[Gluster-users] Removing a brick

[Sam Giraffe]

I get the same blank message when I try brick status with both bricks:

# gluster volume remove-brick art server1:/brick1 server2:/brick2 status

Node Rebalanced-files          size       scanned      failures
skipped               status   run time in secs
