gluster volume remove-brick vol_distributed node03:/glusterfs/distributed start

It is recommended that remove-brick be run with cluster.force-migration option disabled to prevent possible data corruption. Doing so will ensure that files that receive writes during migration will not be migrated and will need to be manually copied after the remove-brick commit operation. Please check the value of the option and update accordingly.
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.
