I'm trying the following command on OpenIndiana where the mpools are zfs pools and glusterfs is 3.1.1. gluster volume create glustervol transport tcp 192.168.1.54:/mpool 192.168.1.55:/mpool2 The first time I run it, it runs for a while, produces no output, and no volumes get created. When I run it again, it reports Creation of volume glustervol has been unsuccessful The debug log from the first run follows: [socket.c:1809:socket_server_event_handler] socket.management: Failed to set keep-alive: Option not supported by protocol [glusterd-op-sm.c:5385:glusterd_op_set_cli_op] : Returning 0 [glusterd-handler.c:785:glusterd_handle_create_volume] glusterd: Received create volume req [glusterd-utils.c:484:glusterd_check_volume_exists] : Volume glustervol does not exist.stat failed with errno : 2 on path: /etc/glusterd/vols/glustervol [glusterd-utils.c:610:glusterd_brickinfo_new] : Returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:667:glusterd_brickinfo_from_brick] : Returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:2101:glusterd_friend_find_by_hostname] glusterd: Friend 192.168.1.54 found.. state: 3 [glusterd-utils.c:2182:glusterd_hostname_to_uuid] : returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:622:glusterd_resolve_brick] : Returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:2344:glusterd_new_brick_validate] : returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:708:glusterd_volume_brickinfo_get] : Returning -1 [glusterd-utils.c:610:glusterd_brickinfo_new] : Returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:667:glusterd_brickinfo_from_brick] : Returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:2101:glusterd_friend_find_by_hostname] glusterd: Friend 192.168.1.55 found.. state: 3 [glusterd-utils.c:2182:glusterd_hostname_to_uuid] : returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:622:glusterd_resolve_brick] : Returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:2062:glusterd_friend_find_by_uuid] glusterd: Friend found.. state: Peer in Cluster [glusterd-utils.c:2344:glusterd_new_brick_validate] : returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:708:glusterd_volume_brickinfo_get] : Returning -1 [glusterd-utils.c:232:glusterd_lock] glusterd: Cluster lock held by 1a5716a5-7a15-4dcd-85dd-6d30c6024d0f [glusterd-handler.c:2835:glusterd_op_txn_begin] glusterd: Acquired local lock [glusterd-op-sm.c:5242:glusterd_op_sm_inject_event] glusterd: Enqueuing event: 'GD_OP_EVENT_START_LOCK' [glusterd-handler.c:2839:glusterd_op_txn_begin] glusterd: Returning 0 [glusterd-utils.c:560:glusterd_volume_bricks_delete] : Returning 0 [glusterd-op-sm.c:5290:glusterd_op_sm] : Dequeued event of type: 'GD_OP_EVENT_START_LOCK' [glusterd3_1-mops.c:1091:glusterd3_1_cluster_lock] glusterd: Sent lock req to 2 peers [glusterd3_1-mops.c:1094:glusterd3_1_cluster_lock] glusterd: Returning 0 [glusterd-op-sm.c:4068:glusterd_op_ac_send_lock] : Returning with 0 [glusterd-utils.c:2599:glusterd_sm_tr_log_transition_add] glusterd: Transitioning from 'Default' to 'Lock sent' due to event 'GD_OP_EVENT_START_LOCK' [glusterd-utils.c:2601:glusterd_sm_tr_log_transition_add] : returning 0 [glusterd-handler.c:426:glusterd_handle_cluster_lock] glusterd: Received LOCK from uuid: 1a5716a5-7a15-4dcd-85dd-6d30c6024d0f [glusterd-op-sm.c:5242:glusterd_op_sm_inject_event] glusterd: Enqueuing event: 'GD_OP_EVENT_LOCK' [glusterd-handler.c:442:glusterd_handle_cluster_lock] : Returning 0 [glusterd-op-sm.c:5290:glusterd_op_sm] : Dequeued event of type: 'GD_OP_EVENT_LOCK' [glusterd-op-sm.c:4041:glusterd_op_ac_none] : Returning with 0 [glusterd-utils.c:2599:glusterd_sm_tr_log_transition_add] glusterd: Transitioning from 'Lock sent' to 'Lock sent' due to event 'GD_OP_EVENT_LOCK' [glusterd-utils.c:2601:glusterd_sm_tr_log_transition_add] : returning 0 On the second run, the log says [socket.c:1809:socket_server_event_handler] socket.management: Failed to set keep-alive: Option not supported by protocol [glusterd-op-sm.c:5385:glusterd_op_set_cli_op] : Returning 16 [glusterd3_1-mops.c:1357:glusterd_handle_rpc_msg] : Unable to set cli op: 16 [glusterd-op-sm.c:4702:glusterd_op_send_cli_response] : Returning 0 -- Maurice Volaski, maurice.volaski at einstein.yu.edu Computing Support, Dominick P.
