Hi!

Until now, I use Gluster in a 2-server setup (volumes created with
replica 2).

Upgrading the hardware, it would be helpful to extend to volume to
replica 3 to integrate the new machine and adding the respective brick
and to reduce it later back to 2 and removing the respective brick when
the old machine is cancelled and not used anymore.

But it seems that this requires to delete and recreate the volumes, as I
did not find a way to increase/decrease the replica value.

Any hints?

Regards,
