[Gluster-users] Reconfiguring volume type

[Rahul C S]

Hey Fabricio,

No it can not be done as of now. To make the volume type distributed replicate, you need to have 2 brick replicated volume and then add 2 more bricks to make it distributed replicate. The conversion from distribute to distributed-replicate volume can not be done right now.

is it possible with the current 3 servers setup that Udo has, to add 1 server 
to the volume, then change the volume type to distribute-replicate, and after 
add the other 2 servers ?
