Hi, I have installed gluster and (UFO) swift on a 12 node virtual cluster. http://www.gluster.org/2012/09/howto-using-ufo-swift-a-quick-and-dirty-setup-guide/ I have installed the UFO component on all bricks. My problem is that I can create directories or UFO containers fine but I cannot create files. I am mounting the gluster vol with: mount -t glusterfs cheese25:/gv0 /mnt the bricks are mounted with: /dev/vdb on /vdb type ext4 (rw,user_xattr) [root@cheese25 ~]# gluster volume info Volume Name: gv0 Type: Distributed-Replicate Volume ID: 0aecad7b-d556-406b-afbe-8884f649f433 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 6 x 2 = 12 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: cheese25:/vdb Brick2: cheese26:/vdb Brick3: cheese27:/vdb Brick4: cheese28:/vdb Brick5: cheese29:/vdb Brick6: cheese30:/vdb Brick7: cheese31:/vdb Brick8: cheese32:/vdb Brick9: cheese33:/vdb Brick10: cheese34:/vdb Brick11: cheese35:/vdb Brick12: cheese36:/vdb Thanks, Andrew
