Hi Folks, Anybody have any recent experience building a small cluster that combines GlusterFS and Xen (with bonus points for a Debian environment)? We''re getting ready to shift from a 2-node Xen/Pacemaker/DRBD environment to a 4-node environment - and I''d really like to be able to create/migrate/failover/delete VMs transparently across all 4 nodes. Seems like Gluster might

Hi, I''ve been building up a new HA system, running Xen on DRBD devices. Configuration this applies to: Debian Lenny xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-686 package |**|drbd8-modules-2.6.26-2-686 drbd8-modules-2.6.26-2-xen-686 As I''ve been building the system, I ran into an interesting problem, with two symptoms: 1. running VMs would come back up after a reboot, but would hang on

Hi Folks, I''ve been getting just a little fed up with the state of Xen on Debian Lenny - there are a couple of known bugs that lead to periodic kernel panics - but fixes haven''t made it into the Lenny distribution. I''m sort of waiting to see how things shake out with Debian Squeeze, when it becomes stable, but... I''ve been noticing that Suse (both the

Sorry for my ignorance. When I create xen virtual machines on lvm I need to create a filesystem on lvm container? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Heyho guys, I'm running since years glusterfs in a small environment without big problems. Now I'm going to use glusterFS for a bigger cluster but I've some questions :) Environment: * 4 Servers * 20 x 2TB HDD, each * Raidcontroller * Raid 10 * 4x bricks => Replicated, Distributed volume * Gluster 3.4 1) I'm asking me, if I can

Dear gluster experts, We're running glusterfs 3.3 and we have met file permission probelems after gluster volume rebalance. Files got stick permissions T--------- after rebalance which break our client normal fops unexpectedly. Any one known this issue?

hi all, I accidentally removed the brick directory of a volume on one node, the replica for this volume is 2. now the situation is , there is no corresponding glusterfsd process on this node, and 'glusterfs volume status' shows that the brick is offline, like this: Brick 192.168.64.11:/opt/gluster_data/eccp_glance N/A Y 2513 Brick 192.168.64.12:/opt/gluster_data/eccp_glance

Hi All, 3.4.0 and 3.3.2 releases of GlusterFS are now available. GlusterFS 3.4.0 can be downloaded from [1] and release notes are available at [2]. Upgrade instructions can be found at [3]. If you would like to propose bug fix candidates or minor features for inclusion in 3.4.1, please add them at [4]. 3.3.2 packages can be downloaded from [5]. A big note of thanks to everyone who helped in

Hi, We recently installed glusterfs 3.3.1. We have a 3 brick gluster system running that was being successfully mounted earlier. Yesterday we experienced a power outage and now after rebooting our systems, we are unable to mount this gluster file system. On the gluster client, a df -h command shows 41TB out of 55TB, while an ls command shows broken links for directories and missing files.

Hello! I have GlusterFS installation with parameters: - 4 servers, connected by 1Gbit/s network (760-800 Mbit/s by iperf) - Distributed-replicated volume with 4 bricks and 2x4 redundancy formula. - Replicated volume with 2 bricks and 2x2 formula. I found some trouble: if I try to copy huge amount of files (94000 files, 3Gb size), this process takes terribly long time (from 20 to 40 minutes). I

Hi All, When reading some files we get this error: md5sum: /path/to/file.xml: Structure needs cleaning in /var/log/glusterfs/mnt-sharedfs.log we see these errors: [2013-12-10 08:07:32.256910] W [client-rpc-fops.c:526:client3_3_stat_cbk] 1-testvolume-client-0: remote operation failed: No such file or directory [2013-12-10 08:07:32.257436] W [client-rpc-fops.c:526:client3_3_stat_cbk]

Hello, I've removed a volume and I can't re-create it : gluster volume create gluster-export gluster-6:/export gluster-5:/export gluster-4:/export gluster-3:/export /export or a prefix of it is already part of a volume I've formatted the partition and reinstalled the 4 gluster servers and the error still appears. Any idea ? Thanks. -- -------------- next part --------------

Hello I have two peers setup and working with x2 bricks each. They have been working via tcp for the last 4-5 months. I just got two Infiniband cards and put the on the peers. I want to change the transport type to rdma instead of tcp but I don't see an easy way to do this. Can you please help me with proper instructions. Best Regards Ivan Dimitrov

We are about to abandon GlusterFS as a solution for our object storage needs. I'm hoping to get some feedback to tell me whether we have missed something and are making the wrong decision. We're already a year into this project after evaluating a number of solutions. I'd like not to abandon GlusterFS if we just misunderstand how it works. Our use case is fairly straight forward.

Hello, I've found GlusterFS to be an interesting project. Not so much experience of it (although from similar usecases with DRBD+NFS setups) so I setup some testcase to try out failover and recovery. For this I have a setup with two glusterfs servers (each is a VM) and one client (also a VM). I'm using GlusterFS 3.4 btw. The servers manages a gluster volume created as: gluster volume

Hi, I have a 2-node replica volume running with GlusterFS 3.3.2 on Centos 6.4. I want to shut down one of the gluster servers for maintenance. Any best practice that is to be followed while turning off a server in terms of services etc. Or can I just shut down the server. ?

Hello, I have what I think is a fairly basic Gluster setup, however when I try to carry out a replace-brick operation it consistently fails...

Hi list, I'm planning to setup a two-node "cluster" with file replication and samba. I've used drbd in the past with success, but now there isn't drbd on the official repo but only from elrepo. I want follow centos Line and than switch to GlusterFS. Said that, I'm new to GlusterFS. I have two hosts with a 2tb disk space for replica. I've ridden that glusterfs is

Hi guys, I have configured gluster fs in replication mode in two ubuntu servers. Windows users use samba sharing to access the mounted volume. Basically my setup is that client machines on each site connect to its local file server so it has the fattest connection. Two files servers are connected via VPN tunnel which has really high bandwidth Right now it is very slow to write files to the
