Any help here would be appreciated. I am trying to use a glusterfs share
to run email (IMAP). I am using postfix for the mail server and dovecot
for clients. I have 2 server accessing the same share, 1 server has the
mail server with dovecot for regular mail clients. Server 2 has dovecot
for webmail. If an email arrives, server 1 prosses and writes it. If
server 2 as client accesses it, it works ok. If server 1 client tries to
access the ame message, it can not access it. If I login to terminal, try
to ls or cat the file, I get "No such file or directory". If I restart
the share by doing a umount then mount (share is setup in fstab), all of
the sudden I can access the file again no problem.
The standard questions here are:
1) What version of GlusterFS are you using?
2) What version of Fuse are you using?
From what I've seen on the list, most problems of thi ssort tend to be
people using a stock fuse, not the GlusterFS supplied patched one in the
downloads section of the site.
My specific question is: Why are you using Unify when it looks like
there's only one data source (GlusterFS server)? Unify is only required
when there's multiple GlusterFS servers that have partial file sets that
need to be combined (that's the purpose of Unify).
You might want to try stripping the performance translators and adding
them back one by one until you find the problem. The simplest set that
is functionally the same to what you posted before should be something
like this:
Server:
volume mail
type storage/posix
option directory /data/mail
end-volume
volume posix-locks-mail
type features/posix-locks
option mandatory on
subvolumes mail
end-volume
volume server
type protocol/server
subvolumes posix-locks-mail
option transport-type tcp/server # For TCP/IP transport
option auth.ip.ns-mail.allow 192.168.*
option auth.ip.ra-mail.allow 192.168.*
end-volume
Client config:
volume mail
type protocol/client
option transport-type tcp/client
option remote-host 192.168.250.1
option remote-subvolume posix-locks-mail
end-volume
