Hello everyone, I have a setup with two servers running glusterfs 3.1.2 (Repository revision: v3.1.1-64-gf2a067c) with fuse init (API version 7.10) on CentOS 5.5. Glusterfs is used for replicated storage volume for openvz images. The case is when I restore image of VPS on one server, device entries in /dev of VPS are created with correct minor/major numbers. These are also synced to another server and appear there soon but with wrong minors/majors. Here are parts of `ls -la' within /store (this directory acts as storage backend for gluster volume) on both servers: srv1: ... crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 1 ??? 13 2006 console crw------- 1 root root 1, 6 Apr 13 2006 core crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 2 Apr 13 2006 kmem crw------- 1 root root 1, 11 Apr 13 2006 kmsg crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 1 Apr 13 2006 mem crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Apr 13 2006 null crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 4 Apr 13 2006 port crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 176 Apr 13 2006 ttya0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 177 Apr 13 2006 ttya1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 178 Apr 13 2006 ttya2 ... srv2: ... crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 console crw------- 1 root root 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 core crw-r----- 1 root kmem 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 kmem crw------- 1 root root 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 kmsg crw-r----- 1 root kmem 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 mem crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 null crw-r----- 1 root kmem 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 port crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 ptmx crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 tty crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 ttya0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 ttya1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 253, 1 Apr 13 2006 ttya2 ... As you see, device numbers are screwed up. I restore VPS not to /store, but to mounted glusterfs volume. Besides, if I delete everything from wrong /dev and trigger self-heal with something like `touch -a -c dev/*' device entries are being recreated with same screwed maj/mins. I wonder if this is a bug and if there is any solution beside manual fix on backend storages of gluster volume? -- With best regards, Vadim
