[Gluster-users] Getting glusterfs to expand volume size to brick size

Hi Artem,

Was the volume size correct before the bricks were expanded?

This sounds like [1] but that should have been fixed in 4.0.0. Can you let
us know the values of shared-brick-count in the files in
/var/lib/glusterd/vols/dev_apkmirror_data/ ?
