Hi Christian, Find the answers Inline I am new to the list, because i am currently trying out the new 3.1 beta > glusterfs and cannot find informations on the web how i can create a volume > with the new gluster command which is also replicated. > > You need to have 'glusterd' started before running any of the gluster commands. Sequence of commands looks like below: bash# glusterd #<if its not a RPM install, add this command in rc scripts> bash# gluster peer probe <Other Server IP> # Do this for every storage server bash# gluster volume create test-mirror replica 2 <brick1> <brick2> ... <brickN> Where, 'test-mirror' is volume name, (and it can be anything string).. and brick1 -> brickN are in the format, <server>:<export-dir> format, and N should be multiple of 2 (as we gave 'replica 2') Then, you can start export processes using, bash# gluster volume start test-mirror You are ready to go... On any client machine (where there is FUSE) you can do.. bash# mount -t glusterfs server:test-mirror /mnt/glusterfs If one doesn't have fuse, and want to have NFS clients, do bash# mount -t nfs server:/test-mirror /mnt/nfs > The second thing i don't know is how i can activate translators and > authentication with the new gluster command. > > I didn't understand the question clearly.. can you re-phrase it? What do you mean by 'activating translator' and what is 'authenticating with new gluster command'? > Is there some "hidden" documentation somewhere? > > Documentation is in progress and we intent to get everything upto the mark soon. You can find 3.1 related docs here : http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1_Release_Notes:_Introduction http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFS_3.1beta And there is nothing 'hidden' if it gets written. The problem is whatever is in code/working is not yet penned down.. Regards, Amar Tumballi (bulde on irc/#gluster)
