You can set the free disk space limit. This will force gluster to write files
to another volume.
gluster volume set "volume" cluster.min-free-disk XXGB (you insert
your volume name and the amount of free space you want, probably like 2-300GB)
Running a rebalance would help move your files around so that gl4 is not filled
up.
gluster volume rebalance "volume" start
