[Gluster-users] Thin-arbiter questions

Hello,

We are setting up a thin-arbiter and hope someone can help with some
questions. We've been following the documentation from
https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Thin-Arbiter-Volumes/
.

1. What release of 5.x supports thin-arbiter? We tried a "gluster volume
create" with the --thin-arbiter option on 5.5 and got an "unrecognized
option --thin-arbiter" error.

2. The instruction to create a new volume with a thin-arbiter is clear. How
do you add a thin-arbiter to an already existing volume though?

3. The documentation suggests running glusterfsd manually to start the
thin-arbiter. Is there a service that can do this instead? I found a
mention of one in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1579786 but
it's not really documented.

Thanks in advance for your help,
