From GlusterDocumentation

You can expand a volume, as required, by adding new server partitions to an existing volume.

Note: You need to add at least one server partition to a distributed volume, two (or multiples of two) server partitions to mirrored distributed volumes, and four (or multiples of four) server partitions to striped distributed volumes when expanding the storage space.
