Description of problem: cluster.server-quorum-type help text is missing the possible settings in `gluster volume set help` Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gluster volume set help | grep -A2 cluster.server-quorum-type Actual results: Option: cluster.server-quorum-type Default Value: (null) Description: This feature is on the server-side i.e. in glusterd. Whenever the glusterd on a machine observes that the quorum is not met, it brings down the bricks to prevent data split-brains. When the network connections are brought back up and the quorum is restored the bricks in the volume are brought back up. Expected results: Somewhere it should say what the possible values are and the default should be one of those (null doesn't really tell us what the default does). Additional info:
Sanju - could you check this?
According to the documentation https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.4/html/administration_guide/volume_option_table, the cluster.server-quorum-type value is of datatype string and it can be either none or server. The result is in accordance with the documentation. May be not a bug?
Please don't mix match upstream vs downstream. The one what you're referring at is a downstream admin guide for RHGS. gluster volume set help | grep -A2 cluster.server-quorum-type doesn't list down anything in upstream which means it doesn't provide the description of this option which is the bug we need to address.
