We have three gluster shares (_data, _engine, _export) created by a
brick located on three of our VM hosts. See output from "gluster volume
info" below:

Our issue is that we ran out of space on our gluster-engine bricks which
caused our Hosted Engine vm to crash. We added additional bricks from
new VM Hosts (see vmhost05 to vmhost06 above) but we still are unable to
restart our Hosted Engine due to the first three space being depleted.
My understanding is that I need to extend the bricks that are 100% full
on our engine partition. Is it the best practice to stop the glusterd
service or can I use "gloster volume stop engine" to only stop the
volume I need to extend? Also, if I need to stop glusterd will my VMs
hosted on my ovirt cluster be affected by mount points engine, export,
and data being off line?
Thanks,
Ryan
