Jordi,
Do you have any firewall running on machines?

Hi Jordi,
Have you started glusterfsd on each of the newly added nodes?
If not, please start them.

Hi,
i've got 6 nodes providing a storage unit with gluster 2.5
patch
800. They are set in 2 groups of 3 nodes each.
On top of that, i've got a Xen 3.2 machine storing its virtual
machines in gluster mount point.
The thing is that i used to have only 2 nodes for group,
that's 4
nodes in total, and today I'm trying to add 1 extra node
for each
group.
This is the final setting on Xen's Side:

so... i stopped all virtual machines, unmounted gluster on Xen,
updated the spec file (the one above) and ran gluster again
in Xen.
I've set different gluster environments but i had never tried
this, and now i'm facing some problems.
For what i had read before this... i used to think that when
adding and extra node to a group and "remounting" on client's
side, the Healing feature would copy all the content of the
other
nodes already present in the group to the "new one". That
hasn't
happened, even when I've tried to force the file system, by
listing the files or doing what you suggest in you
documentation:
**********
find /mnt/glusterfs -type f -print0 | xargs -0 head -c1
>/dev/null
**********
so... my first question would be... does "self-healing"
work this
way? If it doesn't.... which is the best way to add a node to a
group? Do i have to run a "copy" command manually to get
the new
node ready?
I've also noticed that i have necessarily to umount gluster
from
Xen. Is there a way to avoid stopping all the virtual machines,
umounting and mounting again? Is there a feature like "refresh
config file"?
Hot add ("refresh config file") is in the roadmap.
And finally... i looked into the logs to see why self-healing
wasn't working, and i found this on Xen's Side:
**********
2008-12-17 12:08:30 E [tcp-client.c:190:tcp_connect] espai6:
non-blocking connect() returned: 111 (Connection refused)
**********
and it keeps saying this when i want to access files which
were
created in the "old nodes".
is this a bug? how can i work around this?
If i create new stuff, though, it replicates to the 3 nodes, no
problem with that.... the only problem is with the old
files that
were already present before i added the new node.
Thanks for your help in advance, and let me know if you
need any
further information.

hi, yes.
when gluster behaves like this, all nodes are running. As i said,
when you create new data, it replicates to all the nodes of each
group, so it's working fine.
However, it keeps logging "connection refused", which i though was
reported only when a node wasn't available, but they are all
available and replicating data fine.
The thing, though, is that old data is not beeing replicated into
the new nodes?
Is there any way to "force" replication to the new nodes? Could i
be getting somehow the "connection refused" because new nodes
won't accept previous data?
Thanks for your help.

hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now
Well.... sorry for having you bothered about this, i found what the
problem was in the end.
I got mixed up with a couple of things:
-On the one hand, in .vol file in Xen there was a mistake, one node was
declared with a wrong ip address, so it was giving the "connection
refused" status. I didn't pay enough attention to all 6 nodes, and 5
were replicating OK and i missed the one it wasn't and i thought that
they were all working fine.
-On the other hand, old data was not replicated to the new nodes because
i didn't set the attributes to "trusted gluster" when adding new nodes.
Now all the data appears fine in all nodes.
Sorry for that and thanks for your help and patience :)
