Thanks for the quick and helpful reply Geert. Just one more point. Is it the expected behavior that if I do a full shutdown of my cluster, then restart the nodes with --initial that all my tables and data are gone?

Yes, that's *exactly* what initial does - it clears the cluster filesystem on the data node(s).

And my understanding is that you *do* need to use it the very first time you start up a new cluster.

OR when you bring a brand new data node (as a replacement for a crashed one for instance) in the cluster
