[Gluster-users] reset-brick command questions

[Jorick Astrego]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the reset-brick command, but it's not completely clear 
to me

That's what I need, the use case is a disk goes bad on a disperse 
gluster node and we want to replace it with a new disk

> |gluster volume reset-brick VOLNAME HOSTNAME:BRICKPATH start |
This works, I can see in gluster volume status the brick is not there 
anymore

This fails, I unmounted the gluster path, formatted a fresh disk, 
mounted it on the old mount point and created the brick subdir on it.

    gluster volume reset-brick glustervol
    gluster1:/gluster/brick1/glusterbrick1
    gluster1:/gluster/brick1/glusterbrick1 commit force

    volume reset-brick: failed: Source brick must be stopped. Please use
    gluster volume reset-brick <volname> <dst-brick> start.

Why would I even need to specify the "|HOSTNAME:BRICKPATH|" twice? I 
just want to replace the disk and get it back into the volume.
