[Gluster-users] Adding/Removing bricks/changing replica value of a replicated volume (Gluster 3.2.1, OpenSuse 11.3/11.4)

[Amar Tumballi]

As of now, there is no option to increase the replica count of a given
volume. We are working on this (bug 3305), and this feature will come only
in release-3.3.0
