[Gluster-users] Peer isolation while healing

[WK]

You have replica2 so you can't really take 50% of your cluster down 
without turning off quorum (and risking split brain). So detaching the 
rebuilding peer is really not an option.

If you had replica3 or an arbiter, you CAN detach or isolate the problem 
peer.  I've done things like change the Gluster network IP on the 'bad' 
peer to help speed up a RAID6 rebuild, that wasn't happy with the 
gluster heal process going on at the same time.

Your data will still be available and fully functional on the remaining 
peer (though you lost redundancy)

Then once the raid rebuild had caught up, you could return the peer to 
the cluster and do a final 'heal'.
