Hi Paul, Can you please run "ldconfig" and freshly compile glusterfs again. Please send us the output of "configure --prefix=" and config.log. If you look at the configure output, it will tell you if it detected fuse correctly. Also run updatedb and locate fuse.so. See where it is. Notes for others: Previously glusterfs server and client code were separate. Client depended on fuse. Now that both server and client have merged into one and there are other ways to access the file system directly bypassing the kernel (like apache client), compiling fuse is optional. But I think we should make fuse as mandatory unless user passes --disable-fuse-client explicitly. Most of the GlusterFS users will require fuse client. This will avoid fuse confusion.

I've tried starting a basic setup again, though still no success.

First create /mnt/glusterfs and then try mounting it to that directory. Also, I'd expect glusterfs to log something like that, even if it doesn't throw an error when you tried to mount it. Check the gluster logs (and /var/log/messages) for any errors. I think by default they are in /var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Pinoy Hatdog [mailto:pinoy.hatdog at gmail.com <mailto:pinoy.hatdog at gmail.com>] > *Sent:* Sunday, June 08, 2008 1:13 AM > *To:* Christopher Hawkins > *Subject:* Re: GlusterFS startup problems > > Hello Christopher, > > Thanks for the quick response. After following your instructions, I was able to find the executable in the /usr/sbin/ folder. So what I did was to try to start a basic setup based on the instructions on the *Install and run GlusterFS v1.3 in 10mins > <http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Install_and_run_GlusterFS_v1.3_in_10mins>* page. I made the corresponding volume spec file for both the server and client, and then ran the following command on the server (just an addition, iptables have already been disabled beforehand): > * > * > *#* /usr/sbin/glusterfsd -f > /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol > > And the following command on the client:* > > * > *#* /usr/sbin/glusterfs -f > /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /mnt/glusterfs > > After I executed the GlusterFS startup commands on the server and client terminals, I received no messages, so I understood that it had indeed started successfully. However, when I checked on the client terminal to see if there indeed was a /mnt/glusterfs directory, I was not able to find any. > > -Paul > > > On Sun, Jun 8, 2008 at 11:50 AM, Christopher Hawkins <chawkins at bplinux.com <mailto:chawkins at bplinux.com>> wrote: > > If you run 'updatedb' and then 'locate glusterfs', does it find the executable?
