...pying is complete. And until then no IO can happen into this file. (I haven't found the time to work on this, as there exists a workaround and I've been busy with other tasks. If anyone wants to volunteer to get this done, I'll be happy to help).

Hello, So I have a volume on a gluster install (3.12.5) on which sharding was enabled at some point recently. (Don't know how it happened, it may have been an accidental run of an old script.) So it has been happily sharding behind our backs and it shouldn't have. I'd like to turn sharding off and reverse the files back to normal. Some of these are sparse files, so I need to account

Is there a way to manage this? >>> Can you shard just those files, making them replicated in the process? >>> >> Is your question about whether you can shard just that big file that caused space to run out and keep the rest of the files unsharded? This is a bit tricky. From the time you enable sharding on your volume, all newly created shards will get sharded once their size exceeds features.shard-block-size value (which is configurable) because it's a volume-wide option. As for volumes which have pre-existing data even before shard...
