I am new to gluster and trying to understand it's behaviour. Something is not right here. When I do [pharos_priv_user at c00000009066 bricks]$ sudo /usr/sbin/gluster volume info Volume Name: test-volume Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: c00000009066:/home/pharos_priv_user/gluster-test Brick2: c00000008892:/home/pharos_priv_user/gluster-test It shows started. But in brick logs I see: [2011-03-04 15:03:29.328863] C [posix.c:4339:init] test-volume-posix: Extended attribute not supported, exiting. [2011-03-04 15:03:29.328884] E [xlator.c:909:xlator_init] test-volume-posix: Initialization of volume 'test-volume-posix' failed, review your volfile again [2011-03-04 15:03:29.328896] E [graph.c:331:glusterfs_graph_init] test-volume-posix: initializing translator failed [2011-03-04 15:03:29.329003] I [glusterfsd.c:672:cleanup_and_exit] glusterfsd: shutting down My question is that volume says started and shows number of bricks but behind the scenes something is down. First is why it sent down and second how to verify everything is running as intended. Very confusing.
