[Gluster-users] Not possible to stop geo-rep after adding arbiter to replica 2

[mabi]

For sake of completeness here below I pasted the relevant part of the etc-glusterfs-glusterd.vol.log log file from my arbiter node. Strangely enough one of the log message says that the file /var/lib/glusterd/geo-replication/gsyncd_template.conf does not exist but I checked and it does exist on all nodes including the arbiter node.

> For example when I would like to stop my volume I simply can't and I get the following error:
> volume stop: myvolume: failed: Staging failed on arbiternode.domain.tld. Error: geo-replication Unable to get the status of active geo-replication session for the volume 'myvolume'.
> What should I do here? Should I delete the geo-replication and re-create it? Will it then have to sync again all my data? I have around 500 GB of data so I would like to avoid that if possible. Any other solutions?
