[Gluster-users] Volume creation fails with "prefix of it is already part of a volume"
Hi All, I'm setting up a small test cluster: 2 nodes (gluster-node1 and gluster-node4) with 2 bricks each (/mnt/brick1 and /mnt/brick2) and one volume (vol_icclab). When I issue the create volume command I get the following error: # gluster volume create vol_icclab replica 2 transport tcp gluster-node4.test:/mnt/brick1/vol_icclab gluster-node1.test:/mnt/brick1/vol_icclab gluster-node4.test:/mnt/brick2/vol_icclab gluster-node1.test:/mnt/brick2/vol_icclab volume create: vol_icclab: failed: /mnt/brick1/vol_icclab or a prefix of it is already part of a volume I checked and found this [1], but in my case the issue it's happening when creating the volume for the first time, not after removing/adding a brick to a volume. Any suggestions?

Are you running with gluster 3.4? I had the same issue. I solved it by deleting my subfolders again and then create new ones. In your case brick1 and brick2. Then create new subfolders in the place,ex.: mkdir /mnt/bricknew1 and /mnt/bricknew2 . This solved the problem for me, not knowing why gluster 3.4 behave like this.

Hi Arman, As explained before, I'm trying to create a new volume on a clean machine. I'm not trying to reuse the brick directories.
