You have to export a namespace vol somewhere. I put it on an existing brick this is my spec file for that brick:
### Export volume "brick" with the contents of "/home/export" directory.
volume posix2
type storage/posix # POSIX FS translator
option directory /mnt/export # Export this directory
end-volume
volume io-threads
type performance/io-threads
option thread-count 1
subvolumes posix2
end-volume
### Add POSIX record locking support to the storage brick
volume brick
type features/posix-locks
option mandatory on # enables mandatory locking on all files
subvolumes io-threads
end-volume
### Add network serving capability to above brick.
volume server
type protocol/server
option transport-type tcp/server # For TCP/IP transport
option listen-port 6996 # Default is 6996
subvolumes brick
option auth.ip.brick.allow * # Allow access to "brick" volume
end-volume
volume posix3
type storage/posix
option directory /mnt/namespace
end-volume
volume io-threads1
type performance/io-threads
option thread-count 1
subvolumes posix3
end-volume
volume brick-ns
type features/posix-locks
option mandatory on
subvolumes io-threads1
end-volume
volume server
type protocol/server
option transport-type tcp/server
option listen-port 6997
subvolumes brick-ns
option auth.ip.brick-ns.allow *
end-volume
Then in the client specify the nameserver vol as a client and use that client in the unify volume:
volume client-ns
type protocol/client
option transport-type tcp/client # for TCP/IP transport
option remote-host 10.255.57.171 # IP address of the remote brick
option remote-port 6997 # default server port is 6996
option remote-subvolume brick-ns # name of the remote volume
end-volume
volume bricks
type cluster/unify
option namespace client-ns # this will not be storage child of unify.
subvolumes client1 client2
etc.

Subject: cluster/unify "option namespace <node>" - self healing feature?
Anyone have any more info on the new "option namespace <node>" in the unify
xlator.
bulde wrote some new docs today, but it didn't really answer my question as
what
<node> is supose to be. It seems to have broken my setup.
Is it supose to be an existing volume?
is it supose to be "namespace-child"?
is it supose to be ????
i tried all of them, but nothing seems to work, and glusterfs seems to exit
without it set.
