Gluster users - Oct 2012 - add replication to distribute-only volume....

Another user wrote in and asked about this statement in the "What's
New"
section of 3.3. under "Enhancements to Replicated
Volumes":

It says:
"Ability to change replica count on an active volume (possibly including
ability to add replication to distribute-only volumes)"

I have a 3 node distributed volume that I would love to convert to
replicated.   Can it be done?

Amar,

Oh, that is excellent news.   And a good reason to upgrade that cluster to
3.3.

I've read some questioning about RDMA support with 3.3, which seems to have
been resolved.   This is for a
new cluster I"m bringing up, which will have replication already.   But I
wanted to verify.
