Nah, no irony ment.Just use RedHat's documentation for 3.5 or  https://docs.gluster.org for the version in use. I never use oVirt UI for managing gluster and obviously I never checked oVirt's documentation on the topic. Adding bricks is useful when:- using very fast storage like NVMe (please

Hi Strahil, when you said "The Gluster documentation on the topic is quite extensive", I wasn't quite sure, if that was mean to be ironic: you typically are not. At the moment the only documentation I can see navigating from the documentation menu on ovirt.org is this: 11.6. Preparing and

Sort of. :) It'll be a dance, as I'm going to need to do 1 of 2 things: - Put the host into Maintenance mode inside oVirt Engine, then intentionally degrade each RAID array, add the larger disks, and heal the RAID. Then take the host out of maintenance mode. This would take some time, as my

Gluster allows converting from replicted to distributed-replicated (so called expansion) of the volume. Of course you need to add the same amount of bricks as the replica count (which should be either 'replica 3' or 'replica 3 arbiter 1'). The Gluster documentation on the topic is quite
