[Gluster-users] Brick mount points are "bent" after restoring a snapshot

[Strahil Nikolov]

I have used remove-brick+add-brick on a replica volume. Yet, for large bricks that could be a pain due to the ammount of data that has to be synced.

Dear List!
 
  
 
We are using (user serviceable) snapshots and recently, we needed to restore a snapshot for a whole volume.
 
The effect is now, that gluster uses a brick path to the mount of the lvm snapshot.
 
  
 
Brick xyz:/run/gluster/snaps/d44afa00d24e4a249de440dc13bfe42c/brick1/gfs_home_brick1
 
  
 
The original brick mount point (/data/glusterfs_home/gfs_home_brick1) is stuck on the original logical volume, which is now completely out of date, because further work is going to the other logical volume (it seems).
 
In the meantime, a third brick has been added to the (replicated) volume, having the “correct” path.
 
  
 
Is there a preferred/easy/clean way to resolve this, without breaking anything?
 
  
 
Best
 

Rupert
