Running remove-brick with cluster.force-migration enabled can result in data corruption. 
It is safer to disable this option so that files that receive writes during migration are not migrated.
Files that are not migrated can then be manually copied after the remove-brick commit operation.
Do you want to continue with your current cluster.force-migration settings? (y/n) y

Check the removed bricks to ensure all files are migrated.
If files with data are found on the brick path, copy them via a gluster mount point before re-purposing the removed brick.
