[Gluster-users] Can't stop or delete volume

[Gerald Brandt]

Hi,

I just ended up rebuilding my bricks (by removed glusterfs completely, including config files, and reinstalling from scratch).

Thanks for the pointer. 

Step 1 fails to return a UUID. If I 'gluster peer status' on the working server, I get: 

Number of Peers: 1 

Hostname: quad 
Uuid: 03eaca98-ac4f-4b61-9b30-7e1b40b01d9b 
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) 

I then go to step 2 with the shown UUID. 

I start glusterd on the failed server and peer probe the working server: 

root at quad:~# /etc/init.d/glusterd start 
* Starting glusterd service glusterd [ OK ] 
root at quad:~# gluster peer probe thinkpad 
thinkpad is already part of another cluster 
root at quad:~# gluster peer status 
No peers present 
root at quad:~# 

Stuck again.

Hi Gerald, 

The volume and peer information is by default stored in /etc/glusterd 
which I guess was wiped when you reinstalled. 

This should help restore the correct settings

Alternatively I believe you can delete some files in /etc/glusterd 
if you don't want to restore the volume. 
Just not sure which ones :) 

Best regards, 

Gabriel
