Ok, let me step back a bit. The more I look, the less clear this is. The command I used to create this was /usr/bin/glusterfs-volgen --name glusterraid1 --raid 1 --export-directory /glusterfs1 raidvol-0 raidvol-1 server002:/glusterfs1 [...] server034:/glusterfs1 Note that [...] means server0[x]:/glusterfs1 blah, blah, blah Where should the .vol files refer to glusterraid1? Should the volgen have created something (raidvol-0, raidvol-1) under /glusterfs1? Did I generate it incorrectly, and so should have had --export-directory /export/glusterfs? mark
