Hi all: I am trying out glusterfs 1.3.1 (from the download page), for the first time. It compiled and installed fine. I am running a simple configuration of one client and one brick, using the supplied example /etc/glusterfs vol files (just changed the address in the client's vol file), and seems to run on the server. When I try to run it on the client, it immediately fails with the message: glusterfs: could not open specfile On the client's log file, I am seeing: 2007-09-06 23:15:04 E [protocol.c:253:gf_block_unserialize_transport] trans: EOF from peer (192.168.1.225:6996) On the server's log file, I am seeing: 2007-09-06 23:14:39 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-09-06 23:14:39 E [server-protocol.c:197:generic_reply] server: transport_writev failed I can ping, and ssh between the two hosts. I have disabled iptables and ip6tables on the server and client. So, I assume that I am missing something basic here, but don't know where to start looking. Any suggestions? thanks, Paul Jochum
