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. Hi, Well, I'm working forward on these things and getting further along, however.... I managed to get everything under control on one machine, but the same routine on the other side did nothing more then setup a similar structure. Although the machines have connectivity, according to their logs and the --debug flag, I don't see anything propagating from one side to the other. I have this: Machine 1 /a/tmp /a/mnt both have about 160 MB Machine 2 /a/tmp /a/mnt both are empty This is my afr.vol file on both machines. Should it differ in any way? That is, should my definitions of machine 1 or machine 2 or the order anywhere be reversed? volume posix type storage/posix option directory /var/asl/freenas end-volume volume brick type features/locks subvolumes posix end-volume volume machine01 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp option remote-host 10.1.1.1 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume machine02 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp option remote-host 10.1.1.2 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume home type cluster/afr option read-subvolume `hostname` subvolumes machine01 machine02 end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp subvolumes brick home option auth.addr.home.allow * option auth.addr.brick.allow * end-volume Thank you, P.
