[Gluster-users] Possible to expand DHT volume with additional servers?

[Kamal Varma]

Hi Luke,

Today you would add the new servers to your configuration and re-start all Gluster proceses. Scripts are available for re-balancing files across new nodes.

We are working on a dynamic volume management capability, to be delivered later this year, that will let you do this on the fly.
