Gluster users - May 2019 - Thin-arbiter questions

Hi David, 

Creation of thin-arbiter volume is currently supported by GD2 only. The command
" glustercli " is available when glusterd2 is running.
We are also working on providing thin-arbiter support on glusted however, it is
not available right now.

Subject: [Gluster-users] Thin-arbiter questions 

Hello, 

We are setting up a thin-arbiter and hope someone can help with some questions.
We've been following the documentation from
https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Thin-Arbiter-Volumes/ .

1. What release of 5.x supports thin-arbiter? We tried a "gluster volume
create" with the --thin-arbiter option on 5.5 and got an "unrecognized
option --thin-arbiter" error.

2. The instruction to create a new volume with a thin-arbiter is clear. How do
you add a thin-arbiter to an already existing volume though?

3. The documentation suggests running glusterfsd manually to start the
thin-arbiter. Is there a service that can do this instead? I found a mention of
one in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1579786 but it's not
really documented.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi Ashish,

Thanks very much for that reply. How stable is GD2? Is there even a vague
ETA on when it might be supported in gluster?
