Gluster users - Sep 2015 - Scaling a network - Error while adding new brick to a existing cluster.

Hi all,

        While i am trying to add a new brick in to an existing cluster it
fails, our servers are on linode, i think the problem occurs because, we
created new server by copying/cloning an existing server that already part
of that cluster in to a new server space. So i think the already existing
gluster configuration causes this issue, i need to find-out a solution for
this situation. please confirm the error reason and a working solution.

regards,
sreejith.

Yes it seems likely you have a duplicate conflicting gluster
configuration.  Fixing it  should be fairly easy: clear out
/var/lib/glusterd, and then reinstall the glusterfs  packages.  You will
also have to clear all the extended attributes and files from any brick
directories, it may be easier to reformat the file system if they are on
separate bock devices.  I assume the system has a different host name?  You
should then be able to peer probe the new server from one of the cluster
members.
