Dear All, having tried for a longer while and having read thoug many posts, I am still seeking a reliable method to get gluster NFS to start on localhost in a Centos 7 setup. I did have a working setup with two peer servers. After reinstalling one of them, I am plainly unable to get the reinstalled server to start gluster NFS. This is the key output showing that NFS is only running on the other server 192.168.25.40. Of courese, nfs-server and nfs-mountd are off and I plainly do not know how to deactivate kernel NFS any further: [root at linuxhost1 ~]# gluster vol status Status of volume: engine01vol Gluster process Port Online Pid ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brick 192.168.25.30:/kvm01brick/engine/brick 50153 Y 3417 Brick 192.168.25.40:/kvm01brick/engine/brick 50158 Y 17462 NFS Server on localhost N/A N N/A Self-heal Daemon on localhost N/A Y 3475 NFS Server on 192.168.25.40 2049 Y 17489 Self-heal Daemon on 192.168.25.40 N/A Y 17520 /var/log/glusterfs/nfs.log: [2015-01-09 18:09:55.962554] I [MSGID: 100030] [glusterfsd.c:2018:main] 0-/usr/sbin/glusterfs: Started running /usr/sbin/glusterfs version 3.6.2beta1 (args: /usr/sbin/glusterfs -s localhost --volfile-id gluster/nfs -p /var/lib/glusterd/nfs/run/nfs.pid -l /var/log/glusterfs/nfs.log -S /var/run/aa890dcd0b93d4e04b4204de6b9b927c.socket) [2015-01-09 18:09:56.298830] I [rpcsvc.c:2142:rpcsvc_set_outstanding_rpc_limit] 0-rpc-service: Configured rpc.outstanding-rpc-limit with value 16 [2015-01-09 18:09:56.347656] W [nlm4.c:2457:nlm4svc_init] 0-nfs-NLM: unable to get pid of rpc.statd from /var/run/rpc.statd.pid [2015-01-09 18:09:56.456431] E [rpcsvc.c:1303:rpcsvc_program_register_portmap] 0-rpc-service: Could not register with portmap 100021 4 38468 [2015-01-09 18:09:56.456487] E [nfs.c:331:nfs_init_versions] 0-nfs: Program NLM4 registration failed [2015-01-09 18:09:56.456509] E [nfs.c:1341:init] 0-nfs: Failed to initialize protocols [2015-01-09 18:09:56.456546] E [xlator.c:425:xlator_init] 0-nfs-server: Initialization of volume 'nfs-server' failed, review your volfile again [2015-01-09 18:09:56.456564] E [graph.c:322:glusterfs_graph_init] 0-nfs-server: initializing translator failed [2015-01-09 18:09:56.456582] E [graph.c:525:glusterfs_graph_activate] 0-graph: init failed [2015-01-09 18:09:56.457240] W [glusterfsd.c:1194:cleanup_and_exit] (--> 0-: received signum (0), shutting down [root at linuxhost1 ~]# rpcinfo -p program vers proto port service 100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 4 udp 111 portmapper 100000 3 udp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100021 3 udp 47784 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 47784 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 38554 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 38554 nlockmgr 100005 1 tcp 38466 mountd 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100024 1 udp 42238 status 100024 1 tcp 45715 status 100005 1 udp 20048 mountd 100005 2 udp 20048 mountd 100005 3 udp 20048 mountd 100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs 100227 3 tcp 2049 nfs_acl 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 4 udp 2049 nfs 100227 3 udp 2049 nfs_acl 100011 1 udp 875 rquotad 100011 2 udp 875 rquotad 100011 1 tcp 875 rquotad 100011 2 tcp 875 rquotad [root at linuxhost1 ~]# netstat -nlpt | grep -w 47784 [root at linuxhost1 ~]# netstat -nlpt | grep -w 38554 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:38554 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - Can someone please point me to the right direction?
