[Gluster-users] GlusterFS procedures in case of failures?

Hi, I'm deploying a Gluster Cluster, composed of 2 server nodes, 4 
bricks (for now), with a replica 2 distributed setup. So, server1 is 
identical to server2, brick1 on server1 replicates brick1 on server2, 
and brick2 on server1 replicates brick2 on server2. Everything is 
working perfectly.

My main concern is never losing any data and I need to know what to do 
in case of:

1. A whole server crashes.
2. One brick in a server crashes.

In case of 1 happening, lets say that server2 crashes, I should be able 
to get a 3rd server, put 2 empty bricks there and have it replicating 
server1. What is the command I should do to get this working?

In case of 2 happening, lets say that brick1 on server2 crashes, I 
should be able to simply add another brick on server2. What is the 
command I should do to get this working?

Thank you very much for any answers.
