Having a dedicated disk to store wal files can improve the throughput and stabilize the cluster.
It is highly recommended to dedicate a wal disk and set `--wal-dir` to point to a directory on that device for a production cluster deployment.
If a member’s data directory is ever lost or corrupted then the user should remove the etcd member from the cluster via the [members API][members-api].
If a member’s data directory is ever lost or corrupted then the user should [remove][remove-a-member] the etcd member from the cluster using `etcdctl` tool.
A user should avoid restarting an etcd member with a data directory from an out-of-date backup.
Using an out-of-date data directory can lead to inconsistency as the member had agreed to store information via raft then re-joins saying it needs that information again.
For maximum safety, if an etcd member suffers any sort of data corruption or loss, it must be removed from the cluster.
Once removed the member can be re-added with an empty data directory.

### Restart Cluster from Majority Failure

If the majority of your cluster is lost or all of your nodes have changed IP addresses, then you need to take manual action in order to recover safely.
The basic steps in the recovery process include [creating a new cluster using the old data][disaster recovery], forcing a single member to act as the leader, and finally using runtime configuration to [add new members][add member] to this new cluster one at a time.

If you would like to update a member IP address (peerURLs), first, we need to find the target member's ID. You can list all members with `etcdctl`:

### Remove a Member
Let us say the member ID we want to remove is a8266ecf031671f3.
We then use the `remove` command to perform the removal:
