I'm asking a lot of questions--sorry about that. I have a cluster setup with most of the nodes having two NICs, one for a local network running over an internal GigE switch and the other to our institutional network (also GigE). I have configured four bricks to run in unify on the internal network. The resulting file system is mounted on each node via the local network: volume remote1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.8.104 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume remote2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.8.102 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume ..... volume unify0 type cluster/unify option scheduler rr # round robin option namespace remote-ns #option block-size *:1MB subvolumes remote1 remote2 remote3 remote4 end-volume I have a second set of machines that are not on the internal network but communicate over the institutional network. I have modified the client configuration to use the IP addresses for the institutional network for each of the bricks. However, when I try to mount the file system using this configuration, I get this in the glusterfs.log. 2008-12-10 13:22:32 W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] remote2: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(34) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] remote2: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN 2008-12-10 13:22:32 W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] remote3: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(34) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] remote3: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN 2008-12-10 13:22:32 W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] remote4: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(34) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] remote4: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN 2008-12-10 13:22:32 W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] remote-ns: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(34) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] remote-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [fuse-bridge.c:468:fuse_entry_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 6: (34) / => -1 (2) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] remote2: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(34) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] remote2: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN 2008-12-10 13:22:32 W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] remote3: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(34) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] remote3: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN 2008-12-10 13:22:32 W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] remote4: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(34) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] remote4: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN 2008-12-10 13:22:32 W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] remote-ns: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(34) 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] remote-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN 2008-12-10 13:22:32 E [fuse-bridge.c:468:fuse_entry_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 6: (34) / => -1 (2) Any suggestions as to what is going on? I didn't an answer to this anywhere in the docs and google came up pretty dry, also. Thanks again, Sean
