<div dir="ltr">I think you should back up /var/lib/glusterd and then restore it after the reinstall and installation of glusterfs packages. Assuming the node will have the same hostname and ip addresses and you are installing the same version gluster bits, I think it should be fine. I am assuming you are not using ssl for the connections if so you will need to back up the keys for that too.<div><br></div><div>-Alastair</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 8 October 2015 at 00:12, Atin Mukherjee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:amukherj@redhat.com" target="_blank">amukherj@redhat.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class=""><br>

</span>That's possible. You could do the re-installation one at a time. Once<br>
the node comes back online self heal daemon will take care of healing<br>
