Gluster users - Mar 2011 - Mac OS X mounting hints

As stated here:

http://www.moosefs.org/news-reader/items/MFS_running_on_Mac_OS_X..html

MooseFS native client can be mounted on OS X.
Is there anyone having experience in this field that can contribute some 
hints for this task?

Thank you

Hello.

According to the GlusterFS documentation, adding bricks allows a "replica
N" argument in the command line, as show by this phrase from the manual:

    Brick Commands

        volume add-brick VOLNAME [(replica COUNT)|(stripe COUNT)] NEW-BRICK ...

            Add the specified brick to the specified volume.

I currently have two servers, volume configured like this:

Volume Name: test-pfs-ro1
Type: Distributed-Replicate
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 2 x 2 = 4
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: jc1letgfs5:/export/read-only/g01
Brick2: jc1letgfs6:/export/read-only/g01
Brick3: jc1letgfs5:/export/read-only/g02
Brick4: jc1letgfs6:/export/read-only/g02
Options Reconfigured:
performance.stat-prefetch: on
performance.cache-size: 2GB
network.ping-timeout: 10

I want to add the next two servers, which are identically configured with
hardware, storage, filesystems, etc. However, adding the bricks using the
"replica" argument to indicate that I want this added as another set
of mirrors, fails - as seen below:

gluster volume add-brick test-pfs-ro1 replica 2 jc1letgfs7:/export/read-only/g01
jc1letgfs8:/export/read-only/g01 jc1letgfs7:/export/read-only/g02
jc1letgfs8:/export/read-only/g02

wrong brick type: replica, use <HOSTNAME>:<export-dir-abs-path>
Usage: volume add-brick <VOLNAME> <NEW-BRICK> ...
Adding brick to Volume test-pfs-ro1 failed

Anybody able to help me out here? Just to forestall the question "have you
tried adding the storage without the replica 2 parameters?" - yes, I have,
and that gives me a set of servers in which taking down any one node causes all
clients to hang until that node comes back up - I posted an earlier thread
asking for help with that here:
