Confirmed for gluster 7.9 in distributed-replicate and pure replicate volume. One of my 3 nodes died :( I removed all bricks from dead node and added to new node. I then started to add an arbiter volume as the distributed-replicate is configured for 2 replica 1 arbiter. I made sure to use the exac

Based on your output it seems that add-brick (with force) did not destroy the already existing data, right ? Have you checked the data integrity after the add-brick ? For example you can sha256sum several randomly picked files and compare across the bricks. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov В
