 Hi Gilberto,

I think debian12 packages don't have
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/pull/4404/commits/c433a178e8208e1771fea4d61d0a22a95b8bc74b
Run on source and destination this command and try again:
sed -i 's/readfp/read_file/g'
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glusterfs/python/syncdaemon/gsyncdconfig.py

In my test setup where source and destinations are each a single debian 12 with
a hackishl created gluster_shared_storage volume and executing the sed, I got:


# gluster volume geo-replication vol1 geoaccount at gluster2::georep create
push-pem
Creating geo-replication session between vol1 & geoaccount at
gluster2::georep has been successful

Hello there?My testing was with proxmox 9 which has Debian 13.I tried with
gluster 11.1 from Debian repo and then version 11.2 from git repo.I got
statefile's name issue with both.Then I compiled the version 12dev and could
create geo-replication session with success but got faulty status?
So that's it.

 Hi Gilberto,

I have no idea why my previous message was not sent (sorry about that).
I suspect it's a bug. If you have some script or ansible playbook for the
setup, it could help me reproduce it locally.

I still don't get it, because with Debian BookWorm and Gluster 10, geo-rep
works perfectly.It's something about Trixie and Gluster 11.x.

 I had this problem a year ago, Aug 2024. I went rounds and rounds with Strahil
for a week, trying to find why I couldn't cross the finish line of
successful georep. It always ends in:
 
 Please check gsync config file. Unable to get statefile's name

 The volumes were set up properly, the commands for georep were done correctly,
per guidelines, but georep was left forever in a state of Created, never Active.
 
 Finally I just gave up. I can't use gluster if it won't work with me. I
found that gluster would not give enough adequate diagnostics to provide a
(useful!) explanation of what is actually wrong. ________

[Gluster-users] Failed to Establish Geo-replication Session Please check gsync config file. Unable to get statefile's name

Hi

I had succeeded in creating the session with the other side.
But I got a Faulty status
I the gsyncd.log I got this:

Popen: command returned error [{cmd=rsync -aR0 --inplace --files-from=-
--super --stats --numeric-ids --no-implied-dirs --existing --xattrs --acls
--ignore-missing-args . -e ssh -oPasswordAuthentication=no
-oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /var/lib/glusterd/geo-replication/secret.pem
-p 22 -oControlMaster=auto -S
/tmp/gsyncd-aux-ssh-2j2yeofa/5afb71218219138854b3c5a8eab300a4.sock
-caes128-ctr gluster3:/proc/2662/cwd}, {error=12}]


This also happens with Gluster 12dev.

After compiling the gluster 12dev, I successfully create a geo-rep session
but get the error above.


Any clue?


Best Regards
