Hi List, Sorry for the crude english ! we have an 3 Nodes gluster Installation. Since start of this gluster we have problems like this: [2010-12-10 07:14:57.210627] E [posix.c:437:posix_lookup] posix: lstat on /backup/mail8-node2/yesteryesterday_root.tgz failed: No data available [2010-12-10 08:14:57.778585] E [posix.c:1084:posix_mknod] posix: mknod on /backup/mysql2/yesterday_root.tgz failed: File exists [2010-12-10 08:14:57.813334] E [posix.c:437:posix_lookup] posix: lstat on /backup/mysql2/yesterday_root.tgz failed: No data available I read tons of old maillinglist entry's and some suggest to get the latest version of glusterfs. Since 18.11.2010 we have 3.1.0 in use and the errors continues. Sometimes the problem can be solved for an longer time if unexport and restart all gluster processes. I just have no (more) idea were to search for an solution. But I guess that this should be an trivial Problems since others have obviously running gluster in production. The Hardware was selected to be reliable ( Areca Raid6 Drives, Dual Xeon CPU, Server Mainboards, Server NIC`s) and has continuous data rates if tested with bonnie.
