Well, my manager wants me to try to get glusterfs working from the rpms that the CentOS team has, so it's try to get 2.0.8 working. I started to follow Chad's process... and ran into the same thing that started me on this: his glusterfs-volgen has *no* --export-directory in the command. Googling, I found <http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ewalter/gluster/> which is, in fact, 2.0.8. However, there's things I still don't get. Now, I've installed the server and common on all my nodes. I've only installed common and client on my head node (this is an HPC cluster that I'm building this on). 1) where do I run the glusterfs-volgen command, on the head (client) box, or on each of the servers? 2) if the latter, why does the command offer the option of listing multiple hosts? I have, as the link I posted recommends, symlinked /etc/glusterfs with /usr/local/etc/glusterfs. I've created the directories I want as part of this on each of my nodes, all with the same name. Once I get this part, then I'll get to the client side... mark
