3.4.7 Deleting a Volume

Deleting a volume erases all data on the volume. To delete a volume, first stop it, then use the command:

gluster volume delete volume_name

You are requested to confirm the operation. Enter y to confirm that you want to delete the volume and erase all data.

If you want to reuse the storage, you should remove all directories on each node. For example:

# rm -rf /data/glusterfs/myvolume/mybrick/*
