Fixed In Version:	rhsc-3.1.0-57
Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, the xattrs and residual .glusterfs files were present for previously used bricks. As a consequence, the previously used bricks to create a new volume failed from Red Hat Gluster Storage Console. With this fix, force flag has been added in the option in the UI to pass "force" flag to the volume create command that clears xattrs and allows the bricks to be reused.

Description Wesley Duffee-Braun 2013-05-06 10:23:31 EDT

Description of problem:
When using RHSC 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.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHSC 2

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.

Additional info:
Process is done manually when using the CLI (documented here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812214), it would be useful if RHSC did the same.

This needs a CLI

> This needs a CLI

Hello,

Is the "This needs a CLI" in reference to the RHSC product in general or for this BZ specifically?

Thanks,
Wesley

Moving this to ON_QA as its already take care by the force flag in the add brick UI.

Comment 14 RamaKasturi 2015-05-22 03:29:12 EDT

Please provide the fixed in version

Comment 15 RamaKasturi 2015-05-27 07:24:06 EDT

This feature is now supported in rhsc and available for the cluster compatibility version of 3.3 and higher. 

When user tries to create a volume and click on the add brick dialog a dialog opens up and there is a check box  which says "Allow bricks in root partition and re-use the bricks by clearing xattrs" by checking this option xattrs on the bricks can be cleared.
