For 3.6 version, we don't need mount the new drive to the same mount point. The "volume replace-brick commit force" operation is supported on that version even the replaced brick is offline. But the pro active healing is not supported and during the healing triggered by the client the xattr on the new brick still cannot be healed properly. Some xattr accessing errors are reported in the log files if I remember correctly. So even the new brick is replaced in the volume file, the data does not be healed. I once wrote a experimental script to fix all xattr of the files and directories on the new brick according to the information of other bricks. It seems to work.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436800294014_5930" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436800294014_5930" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436800294014_15397">For 3.7 version, the "volume replace-brick commit force" is disabled if the replaced brick is offline, both for the disperse volume and for the AFR volume.
