I have been told this is do-able but I haven't tested it much
myself. I would be interested in hearing about this from anyone who
has done it.<br>
<br>
From what I heard on irc you can do the following:<br>
<br>
1. Have existing data in server1:/data1<br>
2. Stop all changes to server1:/data1<br>
3. Create a volume: gluster volume create....server1:/data1
server2:/data2<br>
4. Mount the new volume via FUSE<br>
5. Trigger a self-heal: find gluster-mount -noleaf -print0 | xargs
--null stat >/dev/null<br>
<br>
I also heard that there could be GFID problem if the data was
previously in another Gluster volume. <br>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">The use case is that we
have a multiTB data partition that we would like to glusterize.
Could we add that store to a gluster volume and have it
explicitly rebalance across the gluster volume? Or would the
existing files/layout be ignored?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">this would be a big
selling point in justifying gluster to owners of large existing
data stores.</p>
