Hello, I'm very new to Gluster but have managed to install the Gluster Platform. I have created a volume called vol1 that is a mirror of two drives in a node. I am trying to mount the volume from a client using glusterfs. Here is the command I am using: mount -t glusterfs 192.168.1.17:vol1-tcp /mnt/glusterfs I get the following: Error while getting volume file from server 192.168.1.17 Please guide me in the correct direction.

The best and easies to start is to use the glusterfs-volgen like here: http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Storage_Server_Installation_and_Configuration#Configuring_GlusterFS This creates you two files. And then mount it with this command: mount -t glusterfs /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol /mnt/glusterfs Greez Michael
Thanks for your immediate responses. I seem to have it working now. I changed to a mirroring two drives in separate nodes. And also changed the volume name to "volume1". Don't know which one fixed it or if neither did? But it works now.
