Gluster users - Dec 2014 - Backup (or export/import) config of volume?

Hello again,

This is completely unrelated to my previous post.

We're planning to re-setup parts of our gluster-cluster, but re-use the
existing gluster volume data as-is.
In the "Basic Gluster Troubleshooting" documentation article [1] it
says
that [quote]"you can still get things back in no time if you know EXACTLY
how the volumes were laid out before. You DID document that,
right?"[/quote]

Unfortunately, it is not described *how* that should be documented
properly, and I couldn't find docs on import/export of gluster config
(except for the web-GUI).
I'd looove to export my configuration properly before I wipe my setup.

How would I do that?


Thank you very much in advance,
Peter B.

Peter,

If you can take a back up of entire /var/lib/glusterd folder and then
reapply the content in the same location then you get back to the same
state of the cluster where you left off.
