Gluster users - Aug 2011 - GlusterFS 3.2.2 CentOS 6 client?

Anyone using CentOS 6 x86_64 clients to access GlusterFS 3.2.2 server farm (we
have two servers in a distributed config)? I'm not having any luck with
either NFS or Gluster Fuse mounts.

I have installed a test CentOS 6 machine as a test (currently our entire
environment is CentOS 5 x86_64 machines). I can't get the EL6 client to
successfully mount the Gluster file system.

I've tried mounting via NFS (where scratch is the volume name):

mount -t nfs glustersrv-01:/scratch /scratch

and by using the GlusterFS fuse mount (3.2.2 clients)

mount -t glusterfs glustersrv-01:/scratch /scratch

The NFS mount attempt will hang for quite a while before it finally times out
The Gluster client mount returns and shows that the file system is mounted,
however I can't access it:

$ mount | grep gluster
10.0.0.11:/scratch on /scratch type fuse.glusterfs
(rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072)

$ ls -l /scratch
ls: cannot access /scratch: No such file or directory

I am able to successfully mount and access this file system on my CentOS 5
systems.

Thanks for any ideas,

Mike

Ok, I figured out one piece, the NFS mount needs -o nfsvers=3, in EL6 the client
defaults to nfs4, however it's supposed to try that, then version 3 and so
on. That's not working for the Gluster NFS, it is working when NFS mounting
one of my other NFSv3 servers (non Gluster).

mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 glustersrv-01:/scratch /scratch

The GlusterFS client may be my rebuild of the Gluster RPMs for EL6.

Is the Gluster team working on official 3.2.2 and later RPMs for EL6 (RHEL6,
CentOS6, and others)?
