Gluster users - Dec 2017 - 'ERROR: parsing the volfile failed' on fresh install

Hi all,
I?m trying out gluster by following the Quick Start guide on two fresh installs
of Ubuntu 16.04. One one node I was able to install and start gluster just fine.
One the other node I am running into the following:

$ sudo service glusterd start
Job for glusterd.service failed because the control process exited with error
code. See "systemctl status glusterd.service" and "journalctl
-xe" for details.



$ sudo journalctl -xe | tail
-- Unit glusterd.service has begun starting up.
Dec 12 20:17:46 u101410 GlusterFS[29360]: [glusterfsd.c:2004:parse_cmdline]
0-glusterfs: ERROR: parsing the volfile failed [No such file or directory]

I wasn?t able to find much information regarding this error. I have tried
removing gluster (via sudo apt autoremove glusterfs-server) and reinstalling but
that did not help.

Any ideas on what to try?

Thanks,
Ben

Seems like you don't have the glusterd.vol file installed in the node. Can
you please cross check?
