Hello! I'm using glusterfs version 2.0.0rc2 on both client and servers and configuration copied literally from http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Automatic_File_Replication_(Mirror)_across_Two_Storage_Servers with only change being replacement of "storage*.example.com" with 2 different "10.*.*.*" IPs. There are 2 servers, 1 client. "server1" is the first server mentioned in client's config, "server2" is the second. I start servers with "glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol" and client with "glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /home/import" My test looks like (commands were issued by hand, so you may assume quite long sleeps between them). server2$ glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol client$ glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /home/import client$ echo 1 > /home/import/1 client$ umount /home/import server1$ glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol client$ glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /home/import client$ ls -l /home/import/1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 0 12:39 /home/import/1 client$ make-a-coffee # e.g. wait a while client$ ls -l /home/import/1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 Mar 2 12:40 /home/import/1 client$ hexdump -C /home/import/1 00000000 00 00 |..| 00000002 So: - first `ls -l` after server1 is brought up gives *0* byte file size, instead of 2 - later `ls -l` gives proper size, but the file is filled with 0 - now, if i do `killall glusterfsd` on server1, client sees file "1" with proper contents, but only until glusterfsd is started on server1 again. This is what is `ls` and `hexdump` gives on servers: server1$ hexdump -C /data/export/1 00000000 00 00 |..| 00000002 server1$ ls -l /data/export/1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 Mar 2 12:40 /data/export/1 server2$ hexdump -C /data/export/1 00000000 31 0a |1.| 00000002 server2$ ls -l /data/export/1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 Mar 2 12:39 /data/export/1 Am I doing something obviously wrong? I'm running both client and servers in OpenVZ VPSes on Debian lenny. Servers have SYS_ADMIN granted for xattrs to work correctly.
