[Gluster-users] set: failed: Quorum not met. Volume operation not allowed.

[WK]

I stopped the volume.

I ran the remove-brick command. It warned about not being able to 
migrate files from removed bricks and asked if I want to continue.

when I say 'yes'

Gluster responds with 'failed: Quorum not met Volume operation not allowed'
