I have a 2 node mirrored setup for gluster. I am trying to use booster for my file I/O. For testing, I just tried writing a 1M file as follows: node041 $ export GLUSTERFS_BOOSTER_FSTAB=/etc/glusterfs/booster.fstab node041 $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/glusterfs/glusterfs-booster.so dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/gscratch/file1M bs=1M count=1 I see the following in my booster.log file. What am I doing wrong here ###################################################################### [2010-06-03 14:59:15] E [booster.c:414:vmp_open] booster: VMP open failed [2010-06-03 14:59:15] E [booster.c:272:do_open] booster: Xattr user.glusterfs-booster-volfile not found: Operation not supported ........
