The problem is with the glusterfsd.service systemd unit, it does nothing and will always fail to start because it isn't given a volfile. glusterd.service depends on glusterfsd.service, and thus fails to start as glusterfsd fails to start. The fedora packages need to be rebuilt without glusterfsd.service. For the time being, if you absolutely want to use systemd to start glusterd, edit the /usr/lib/systemd/system/glusterd.service file and remove the 'Wants=glusterfsd.service' line. Or you could just start glusterd directly. -Kaushal On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 6:58 PM, Sahina Bose <sabose@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > Could someone help?
