Hi, I'm testing the geo-rep feature and I do have some issues with it. I do have read [1] and [2]. I have a replicated volume on 192.168.1.30 and 192.168.1.31 called "test-volume" and another one on 192.168.1.32 and 192.168.1.33 also called "test-volume" test-volume on .30/.31 is the master. I exchanged the ssh key from 192.168.1.30 (one of the bricks of the master volume) to 192.168.1.32 (one of the bricks of the slave volume) using the root user and the /etc/glusterd/geo-replication/secret.pem file. So i can connect through ssh from the 1st brich of the volume master to the first brick of the volume slave without password with this command: root at glusterfs1:~# ssh -i /etc/glusterd/geo-replication/secret.pem root at 192.168.1.32 root at glusterfs3:~# I created the geo-replication with the following command : # gluster volume geo-replication test-volume root at 192.168.1.32::test-volume start The ssh geo-replication command seems ok : root at glusterfs1:~# gluster volume geo-replication test-volume root at 192.168.1.32::test-volume config ssh-command ssh -oPasswordAuthentication=no -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /etc/glusterd/geo-replication/secret.pem But in the geo-replication log I do have this output (log level DEBUG) : [2011-07-07 12:05:00.872988] I [monitor(monitor):42:monitor] Monitor: ------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-07 12:05:00.873234] I [monitor(monitor):43:monitor] Monitor: starting gsyncd worker [2011-07-07 12:05:00.938944] I [gsyncd:286:main_i] <top>: syncing: gluster://localhost:test-volume -> ssh://root at 192.168.1.32::test-volume [2011-07-07 12:05:00.949170] D [repce:131:push] RepceClient: call 3441:140305397196544:1310033100.95 __repce_version__() ...
