[Gluster-users] cannot create a new volume with a brick that used to be part of a deleted volume?

["Dr. Jörg Petersen"]

Hello,

    what I regularly do:
1) Create a snapshot (btrfs) of Brick
2) reassemble the snapshots into an new (Snapshot-) Gluster-Volume

When Reassembling the snapshots I have to remove all xattr's and 
.gluster-Directory.
Since btrfs is painfully slow in deleting, I would prefer an option to 
reuse the Content, wich should be valid for the new (Snapshot-) 
Gluster-Volume...

Greetings,
Jörg
