Hi, You can use
riak-admin reip <old nodename> <new nodename> to rename a node from what it was before your crash, to the new node name after the crash. That way the other nodes will know that the data has "moved". Run this command on one of the live nodes before the new node is started. Documentation here: https://wiki.basho.com/Command-Line-Tools---riak-admin.html While your node is off-line, the other nodes will be accepting updates on behalf of the down node; and forwarded to it once it gets online again.

This is on Amazon EC2 and I could keep the EBS volume with the riak data from the old node and attach it to the new. / Jonas _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com Mobile: + 45 2343 4626 | Skype: krestenkrabthorup | Twitter: @drkrab Trifork A/S | Margrethepladsen 4 | DK- 8000 Aarhus C | Phone : +45 8732 8787 | www.trifork.com<http://www.trifork.com> _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
