Emmanuel, The assumption of EA being enabled in / filesystem or any prefix of brick path is an accidental side-effect of the way glusterd_is_path_in_use() is used in glusterd_brick_create_path(). The error handling should be accommodative to ENOTSUP. In short it is a bug. Will send out a patch immediately. thanks, krish ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emmanuel Dreyfus" <manu@xxxxxxxxxx> To: gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 11:06:02 AM Subject: 3.3 requires extended attribute on / On release-3.3, glusterd_is_path_in_use() in xlators/mgmt/glusterd/src/glusterd-utils.c seems to assume that / has extended attribute enabled, and makes it impossible to create a volume with bricks from other filesystems (with EA enabled), if / does not support extended attributes.
