[Gluster-users] extended attributes of the backend file systemquestion

[eagleeyes at 126.com (eagleeyes)]

  So, i should  modify the /etc/fstab on GFS server like this :
    
LABEL=/data               /data                 ext3     defaults,user_xattr       1 2  

  right?   got rid of "acl"

GlusterFS needs extended attribute in 'trusted.xxxxx' domain, hence the user_xattr should not matter. Also, we have disabled 'acl' support as of now, as it had some bugs which showed up if we enable it. 

The posix translator (the one which exports the backend directory to glusterfs/fuse) has a check to verify extended attributes. If its not supported, it will fail to initiate. So, if your glusterfsd process starts fine, that means you can use replicate in glusterfs.

Hello 
   If i use Replicate ,it is requiring extended attributes of the backend file system so i  modified /etc/fstab 
   LABEL=/data               /data                 ext3     defaults,user_xattr,acl        1 2  
   Is this right ? How  can i validate it ? 

   Thanks
