Please can someone help with this problem - I really need to be able to auto-mount Glusterfs. I realise there were a lot of separate issues in my first posting and it would probably be better to concentrate on one at a time. So can anyone tell me why this autofs file line doesn't work? /data-alt/gorgon -fstype=glusterfs :/usr/local/Cluster-Config/etc/glusterfs/gorgon-mount.vol When I tried this I got the following error in my client log file, with date and time removed for brevity: E [glusterfsd.c:394:_get_specfp] glusterfs: error while getting volume file from server /usr/local/Cluster-Config/etc/glusterfs/gorgon-mount.vol Thanks in advance -Dan Bretherton On 7 September 2010 13:47:19 UTC+1, Dan Bretherton <d.a.bretherton at reading.ac.uk> wrote: > Dear All, > I would like to mount a GlusterFS volume via autofs, but I have been > having some problems after following the instructions in the Client > Installation and Configuration Guide. ?I am using GlusterFS version > 3.0.5. > > In my first attempt I tried specifying the path to a volume file, as > in the example from the Guide. ?Here is my autofs file entry. > > /data-alt/gorgon ?-fstype=glusterfs > :/usr/local/Cluster-Config/etc/glusterfs/gorgon-mount.vol > > When I tried this I got the following error in my client log file, > with date and time removed for brevity: > > E [glusterfsd.c:394:_get_specfp] glusterfs: error while getting volume > file from server > /usr/local/Cluster-Config/etc/glusterfs/gorgon-mount.vol > > Secondly, I tried pointing at one of the GlusterFS servers, as in > another example from the Guide. ?Here is the line from my autofs file. > > /data-alt/gorgon ?-fstype=glusterfs ?:behemoth.nerc-essc.ac.uk > > The server in question has the client volfile in /etc/glusterfs, but > the client is not able to fetch the file from the server. ?Here is the > error from the client log file. > > E [glusterfsd.c:394:_get_specfp] glusterfs: error while getting volume > file from server behemoth.nerc-essc.ac.uk > > Obviously the server needs to be configured in some way to allow > clients to fetch volfiles from it. ?Can somebody explain to me how to > do this? ?I also tried some variations on the same theme, as shown > below with their corresponding errors. > > /data-alt/gorgon ?-fstype=glusterfs behemoth:/etc/glusterfs/gorgon-mount.vol > E [fetch-spec.c:60:fetch_cbk] top: GETSPEC from server returned -1 (No > such file or directory) > E [glusterfsd.c:394:_get_specfp] glusterfs: error while getting volume > file from server behemoth > > /data-alt/gorgon ?-fstype=glusterfs > :behemoth:/etc/glusterfs/gorgon-mount.vol > mount.vol' does not conform to standards. > E [fetch-spec.c:203:get_shrub] trans: validating translator failed > lusterfs/gorgon-mount.vol > > /data-alt/gorgon ?-fstype=glusterfs behemoth:gorgon-mount > W [socket.c:1468:socket_init] trans: disabling non-blocking IO > W [socket.c:1468:socket_init] trans: disabling non-blocking IO > E [fetch-spec.c:60:fetch_cbk] top: GETSPEC from server returned -1 (No > such file or directory) > E [glusterfsd.c:394:_get_specfp] glusterfs: error while getting volume > file from server behemoth > > The last of these was an attempt to mimic how I mount the volume > exported by my Gluster Storage Platform cluster. ?Unfortunately ?I > can't automount that either, even though the client does manage to > fetch the volfile from the Plaform cluster head node. ?When I try to > automount the directorythe mount process just hangs. ?Here is my > autofs file entry associated with this separate problem. > > /data-alt/bdan ?-fstype=glusterfs bdan0:bdan-tcp > > The volfile is successfully fetched from the server and echoed to the > client log file, but then nothing happens. ?I would appreciate any > suggestions relating to both these problems. > > Regards, > Dan B. > > > /data-alt/gorgon ?-fstype=glusterfs bdan0:bdan-tcp > > -- > Mr. D.A.
