Gluster users - Dec 2010 - What does this mean? State: Peer Rejected (Connected)

I have two test servers in replica 2 and both mounted using mount -t glusterfs
localhost:/test-volume, they're connected and appear to be replicating files
fine in both directions, however this peer status remains on both servers and I
don't know what it means or what to do about it - and to feel confident
using it in a production environment it's important that I know what to
expect from it.


I've found so little on this subject via google that I briefly checked the
source to see if there were any comments to help me understand it. With no
helpful comments there, no answer as of yet on IRC, I've come to the mailing
list in hopes some light can be shed on this.


Thanks for any help everyone :)

hi Freddie,
    A Peer is Rejected during "peer probe" if the two peers have
conflicting volumes, i.e. volumes with same name but different contents.
Is this what happened to you?.

Thanks
Pranith.

Yes probe will automatically happen. Lets say you killed glusterd on one machine
and did some configuration on the other machine, when the first glusterd is
started again they will go into rejected state because there will be conflicts
in the configuration. glusterfs and glusterd are different processes, so there
will not be any problem with the replication or any thing that was happening
before they went into rejected state. Lets say 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3 are two
peers in cluster which went into rejected state. If you execute a gluster
command on 192.168.1.2 it wont be effective on 192.168.1.3. and vice versa.

Does peer probe happen automatically when a gluster daemon is restarted? ... The
files appear to be the same, they're replicating, too.
