Just set up and mounted a glusterfs consisting of 6 nodes: $ gluster volume info Volume Name: g6 Type: Distribute Status: Started Number of Bricks: 6 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: pbs1:/data2 Brick2: pbs2:/data2 Brick3: pbs3:/data2 Brick4: pbs3:/data Brick5: dabrick:/data2 Brick6: hef:/data2 Options Reconfigured: auth.allow: 128.* It's mounted on 9 similar (tho not identical) ubuntu 10.04.3 nodes (64b Kubuntu Dektop) in a cluster (claw[1-9]), which are running a self-compiled and installed version of 3.3b1. The gluster server bricks are also running 10.04.3 (64b server). However, the glusterfs mounts differentially on the nodes: root at bduc-login:~ 576 $ for ITER in $(seq 1 9); do echo -n "claw${ITER}:"; ssh claw${ITER} 'df -h |egrep "gluz|pbs"' ; done; claw1:pbs3:/g6 21T 114G 21T 1% /mnt/gluz claw2:pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 21T 114G 21T 1% /mnt/gluz claw3:pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 21T 114G 21T 1% /mnt/gluz claw4:pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 21T 114G 21T 1% /mnt/gluz claw5:pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 5.5T 2.7G 5.5T 1% /mnt/gluz <--- claw6:pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 21T 112G 21T 1% /mnt/gluz claw7:pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 21T 114G 21T 1% /mnt/gluz claw8:pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 5.5T 2.7G 5.5T 1% /mnt/gluz <--- claw9:pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 21T 112G 21T 1% /mnt/gluz Obviously claw5 and claw8 are ... different. It looks like they're mounting a component of the glusterfs (from the numbers, it's the contribution of "Brick5: dabrick:/data2"), but not the whole thing. The glusterfs was mounted on all of them with a script: mount -t glusterfs pbs3.calit2.uci.edu:/g6 /mnt/gluz Ive unmounted and remounted the glusterfs on claw8 with no difference. I've also unmounted all instances of the glusterfs, then gluster- stopped and restarted the volume on the gluster server node and then remounted the fs as well. No diff. When mounted, claw[58] can see some of the files not all of them (the same ones that are on the 'dabrick' volume, as you might guess) but cannot write to the mounted filesystem, even tho the user has permissions to write. ...?! The nodes that are having the problem have never had a gluster fs mounted on them before. -- Harry Mangalam - Research Computing, OIT, Rm 225 MSTB, UC Irvine [ZOT 2225] / 92697 Google Voice Multiplexer: (949) 478-4487 MSTB Lat/Long: (33.642025,-117.844414) (paste into Google Maps) -- This signature has been OCCUPIED! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
