Hi, I can't succeed adding two new replicated bricks in my volume. I do have a replicated volume on two servers. I created it with the following commands : root at glusterfs1:/var/log# gluster peer probe 192.168.1.31 Probe successful root at glusterfs1:~# gluster volume create test-volume replica 2 transport tcp 192.168.1.30:/sharedspace 192.168.1.31:/sharedspace Creation of volume test-volume has been successful. Please start the volume to access data. root at glusterfs1:~# gluster volume start test-volume root at glusterfs1:~# gluster volume info Volume Name: test-volume Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: 192.168.1.30:/sharedspace Brick2: 192.168.1.31:/sharedspace Ok now from a client : client~# mount -t glusterfs 192.168.1.30:test-volume /distributed-volume client~# echo "hello" > /distributed-volume/foo Foo is well replicated across the two bricks : root at glusterfs1:~# ll /sharedspace/ total 28 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 1 juil. 10:29 foo drwx------ 2 root root 16384 11 janv. 12:18 lost+found root at glusterfs2:~# ll /sharedspace/ total 28 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 1 juil. 10:29 foo drwx------ 2 root root 16384 11 janv. 12:18 lost+found That's perfect... until I try to add two new bricks : root at glusterfs1:~# gluster peer probe 192.168.1.32 Probe successful root at glusterfs1:~# gluster peer probe 192.168.1.33 Probe successful root at glusterfs1:~# gluster volume add-brick test-volume 192.168.1.32:/sharedspace 192.168.1.33:/sharedspace Add Brick successful root at glusterfs1:~# gluster volume info Volume Name: test-volume Type: Distributed-Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 x 2 = 4 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: 192.168.1.30:/sharedspace Brick2: 192.168.1.31:/sharedspace Brick3: 192.168.1.32:/sharedspace Brick4: 192.168.1.33:/sharedspace root at glusterfs1:~# gluster volume rebalance test-volume start starting rebalance on volume test-volume has been successful root at glusterfs1:~# gluster volume rebalance test-volume status rebalance completed Ok, so If I'm correct, data on Brick1 and Brick2 should be now also available from Brick3 and Brick4. But that's not the case : root at glusterfs3:~# ll /sharedspace/ total 20 drwx------ 2 root root 16384 11 janv. 12:18 lost+found root at glusterfs4:~# ll /sharedspace/ total 20 drwx------ 2 root root 16384 11 janv. 12:18 lost+found I'm using Debian Sid with Glusterfs 3.2.1 from official Debian repository. Am I wrong somewhere ? Regards, Carl Chenet
