Hi, 

Some of the the steps provided by you are not correct. 
You should have used reset-brick command which was introduced for the same task you wanted to do. 

https://docs.gluster.org/en/v3/release-notes/3.9.0/ 

Although your thinking was correct but replacing a faulty disk requires some of the additional task which this command 
will do automatically. 

Step 1 :- kill pid of the faulty brick in node >>>>>> This should be done using "reset-brick start" command. follow the steps provided in link. 
Step 2 :- running volume status, shows "N/A" under 'pid' & 'TCP port' 
Step 3 :- replace disk and mount new disk in same mount point where the old disk was mounted 
Step 4 :- run command "gluster v start volname force" >>>>>>>>>>>> This should be done using "reset-brick commit force" command. This will trigger the heal. Follow the link. 
Step 5 :- running volume status, shows "N/A" under ' pid ' & 'TCP port'

Hi, 

I am working on Glusterfs 4.1.6 on a test machine. I am trying to replace a faulty disk and below are the steps I did but wasn't successful with that. 

3 Nodes, 2 disks per node, Disperse Volume 4+2 :- 
Step 1 :- kill pid of the faulty brick in node 
Step 2 :- running volume status, shows "N/A" under 'pid' & 'TCP port' 
Step 3 :- replace disk and mount new disk in same mount point where the old disk was mounted 
Step 4 :- run command "gluster v start volname force" 
Step 5 :- running volume status, shows "N/A" under ' pid ' & 'TCP port' 

expected behavior was a new brick process & heal should have started. 

following above said steps 3.10.1 works perfectly, starting a new brick process and heal begins. 
But the same step not working in 4.1.6, Did I miss any steps? what should be done? 

Amudhan
