Gluster users - May 2014 - What does N/A mean in the port column for status

Hi

I had to restart some of my servers to do hardware maintenance and
although the volume came back ok and all the clients can see all the
data, when I do a gluster vol status I see the following for all the
bricks on one of the servers.

Brick nas2-10g:/data6/gvol	N/A	Y	3721

I've tried restarting glusterd daemons on all servers but to no avail.

So what exactly does the N/A mean? Does it mean that Gluster is not
working because all seems fine from the client end. Can I leave it like
this or is there something I can do to fix it without taking the volume
offline?

Cheers,

I noticed this recently on one of my peers and the following on the peer 
in question resolved it.

# service glusterd stop
# pkill glusterfs
# service glusterd start

Obviously, this will take this peer and any bricks it owns off-line so 
be aware of the implications if the bricks in question have no 
redundancy (distribute only).
