thanks,I found the solution. (http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/User_Guide , says "GlusterFS server expects the volume specification file to be at /etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol. The example specification file will be installed as /etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol.sample. You need to edit it and rename it") so I did this, #cp /usr/local/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol.sample /etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol Now it starts without any error messages.Thanks again for your reply. -- Cheers, Lakshmipathi.G www.giis.co.in On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 2:20 PM, Raja <coksupp2 at spectrum.net.in> wrote: > > Hi, > > That is not the proper way. > > Can you please configure using these options. > ./configure --prefix=/? --localstatedir=/var > do the editing in configuration file of glusterfsd.vol ie in > /etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol > > To start glusterfsd > glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol > > then check whether the port is listening > netstat -ntlp > Active Internet connections (only servers) > Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address??????????
