Hi, Nothing. I tried the move /a/foo to /a/tmp. I then tar'd it back. Nothing on the other side. The two machines say that they have a working handshake and they are connected. Is there something better than just --debug? Should I truss the process? Thank you, P. OK, further information. I mounted the empty directory /a/foo. I then started up glusterfsd -f simpleafr /mnt/foo --debug At that point, I tar'd everything into the directory. Things started flying by in the logs as each file was loaded into /mnt/foo. They nicely appeared in /a/foo. I'm assuming this is information is now under gluster control, correct? Now, how do I get the replication between servers to work? Should I use the same command line to get the information on the other side? That is, mounting the /a/foo directory through FUSE onto /mnt/foo? This seems to be where I should be going, but this is not as simple as I, initially, thought. P.
