[Gluster-users] help! - cant bring 1 of 4 servers up..

[Pranith Kumar K]

After debugging the problem with paul on IRC, we found that because his 
disk had no free space, the subsequent writes on one of the peer files 
(used for recovering run-time information) failed so the file became 
empty. Because of this glusterd could not restore that peer so it is not 
re-starting successfully. We copied the contents of that file from other 
peer in the cluster to the problematic one. Then glusterd started 
successfully.
