I have a three server replicated volume setup (scalable network filesystem for cloud and VMs). I need to add one more server. How do I add a new a new brick to an existing replicated volume on a Debian or Ubuntu/CentOS Linux?

I have setup total four servers in cloud based data center. They run either CentOS or Ubuntu Linux. I need to make sure clustered file system performance is reasonable as my servers shared with other users. How do I check the speed between the two Linux servers using command line options for private LAN/VLAN?
