Can you clarify what you mean by unavailable? Does the mount itself (using a local volume file, not fetching from the server, obviously) not work? Or does the mount work and you can't see your files? Also, do not change the order of "mirror-0" and "mirror-1" on a production setup :-) Using a changed order on files created using the older volume file will confuse GlusterFS. ------------------------------ Vikas Gorur Engineer - Gluster, Inc. ------------------------------
