Hello I want to use GlusterFS as a nfs substitute for a FreeBSD Server and Linux clients. The FreeBSD-server should export several directories. One of these directories contains the home-directory for the client-mashines. The problem is that my GlusterFS setup isn't very stable and crashes quite often. It is less stable, when more than one volume is mounted, but even when only one volume is mountet it isn't stable at all. I've tried some different configurations, but now i'm running out if ideas. I hope you can help me. my server: FreeBSD laverne.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de 7.1-RELEASE amd64 I've testet some glusterfs-releases, beginning with Glusterfs 1.4x. I'm now using glusterfs2.0.0rc4 (also testet with rc2, it's still the same) How Glusterfs was build: support packages: bison-2.3_4,1, fusefs-kmod-0.3.9.p1.20080208_4, fusefs-libs-2.7.3 i've used glusterfs-2.0.0rc4: > export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -liconv" > export CFLAGS="-O0 -g -DDEBUG -I/usr/local/include/" > ./configure > make install clean server-vol-file: http://www.physik.tu-berlin.de/~frendor/glusterfs/new_glusterfs_server.vol > volume homeklein-dir > type storage/posix # POSIX FS translator > option directory /scratch/export2/home # Export this directory > end-volume > > volume homeklein > type features/locks > subvolumes homeklein-dir > end-volume > > volume server > type protocol/server > option transport-type tcp/server # For TCP/IP transport > # option transport-type tcp # For TCP/IP transport > subvolumes homeklein > # option auth.addr.lscratch.allow 130.149.58.* # Allow access to "export" volume > option auth.addr.homeklein.allow 130.149.58.* # Allow access to "export" volume > # option auth.addr.lcompile.allow 130.149.58.* # Allow access to "export" volume > end-volume client: Linux 2.6.27-11-generic i686 GNU/Linux (it's a Ubuntu 8.10) Glusterfs: packages: libfuse2, fuse-utils it was build as a package with flex, byacc, fakeroot, dh-make from the source glusterfs2.0.0rc4 client-vol-file: http://www.physik.tu-berlin.de/~frendor/glusterfs/new_glusterfs_client_laverne.vol > volume homeklein-dir > type storage/posix # POSIX FS translator > option directory /scratch/export2/home # Export this directory > end-volume > > volume homeklein > type features/locks > subvolumes homeklein-dir > end-volume > > volume server > type protocol/server > option transport-type tcp/server # For TCP/IP transport > # option transport-type tcp # For TCP/IP transport > subvolumes homeklein > # option auth.addr.lscratch.allow 130.149.58.* # Allow access to "export" volume > option auth.addr.homeklein.allow 130.149.58.* # Allow access to "export" volume > # option auth.addr.lcompile.allow 130.149.58.* # Allow access to "export" volume > end-volume some logfiles: I've got 2 sets of logfiles at http://www.physik.tu-berlin.de/~frendor/glusterfs The first logfile documents a crash, without any error notification. I've made some read&write-tests with a client with bonnie++ and read some mails at another client. serverside: http://www.physik.tu-berlin.de/~frendor/glusterfs/glusterfsd.log (73MB) http://www.physik.tu-berlin.de/~frendor/glusterfs/glusterfsd_cut.log (shortend to 1 MB) clientside: http://www.physik.tu-berlin.de/~frendor/glusterfs/glusterfs_client.log the second one was when i shutdown the clients. nothing special was performed.
