Hello,
i have 2 bricks in distributed volume (vol1) with GlusterFS 3.6.1. Sadly one brick dies complete, so i lost nearly half of data. So i installed this server new and created a new volume (vol2). I peer running server2 and wanted to copy all files from vol1 to vol2, but i got read and write error. So i stopped vol1 and moved all files direct from server2 volume folder to new vol2. Now i notice that the diskspace doesnt changed and found this about hardlinks in .glusterfs. My question now is, how could i cleanup the .glusterfs folder for files i allready moved to new volume and perhaps from old vol1.
