Greetings, I was looking into gluster as a potential replacement for the current inotify/rsync solution I currently have in place for replicating files. I followed the client/server config instructions on the gluster.com site using the glusterfs-volgen instructions. The configuration is two servers in a mirrored setup. Here was the command used: /usr/bin/glusterfs-volgen --raid 1 --cache-size 512MB --export-directory /sites --name sites1 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2 I was trying to setup both servers as gluster servers and clients. /etc/init.d/gulsterfsd start works fine with no errors. When I try to mount via this command: mount -t glusterfs 172.16.0.2 /sites I get this error (email continued below): [2009-11-13 13:41:20] W [socket.c:1391:socket_init] trans: disabling non-blocking IO [2009-11-13 13:41:20] W [socket.c:1391:socket_init] trans: disabling non-blocking IO ================================================================================ Version : glusterfs 2.0.8 built on Nov 13 2009 13:14:59 git: v2.0.8 Starting Time: 2009-11-13 13:41:20 Command line : /usr/sbin/glusterfs --log-level=NORMAL --volfile-server-port=6996 --volfile-server=172.16.0.2 /sites PID : 6367 System name : Linux Kernel Release : 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 Hardware Identifier: x86_64 Given volfile: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1: ## file auto generated by /usr/bin/glusterfs-volgen (mount.vol) 2: # Cmd line: 3: # $ /usr/bin/glusterfs-volgen --raid 1 --cache-size 512MB --export-directory /sites --name sites1 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2 4: 5: # RAID 1 6: # TRANSPORT-TYPE tcp 7: # PORT 6996 8: 9: volume 172.16.0.1 10: type protocol/client 11: option transport-type tcp 12: option remote-host 172.16.0.1 13: option remote-port 6996 14: option remote-subvolume brick 15: end-volume 16: 17: volume 172.16.0.2 18: type protocol/client 19: option transport-type tcp 20: option remote-host 172.16.0.2 21: option remote-port 6996 22: option remote-subvolume brick 23: end-volume 24: 25: volume mirror-0 26: type cluster/replicate 27: subvolumes 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2 28: end-volume 29: 30: volume writebehind 31: type performance/write-behind 32: option cache-size 4MB 33: subvolumes mirror-0 34: end-volume 35: 36: volume io-cache 37: type performance/io-cache 38: option cache-size 1GB 39: subvolumes writebehind 40: end-volume 41: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [2009-11-13 13:41:20] E [xlator.c:736:xlator_init_rec] xlator: Initialization of volume 'fuse' failed, review your volfile again [2009-11-13 13:41:20] E [glusterfsd.c:569:_xlator_graph_init] glusterfs: initializing translator failed [2009-11-13 13:41:20] E [glusterfsd.c:1291:main] glusterfs: translator initialization failed. exiting I tried searching (via Google) for things like "Initialization of volume 'fuse' failed, review your volfile again", but came up short. Do any obvious problems jump out? Any help is greatly appreciated and if any information is required in order for you to help - I can certainly dig it up.
