Gluster users - Jun 2012 - Troubleshooting Unified Object and File Storage in 3.3

Hi everyone,

I've been working on testing UFO in Gluster 3.3, but I've had a hard
time getting it working. I've been following along with the admin guide
at
http://www.gluster.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Gluster_File_System-3.3.0-Administration_Guide-en-US.pdf,
on chapter 12.

I've been testing on CentOS 6.2. The only command from the Admin guide
I've run successfully has been: curl -v -H 'X-Storage-User:
test:tester'
-H 'X-Storage-Pass:testing' -k http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0.

I started out with a centos machine running gluster-swift, which I was
connecting to a four node gluster cluster. It wasn't clear to me from
the admin guide where I was supposed to mount my gluster volume, so I've
tried various permutations, including mounting it at the location
specified in the /etc/swift/fs.conf file, with a symlink to the
/srv/1/node location cited in the 1.conf files provided by the
gluster-swift-plugin package.

I also tried creating a gluster volume on the same server as the
gluster-swift, but that didn't work for me, either.

Is there a better source of docs than the admin guide? I'll be happy to
help write this up once I get everything working.

One more thing, the 3.3 admin guide talks about downloading the 3.2
version of gluster-swift and gluster-swift-plugin -- I'd assumed that
that was a typo, and I've been working with the packages from 3.3, but
maybe I was wrong there -- are the 3.2 packages the right ones?

Thanks, Jason

You will need to mount the gluster volume at 
/mnt/gluster-object/<account>. For the example in admin guide, 
/mnt/gluster-object/AUTH_test needs to be the mountpoint for your 
gluster volume.

The admin guide sources are in the glusterfs git repo now and has some 
updates in release-3.3 branch since the last published version. You can 
look that up and also contribute patches for that via gerrit.

That certainly is a typo. Fixed in release-3.3 doc as part of:
