Hi, Has anyone even seen this before - an NFS mount through Gluster that gets the filesystem size wrong and is otherwise garbled and dangerous? Is there a way within Gluster to fix it, or is the lesson that Gluster's NFS sometimes can't be relied on? What have the experiences been running an external NFS daemon with Gluster? Is that fairly straightforward? Might like to get the

Hi all, I'm very happy to see the release of 3.3.0. One of the features I was waiting for are striped replicated volumes. We plan to store KVM images (from a OpenStack installation) on it. I read through the docs and found the following phrase: "In this release, configuration of this volume type is supported only for Map Reduce workloads." What does that mean exactly? Hopefully not,

hi! http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.2/3.2.1/Ubuntu/glusterfs_3.2.1-1_amd64.deb Which version of Ubuntu was it built for? Maybe it can be used for any version of it? Are the build script available for download? Thank you, tamas

Hi all, I've been trying out Gluster Platform, so some info will be from the management interface. If additional data from logs is required, please let me know which logfiles. When using a Gluster NFS volume as a ESXi datastore, creation of a disk file (vmdk) takes a considerable amount of time (with unfsd using 10-50% cpu) and then crashes unfsd. A reboot of the system seems necessary to

Hi, We've got a system where staff use Samba mounts on their Windows desktops to drop files into a Linux directory for further processing. Some of those files are large, and take time for the file copy across Samba to complete. The problem is that looking at the directory from the Linux side, to see if there are new files to process, the directory listing for the files-copied-across-by-Samba

Hi, We've got a fresh CentOS 5.4 box, and the only glitch so far is that /etc/init.d/smb doesn't start smbd. It claims it does - shows "[ok]" - but only nmbd ends up running. Even setting a higher debugging level in the smbd flags, nothing logs or shows on the console as to why smbd is immediatly quitting. To make it stranger, doing this works fine: . /etc/init.d/functions

Hi, Netperf tells me that a KVM VM using a bridged connection to a system across the Gigabit LAN sees on average about 1/10th of the bandwidth the host sees. This is on very lightly loaded hosts, although with multiple low-use VMs. I've tried adjusting the CPU throttling after seeing that mentioned as a possible factor in slowing down a bridge, but it has not much if any effect here. Is

Hi, Not sure if this is the right mailing list, but... I have a Linux VM (CentOS 5.4) VM. ?I cloned it with virt-clone, but the clone isn't bootable. ?When I attempt to boot it says: ? Booting from hard diskBoot failed: not a bootable diskFATAL: No bootable device The clone was made with the following command: virt-clone -o centos -n centosclone -f /path/to/new/image.img I've attempted it

Can someone tell me what concept I''m missing here. The setup is simple. I have two default routes after ifup operations. I use "ip route del" to remove one, but then decide to add it back. The attempt is refused. Why? # ip route ls 66.95.83.208/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 66.95.83.210 65.84.205.96/27 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 65.84.205.104

Hi, Trying to follow the recipe at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Cacti_on_CentOS_4.x Which has a bit of an update for 5.x, but no joy. Anyone know what this from Cacti should suggest?

Hi all, I am trying to run a web-based PHP application on a CentOS 5 32-bit machine that requires me to upload large files. The machine also happens to have little RAM (256MB). I have no problem setting my upload limit ( upload_max_filesize ) to 1 GB but for some reason 2 GB or above seems to be no go. Would anybody know why? Could it be one of the many 32-bit vs 64-bit issues? Thanks. Boris.

Hi all, I am trying to install a version of Libvirt that will be compatible with qemu-kvm-1.1 but I cannot seem to get Libvirt to compile. During the make portion of the install I get the following error: ... make[4]: Entering directory `/home/shawn/libvirt-0.10.0/docs' Generating 404.html.tmp /bin/bash: line 5: 59204 Segmentation fault /usr/bin/xsltproc --stringparam pagename $name

Hello, I have a Compaq Proliant i850R, running RedHat 7.1. There are 3 NICs attached to it, 2 eepro100, and 1 ThunderLAN driver v1.14a. This box is being prepped to be a download server. GOAL: Requests are sent to each NIC via seperate IP addresses. All 3 are on the same subnet. All requests are load balanced via a DNS server. We want all requests to exit the same NIC that they entered. PROBLEM:

Hello everybody. I have a problem setting up gluster failover funcionality. Based on manual i setup ucarp which is working well ( tested with ping/ssh etc ) But when i use virtual address for gluster volume mount and i turn off one of nodes machine/gluster will freeze until node is back online. My virtual ip is 3.200 and machine real ip is 3.233 and 3.5. In gluster log i can see: [2011-06-06

Hi, Today I was trying to start a node using libvirt on ESX (esxi-5.1) hypervisor and I got the following error message: *virsh # define /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *Domain testNode defined from /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *virsh # start testNode* *error: Failed to start domain testNode* *error: internal error: Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault - Cannot open the disk

Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I am little confused here. How to add volume on my esx server using virsh? I did SCP and copied my vmdk image to [datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk and also modified my xml file as you suggested. Now when I tried starting the node it gave me an error message saying: "error: Failed to start testNode error: internal error: Could not start domain:

Hi, Is virsh able to access the VMX config of a virtual machine running on a esxi host? I would like to take backups of my virtual machine configs and the doku section "Converting from VMware VMX config to domain XML config" (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html) comes close to this - but does not tell how to get access to the vmx file. I would prefer a solution where ssh access to the

Our Environment is - 4 node supermicro server (each 50TB, NL SAS 4TB used, LSI 9260-8i) - Totally 100TB service volume - 10G Storage Network and Service

I have a single storage server which exports /data to number of clients. Is it ok to access the data on the storage server directly (ie not via glusterfs mount) ? (I know this causes problems when there are multiple servers ). This would simplify some configurations. Nick

Dear community, I have a 2-node gluster cluster with one replicated volume shared to a client via NFS. If the replication link (Ethernet crossover cable) between the Gluster nodes breaks, I discovered that my whole storage is not available anymore. I am using Pacemaker/corosync with two virtual IPs (service IPs exposed to the clients), so each node has its corresponding virtual IP, and
