<p>Hi everyone.</p>
<p>I'm running a simple Gluster setup like this:</p>
<p> * Replicate 2x1</p>
<p> * Only 2 nodes, with one brick each</p>
<p> * Nodes are CentOS 7.0, uising GlusterFS 3.5.3 (yes, I know
it's old, I just can't upgrade right now)</p>
<p>No sharding or anything "fancy". This Gluster volume is used to
host VM images, and are used by both nodes (which are gluster
server and clients). Last week, I had a big storage issue, related
to LVM (I'll probably post some more about it as I have other
questions regarding to this failure), but anyway, I had data
corruption, I had to disconnect one brick and continue on a single
one. On this brick still alive, all the files have been modified,
some renamed, some created.</p>
<p>Now, I need to reconnect the faulty brick. It still have data,
but which I want to discard. I don't want to reconnect it right
away because I'm not sure what's the state of the data on this
brick for Gluster, I'd just like to discard everything and sync
from the running brick.</p>
<p>I red

but my setup has some differences (I'm in pure replication mode,
no distribution, and I'm not replacing a brick, I just want to
bring back a previously existing one, I just want to be sure
Gluster will discard its data and sync from the other, and not
create a split brain situation)</p>
<p>Could I just remove the content of the brick (including the
.glusterfs directory) and reconnect ?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'd really like some help from GlusterFS experts here :-)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
