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 --------------

Greetings, One of the best things I've seen at conferences this year has been a bookmark distributed by the RDO folks with most common and/or useful commands for OpenStack users. Some people at Red Hat were wondering about doing the same for Gluster, and I thought it would be a great idea. Paul Cuzner, the author of the gluster-deploy project, took a first cut, pasted below. What do you

Hi all, I am trying to follow the instructions from the Quick Start guide, but I am running into problems when issuing the following command: mkfs.xfs -i size=512 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory If I create the sdb1 folder in the /dev folder I get the following error when issuing the mkfs.xfs command mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/sdb1: Is a directory Any assistance would be most

Hi, I am using gluster 3.3.1 on Centos 6, installed from the glusterfs-3.3.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm rpms. I am seeing the Committed_AS memory continually increasing and the processes using the memory are glusterfsd instances. see http://imgur.com/K3dalTW for graph. Both nodes are exhibiting the same behaviour, I have tried the suggested echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches but it made no

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.

I'm hitting the 'cannot find stripe size' bug: [2013-04-29 17:42:24.508332] E [stripe-helpers.c:268:stripe_ctx_handle] 0-gv0-stripe-0: Failed to get stripe-size [2013-04-29 17:42:24.513013] W [fuse-bridge.c:968:fuse_err_cbk] 0-glusterfs-fuse: 867: FSYNC() ERR => -1 (Invalid argument) Is there a fix for this in 3.3.1 or do we need to move to git HEAD to make this work?

Hello Gluster users: sorry for long post, I have run out of ideas here, kindly let me know if i am looking at right places for logs and any suggested actions.....thanks a sudden power loss casued hard reboot - now the volume does not start Glusterfs- 3.3.1 on Centos 6.1 transport: TCP sharing volume over NFS for VM storage - VHD Files Type: distributed - only 1 node (brick) XFS (LVM)

Hi, When I upload files into the gluster volume, it replicates all the files to both gluster nodes. But the file size slightly varies by (4-10KB), which changes the md5sum of the file. Command to check file size : du -k *. I'm using glusterFS 3.3.1 with Centos 6.4 This is creating inconsistency between the files on both the bricks. ? What is the reason for this changed file size and how can

Hi, I'm running GlusterFS 3.3.2 and I'm having trouble getting geo-replication to work. I think it is a problem with extended attributes. I'll using ssh with a normal user to perform the replication. On the server log in /var/log/glusterfs/geo-replication/VOLNAME/ssh?.log I'm getting an error "ReceClient: call ?:?:? (xtime) failed on peer with OSError". On the

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. ?

It's that time again ? we want to test the GlusterFS 3.4 beta before we unleash it on the world. Like our last test fest, we want you to put the latest GlusterFS beta through real-world usage scenarios that will show you how it compares to previous releases. Unlike the last time, we want to focus this round of testing on Infiniband and RDMA hardware. For a description of how to do this, see

Hi All, I'm setting up a gluster cluster that will be accessed via smb. I was hoping that the quotas.

Hi, We have a problem with glusterFS. We are using it on Centos 5 machine with OpenVZ kernel. Gluster daemon and gluster clients run on the host, not in the container. Recently we noticed a problem when we upgraded the OpenVZ kernel. After the upgrade there are strange errors in case of accessing the gluster volume. There are a few folders that can't be seen with 'ls' but if you

Gluster-Users, We currently have a 30 node Gluster Distributed-Replicate 15 x 2 filesystem. Each node has a ~20TB xfs filesystem mounted to /data and the bricks live on /data/brick. We have been very happy with this setup, but are now collecting more data that doesn't need to be replicated because it can be easily regenerated. Most of the data lives on our replicated volume and is
