Gluster users - Dec 2009 - GlusterSP fails to create a volume

Hello,

I have 4 test VMs with GlusterSP running on each, and configured each to
have 1 8GB drive containing the OS and 3 additional drives of 1GB each.
However, every time I attempt to create a volume across 2 servers or even
the primary server I get an error message "Create volume failed in one of
the server". I can't find any log information to find out why this is
happening. This was the first attempt to create a volume.

Additionally, even though the volume creation fails, their are client vol
files generated in /etc/glusterfs, namely gluster-tcp.vol and
<servername>-<volumename>-export.vol.

Also, as an aside, the primary gluster installation seems to lose track of
its member servers. Occassionally the other 3 disappear from the server list
and won't reappear unless I reboot them.

Hi Mike,

    Can you send us the screen shot of the errors you saw?.
    What was the volume type you tried to create?.
    Using mirror you need minimum "2" and with stripe
    minimum "4".
