[Gluster-users] add-brick command with replica parameter fails

[Amar Tumballi]

Hi James,

Answers inline.

According to the GlusterFS documentation, adding bricks allows a "replica N"
> argument in the command line, as show by this phrase from the manual:

>
>        volume add-brick VOLNAME [(replica COUNT)|(stripe COUNT)] NEW-BRICK
> ...

We have asked this documentation to be removed, even in man-pages this will
be removed. Please don't use replica or stripe count with 'add-brick' and
'remove-brick'.
