[Gluster-users] Volume creation fails with "prefix of it is already part of a volume"

[Stroppa Daniele (strp)]

Hi Vijay,

I did saw the link you posted, but as mentioned earlier I get this error
when creating the volume for the first time, not when I try to remove and
then re-add a brick to a volume.

Thanks,
