Hi Paul, make sure you have '/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol' file in the server. That should eliminate the problem. And also, if your client file is different in server give 'option client-volume-filename /path/to/specfile.vol' for protocol/server volume. Or, if it is ok for you to put the client spec file in the client machine, then give '-f /path/to/specfile.vol' to glusterfs command line. Hi Jacques, '-f' and '-s' option are exclusive. You need not give -s if '-f pathname' option is given.
