Fixed In Version: glusterfs-3.4.0.53rhs
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, if a brick was used by a volume, it was not possible to add that brick to any other volume even after the volume was deleted. As a result, the brick partition was rendered unusable. With this update, a "force" option is added to the 'volume create' and 'add-brick' commands.

Description Aravinda VK 2013-12-23 07:02:55 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1007509 +++

When trying to add bricks to a volume, if the bricks had been previously used, the add can fail due to fattr's and residual /bricks/app/.glusterfs files.



How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a brick that was previously used to add to a new volume
2. Attempt to add that brick
  
Actual results:
Add fails with error messages similar to below
/bricks/app or a prefix of it is already part of a volume

Expected results:
Add works correctly with the fattr's and files removed/set properly.

    Expectation with force is that user is aware of the consequences of
    sanity checks not being triggered.

Verified and works fine with glusterfs-3.4.0.53rhs-1.el6rhs.x86_64.

Tested the following scenarions

1) Created a new volume with bricks which are part of another volume which was deleted.

2) Added a brick to the existing volume which was part of another volume which was deleted.

3) Removed a brick from the existing volume and added it to the new volume.
