Hi I need some advice. I'm currently on 3.8.10 and would like to know the following: 1. If I add an arbiter to an existing volume should I also run a rebalance? 2. If I had sharding enabled would adding the arbiter trigger the corruption bug? 3. What's the procedure to enable sharding on an existing volume so that it shards already existing files? 4. Suppose I have sharding disabled, then add an arbiter brick, then enable sharding and execute the procedure for point 3, would this still trigger the corruption bug? Thanks, Alessandro
I can't answer all of these, but I think the only way to share existing files is to create a new volume with sharding enabled and copy the files over into it.

As I understand it, only new files will be sharded, but simply renaming or moving them may be enough in that case. I'm interested in the arbiter/sharding bug you've mentioned. Could you provide any more details or a link?
