Kon, With Gluster 3.1.1, you no longer need to do anything with the vol files. If you create a volume like you did below, then you simply mount it like: mount -t glusterfs 172.16.16.50:/pool /pool/mount Gluster automatically gets the volume information when mounting. This is described at: http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1:_Manu ally_Mounting_Volumes There is no need to do anything with the vol files you found in /etc/glusterd, and in fact using these can cause some functionality such as volume elasticity to break. -Jacob -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] On Behalf Of Kon Wilms Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 10:24 AM To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: GlusterFS 3.1.1 - local volume mount What is the desired operation mode for mounting local volumes to re-export when creating volumes in an automated fashion? Using gluster to create a new volume automagically does not place any .vol files in /etc/glusterfs. I'm not sure if this is by design, but it isn't documented. Creating a new volume: gluster volume create pool replica 2 transport tcp 172.16.16.50:/pool/raw 172.16.16.51:/pool/raw 172.16.16.52:/pool/raw 172.16.16.53:/pool/raw I can mount this as follows: glusterfs --volfile=/etc/glusterd/vols/pool/pool-fuse.vol /pool/mount Should I make a local copy of the pool-fuse.vol volume file and place it in /etc/glusterfs?
