[Gluster-users] Add new server to glusterFS (replica)

[Miloš Čučulović - MDPI]

Thanks a lot! I will try this asap, but before that, I have an important 
question: is there any downtime on the server1 while installing the 
replica on server2. Our server1 is a production server so I cannot allow 
downtime.

- Kindest regards,
