This is helpful when a disk goes bad etc</p></blockquote><p>That's what I need, the use case is a disk goes bad on a disperse gluster node and we want to replace it with a new disk<br></p><blockquote><p>Start reset process -</p><pre><code class="bash hljs">gluster volume reset-brick VOLNAME HOSTNAME:BRICKPATH start
</code></pre></blockquote><p>This works, I can see in gluster volume status the brick is not there anymore<br></p><blockquote><p>The above command kills the respective brick process. Now the brick can be reformatted.</p><p>To restart the brick after modifying configuration -</p><pre><code class="bash hljs">gluster volume reset-brick VOLNAME HOSTNAME:BRICKPATH HOSTNAME:BRICKPATH commit

</code></pre></blockquote><p>This fails, I unmounted the gluster path, formatted a fresh disk, mounted it on the old mount point and created the brick subdir on it.</p><blockquote><p>gluster volume reset-brick glustervol gluster1:/gluster/brick1/glusterbrick1 gluster1:/gluster/brick1/glusterbrick1 commit force<br></p><p>volume reset-brick: failed: Source brick must be stopped.
