<div dir="ltr"><div><div>hi, I did not see a reply to my problem. Let me ask it in a different way...<br><br></div>If I have bricks from a previous glusterfs volume and that volume is now gone because of the old machine was replaced, now I tried to create a new volume and add the old bricks to the new volume with the "force" opinion to "volume create". The old data files are still in the bricks but when I mount the new volume the new volume shows it is empty.<br><br></div>Is it possible for glusterfs to recognize the old data files on the bricks in some way to essentially re-create the same view as the old volume, via some kind of healing or meta data re-scan or re-creation? The bricks are in good shape with no data corruption and are in sync (same data were replicated).
