[Gluster-users] different size of nodes

[Papp Tamas]

hi All,

There is a distributed cluster with 5 bricks:

gl0
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4       5.5T  4.1T  1.5T  75% /mnt/brick1
gl1
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4       5.5T  4.3T  1.3T  78% /mnt/brick1
gl2
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4       5.5T  4.1T  1.4T  76% /mnt/brick1
gl3
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4       4.1T  4.1T  2.1G 100% /mnt/brick1
gl4
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4       4.1T  4.1T   24M 100% /mnt/brick1

As you can see 2 of the bricks are smaller and they're full.
The gluster volume is not full of course:

gl0:/w-vol       25T   21T  4.0T  84% /W/Projects


I'm not able to write to the volume. Why? Is it an issue? If so, is it known?
How can I stop writing to full nodes?

Thanks,
