<div>First up - one of the things that concerns
me re gluster is the incoherent state of
documentation. The only docs linked on the
main webpage are for 3.2 and there is almost
nothing on how to handle failure modes such as
dead disks/bricks etc, which is one of
glusters primary functions.<br>

Every link under Documentation at <a href="http://gluster.org" target="_blank">http://gluster.org</a> points to the
<a href="http://gluster.readthedocs.org" target="_blank">gluster.readthedocs.org</a> pages that are all current. Where is this
"main webpage" in which you found links to the old wiki pages?<span class=""><br></span></div></blockquote><div><br><br>The Community Page:<br><br> <a href="http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php">http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php</a><br><br></div><div>Which is what came up at the top when i searched for gluster documentation.

My problem - I have a replica 2 volume, 2 nodes,
2 bricks (zfs datasets).<br>
<br>
</div>
As a test, I destroyed one brick (zfs destroy the
dataset).<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
Can't start the datastore1:<br>
<br>
volume start: datastore1: failed: Failed to find
brick directory /glusterdata/datastore1 for volume
datastore1. Reason : No such file or directory<br>
<br>
</div>
A bit disturbing, I was hoping it would work off the
remaining brick.<br>

It <b>is</b> still working off the remaining brick. It won't start
the missing brick because the missing brick is missing. This is by
design. If, for whatever reason, your brick did not mount, you don't
want gluster to start filling your root device with replication from
the other brick.<br></div></blockquote><div><br><br></div><div>It wouldn't start the *Datastore*, so all bricks were unavailable. I did stop the datastore myself in the first place, but I would have expected I could restart it.<br><br><br></div><br></div>thanks,<br><br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Lindsay</div>
