I've been trying for ages to get afr to work, but somethings either broken, or I'm just not 'getting it'... I'm running glusterfs 1.3.0-pre2 on RHEL 4 At the moment, I'm just trying to get two instances of glusterdfsd running on the same server, with the directories /home/jad/gluster/cfs0 and cfs1 respectively. If I understand things correctly (and it's quite possible I'm not understanding properly), the following configuration should mean that any file I create in the glusterfs directory should appear in both cfs0 and cfs1, due to the replicate option. Configuration for first glusterdfs: volume brick type storage/posix option directory /home/jad/gluster/cfs0 end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp/server option bind-address 127.0.0.1 option listen-port 6996 subvolumes brick option auth.ip.brick.allow * end-volume Configuration for second glusterdfs: volume brick type storage/posix option directory /home/jad/gluster/cfs1 end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp/server option bind-address 127.0.0.1 option listen-port 6997 subvolumes brick option auth.ip.brick.allow * end-volume Configuration for glusterfs mounting: volume brick type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 127.0.0.1 option remote-port 6996 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume brick-afr type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 127.0.0.1 option report-port 6997 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume afr type cluster/afr subvolumes brick brick-afr option replicate *:2 end-volume First instance of glusterdfs run with: glusterfsd -f /home/jad/gluster/server0.vol Second instance: glusterfsd -f /home/jad/gluster/server1.vol glusterfs mount run with: glusterfs -f ./client.vol glusterfs What I'm finding however, is that if I do a 'touch glusterfs/foo.bar', the file is appearing in cfs0, but not in cfs1, which seems to me means that gluster is ignoring my 'option replicate *:2' entry in the afr volume. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong??? James
