(and it was working with the > 3.2) Same version of Linux on the client and on the server? What's the output of "gluster volume info" on the server? If you had a replicated or distributed volume consisting of master:/brick and slave:/brick, then the client needs to be able to resolve both "master" and "slave". Otherwise, something odd is happening. I would first do grep -i master /etc/hosts and look for anything obvious (repeat for any other brick hostnames in the volume). Next I would run a DNS tcpdump on the client: sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -nn -s0 udp port 53 and do the mount again in a different window, and go back to the DNS tcpdump to see what's seen. If neither of those turn up anything, I would strace the whole mount process: sudo strace -f mount -t glusterfs master:/vol1 /soft 2>strace.log and then look at the tail end of this log, and see what it was doing just before it wrote the error to the screen. HTH, Brian.
