Hi, I’m using the GlusterFS stack from the Rancher catalog. I did some experiments and it works fine, but I need some help scaling the service: scaling the service (up and down) the gluster volume is not automatically fixed. With “gluster peer status” I see both new and old (disconnected) peers. With “gluster volume info” I see the original bricks configuration. Could you provide a guide to fix the glusterfs volume in case of service scaling? I need to replace bricks and peers. I took a look to the glusterfs documentation, but it’s not clearly explained… ---

We are just starting to add a more thorough readme for the GlusterFS service, but at this time, when scaling the GlusterFS service, the gluster volume will not be updated with the new nodes. ---

Thank you Denise, I’ll do some experiments, if I find a solution I’ll post it there. ---

The intent of the catalog is to help have people get GlusterFS setup, and at this point in time, we don’t plan on providing a managed gluster solution. ---

@cloudnautique is working on improving our GlusterFS solution though. The difficult part is automatic management when new nodes are added. ---

Perhaps using something like consul event handlers to manage the service? ---

well, you have built the GlusterFS in official catalog, and @deved is having difiiculties with a native function of gluster: isn’t it suppose to be a distributed FS? if when scaling the main feature of gluster is not working…is not “only” our problem… also, “at this point” we are not asking for a managed gluster solution from a open source pioneer like you, we are asking support for a native function that actualy as per @deved issue, is not working. any, and i mean ANY help is apreciated. thank you
