I see in the gNFS beta doc from June it still refers to editing vol files and using glusterfs-volgen, I assume in 3.1 this is all handled via the 'gluster' command? First things before starting any volumes in 3.1, please make sure no other NFS servers are running (kNFS, uNFS etc). Make sure, rpc portmap program is running. Then create a volume in 3.1, with 'gluster volume create <>' command.. Now, run, nodeNNN# gluster volume start <VOLNAME> The above command will start both GlusterFS and gNFS servers Regards, Amar
