<p>I tried something similar and ended up with a similar error. As
far as I understand the documentation the answer in your case is
"5".<span style="white-space: pre-wrap"> </span></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">"... </span>When expanding
distributed replicated and distributed dispersed volumes,
you need to add a number of bricks that is a multiple of the

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">One suboptimal idea could be: divide the new device in 5 partitions and add these 5 partitions as new bricks and when you get the next device, move one of this bricks to the new device, and so on ... until you have all 5 additional devices. </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">I'm curious for other ideas.
