Before I ask for help, I have read the thread below, http://www.mail-archive.com/gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxx/msg00455.html I'm using the latest glusterfs-1.3.0-pre2.3 code on centos with fuse-2.6.3 ( and fuse-2.6.3-rhel-build.patch ) and the OS is Cent-4.4. I use the "stripe" translator , but when I copy a testfile i get an error below, and lost mount point. the log ( at server side ) is [Apr 30 17:38:53] [ERROR/common-utils.c:54/full_rw()] libglusterfs:full_rw: 0 bytes r/w instead of 113 Here are my configurations. # server 1 volume brick type storage/posix option directory /zoo/gfs1 end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp/server option listen-port 20000 option bind-address 192.168.1.211 subvolumes brick option auth.ip.brick.allow * end-volume volume trace type debug/trace subvolumes server option debug on end-volume # server2 volume brick type storage/posix option directory /zoo/gfs2 end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp/server option listen-port 20000 option bind-address 192.168.1.212 subvolumes brick option auth.ip.brick.allow * end-volume volume trace type debug/trace subvolumes server option debug on end-volume [client] volume server1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.211 option remote-port 20000 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume server2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.1.212 option remote-port 20000 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume stripe type cluster/stripe subvolumes client1 client2 option stripe-size 131072 # 128k end-volume volume trace type debug/trace subvolumes stripe option debug on end-volume # to start glusterfsd server [root@s01 zoo]# ./sbin/glusterfsd -f /zoo/server1 [root@s02 zoo]# ./sbin/glusterfsd -f /zoo/server2 # to start glusterfs client [root@c01 zoo]# ./sbin/glusterfs -f /zoo/test.vol /zoo/qoo [root@c01 zoo]# cp testfile ./qoo/ cp: writing `./qoo/testfile': Software caused connection abort cp: closing `./qoo/testfile': Transport endpoint is not connected Thanks for your help.
