Hi! I have been playing around with GlusterFS for a while (with strong intend to use in production, and use it soon -- if only I get AFR healing to work). General impression: wow, it's /impressive/! It's so configurable, so stackable -- building complicated configurations doesn't look like an issue :) But for a glusterfs-still-newbie like me there are some problems here and there: Why glusterfsd (server) needs to be run as root? If I run it from non-root users it fails silently (well, this silence is definitely a bug, isn't it?) When I run glusterfs (client) as non-root, it does at least report: gf_log_init: failed to open logfile "/tmp/var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log" (Permission denied) failed to open logfile /tmp/var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log. exiting Well, but one of most pleasant benefits of FUSE is the ability to mount filesystem as non-root... Additionally, when I run glusterfs as root but forget to pass a mountpoint or pass relative path to mountpoint -- this time it fails silently. It's log doesn't contain any entry I would take as explanation :) great work -- keep going! regards, Piotr Findeisen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
