<div dir="ltr">Hi There,<div><br></div><div>I'm currently testing Gluster for possible production use. I haven't been able to find the answer to this question in the forum arch or in the public docs. It's possible that I don't know which keywords to search for.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here's the question (more details below): let's say that one of my bricks "fails" -- <i>not</i> a whole node failure but a single brick failure within the node. How do I replace a single brick on a node and force a sync from one of the replicas?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have two nodes with 5 bricks each:</div><div><div>gluster> volume info test-a</div><div><br></div><div>Volume Name: test-a</div><div>Type: Distributed-Replicate</div><div>Volume ID: e8957773-dd36-44ae-b80a-01e22c78a8b4</div>

What is the next step? I have tried various combinations of removing and re-adding the brick, replacing the brick, etc. I read in a previous message to this list that replace-brick was for planned changes which makes sense, so that's probably not my next step.</div>
