Hi Timo, Since you have the original ring from the node, all you should have to do is replace the drive, bring Riak up using the same settings as before (in app.config/vm.args), and use the method here to force read-repair to repopulate the data:
http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/running/recovery/repairing-indexes/#Running-a-Repair Note that this operation could be expensive so it's best to do it during an off-peak time. If transfers are taking too much time, you can use the "riak-admin transfer-limit" command to increase transfer rate. -- Luke Bakken CSE lbak...@basho.com On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 10:59 AM, Timo Gatsonides <t...@me.com> wrote: > > I’m looking for advice what the best way forward would be with a failed > drive.
