Yes, its the sort of workaround one can never remember in an emergency,
you'd have to google it up ...

In the case I was working with, probably easier and quicker to do a
remove-brick/add-brick.

On 3.7.4, all you need to do is execute "gluster volume replace-brick 
<volname> commit force" and rest will be taken care by afr. We are in
the process of coming up with new commands like "gluster volume 
reset-brick <volname> start/commit" for wiping/re-formatting of the 
disk. So wait just a little longer :-).
