Gluster volume create succeeds even though same volume name already present , after that if you try volume info , it will go into infinite loop. It is not consistent , but it has happened many times. Volume Name: replicate_volume Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: 192.168.1.52:/home/vijay/export/exp1 Brick2: 192.168.1.52:/home/vijay/export/exp5 root@vostro:~/atf/shwetha/automation# gluster volume create replicate_volume replica 2 192.168.1.52:/home/vijay/export/exp1 192.168.1.52:/home/vijay/export/exp5 Multiple bricks of a replicate volume are present on the same server. This setup is not optimal. Do you still want to continue creating the volume?

This setup is not optimal. Do you still want to continue creating the volume? (y/n) y Creation of volume replicate_volume has been successful. Please start the volume to access data.
please try with master (3.3.0qa24+ versions) and see if it happens again.
NeedInfo pending from last 3months. Please confirm, so we can close the bug. (ref: bug 786006 should have mostly fixed this issue.)
