[Gluster-users] High-availability with KVM?

[Ziemowit Pierzycki]

Can't afford downtime...

I see starting with version 3.8 I can add them while they're online,
but when I try I get:

gluster> v add-brick virt0 replica 3 arbiter 1 dalpinfglt01:/vol/virt/arbt0
volume add-brick: failed: Operation failed

Can I not add a brick that is already used in volume just a different location?
