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 :-).
