Hello, I'm trying to set up an experimental gluster storage cluster using virtual machines (VMs) on Xen. I want to be able to instruct the VMs to "forget" any previous gluster configuration (i.e. the server to forget about all previously configured peers, the peers to forget what storage volumes they are providing, etc). The use case is that the VMs will can be attached to different data stores (bricks?) at different times due to their allocation on particular physical machines. Is there a quick and simple way to get gluster to reset its configuration back to nothing? I am very new to gluster so I apologize for any confusion of terminology here, I hope it is clear what I am asking. Thanks in advance, Joe Whitney

[Gluster-users] How to clean/reset glusterfs config?
Joe, I believe that everything Gluster knows about is stored in /etc/glusterd by default. I have just been removing this directory after shutting down services whenever I want to test something from scratch.
