[Gluster-users] data corruption - any update?

[Mahdi Adnan]

Hi,

We had issues with data corruption before but, with glusterfs 3.8.12 we tested expanding a sharded volume and it worked fine without issues.
Try expanding a test volume and see the results yourself, for me, it was 100% reproducible.

I believe so

That's correct, replacing a brick shouldn't cause corruption, I've done
it a few times without any problems. As long as you don't expand the
cluster, you are fine.

Basically you can add or remove replicas all you want, but you can't add
new replica sets.
