Gluster users - Jul 2017 - Not possible to stop geo-rep after adding arbiter to replica 2

Hello
To my two node replica volume I have added an arbiter node for safety purpose.
On that volume I also have geo replication running and would like to stop it is
status "Faulty" and keeps trying over and over to sync without
success. I am using GlusterFS 3.8.11.
So in order to stop geo-rep I use:
gluster volume geo-replication myvolume gfs1geo.domain.tld::myvolume-geo stop
but it fails to stop it as you can see in the output below:
Staging failed on arbiternode.domain.tld. Error: Geo-replication session between
myvolume and gfs1geo.domain.tld::myvolume-geo does not exist.
geo-replication command failed
How can I now stop geo replication? Is there a manual way to do that?
Regards,
Mabi

I managed to force stopping geo replication using the "force"
parameter after the "stop" but there are still other issues related to
the fact that my geo replication setup was created before I added the additional
arbiter node to my replca.
For example when I would like to stop my volume I simply can't and I get the
following error:
volume stop: myvolume: failed: Staging failed on arbiternode.domain.tld. Error:
geo-replication Unable to get the status of active geo-replication session for
the volume 'myvolume'.
What should I do here? Should I delete the geo-replication and re-create it?
Will it then have to sync again all my data? I have around 500 GB of data so I
would like to avoid that if possible. Any other solutions?
Thanks,
M.
