I can’t delete volume or even detach any peers.
root@DEV-YK[]# gluster vol delete replicated-raidz1
Deleting volume will erase all information about the volume. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y
volume delete: replicated-raidz1: failed: Volume replicated-raidz1 has been started.Volume needs to be stopped before deletion.
root@DEV-YK[]# gluster vol stop replicated-raidz1
Stopping volume will make its data inaccessible. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y
volume stop: replicated-raidz1: success
root@DEV-YK[]# gluster vol delete replicated-raidz1
Deleting volume will erase all information about the volume. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y
volume delete: replicated-raidz1: failed: Some of the peers are down
root@DEV-YK[]# gluster peer status

root@DEV-YK[]# gluster peer detach 192.168.90.11
All clients mounted through the peer which is getting detached need to be remounted using one of the other active peers in the trusted storage pool to ensure client gets notification on any changes done on the gluster configuration and if the same has been done do you want to proceed? (y/n) y
peer detach: failed: One of the peers is probably down. Check with ‘peer status’
Try this.
root@DEV-YK[]# rm -rfv /var/db/system/glusterd/peers/*
root@DEV-YK[]# rm -frv /var/db/system/glusterd/vols/*Then restart glusterd service.
root@DEV-YK[]# systemctl restart glusterd
root@DEV-YK[]# vol info
zsh: command not found: vol
root@DEV-YK[]# gluster vol info
No volumes present
root@DEV-YK[~]# gluster peer status
Number of Peers: 0Voila.
