Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
And I found a link that is about how to use a server to replace a old one as
below.
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.4:_Brick_Restoration_-_Replace_Crashed_Server
My question is following.
1.I found that your recovery step is a little different with the link about sync
the volume.I want to know if both methods are right for recovering the
replicate volume?
2.Is this link is just fit for glusterfs 3.4?My glusterfs version is 3.7.6.Is
the the link fit the glusterfs 3.7.6?
Thanks,
Xin

hostname/ip-address of failed node.

the uuid of 1st node (/var/lib/glusterd/glusterd.info) and modify the content of
the same file with having uuid of 1st node and hostname of 1st node.

>hopefully you have a back up of /var/lib/glusterd/ glusterd.info and
/var/lib/glusterd/peers, if so I think you can copy them back to and restart
glusterd and the volume info should get populated from the other node. If not
you can probably reconstruct these from these files on the other node.
