Gluster users - Jan 2015 - Mounting issue, glusterfs vs mount.glusterfs, locale issue. I RTFM'd, but still a glitch

Hi,

I'm discovering glusterfs and try to see if it could fit our needs.

I installed two nodes running gluster 3.6.1, and a client using 3.6.0.

I'm aware of the bug about the locale, preventing mounting a volume :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157107
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1117951

and I thought I knew the workaround :
https://www.mail-archive.com/gluster-users at gluster.org/msg18183.html

but what is puzzling me is what I observe :

env -i LC_NUMERIC="C" /usr/sbin/glusterfs --volfile-id=glvol00 
--volfile-server=serv-gl-adm1 /mnt

-> mounting OK

env -i LC_NUMERIC="C" mount -t glusterfs serv-gl-adm1:/glvol00 /mnt
Mount failed. Please check the log file for more details.

-> mounting FAILING

According to
https://www.mail-archive.com/gluster-users at gluster.org/msg18193.html
both commands should work...

Precise comparisons of the mnt.log file does not show anything obvious, 
both ways are running strictly the same, but last one is failing with no 
reason.

Hello,

Many people wrote here that the locale / numeric conversion problem when 
mounting would be solved by the 3.6.2 version.
It is not.

[root at client etc]# rpm -qa|grep gluster
glusterfs-libs-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-api-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-fuse-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64

[root at server1_out_of_3 glusterfs]# rpm -qa|grep gluster
glusterfs-libs-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-geo-replication-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-api-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-fuse-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-server-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-cli-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64

The tests below with the exact commands are still resulting in the same 
outcome...
