[Gluster-users] Can't replace dead peer/brick

[Vikas Gorur]

Brian,

Replace-brick is not what you need here. Replace-brick is designed to be
used for a planned decommissioning of a node and migration of data from it
to a new node. You can only use replace-brick when both the source and the
target servers are up and running.

If you have a catastrophic failure where one of the servers gets its OS disk
completely wiped, you need to do this:
