Hi, I'm running the latest qa build of 3.3 and having a bit of trouble with extended attrs. [root at compute-0-0 ~]# rpm -qa | grep gluster glusterfs-geo-replication-3.3.0qa20-1 glusterfs-core-3.3.0qa20-1 glusterfs-rdma-3.3.0qa20-1 glusterfs-fuse-3.3.0qa20-1 Firstly, is it mandatory to mount ext3 file systems with 'user_xattr'? The issue I'm having is that I would like to delete a gluster volume and create a new one. Gluster isn't allowing me to do so: [root at compute-0-0 ~]# gluster volume create cloudfs replica 2 compute-0-0:/gluster1 compute-0-1:/gluster1 compute-0-2:/gluster1 compute-0-3:/gluster1 'compute-0-0:/gluster1' has been part of a deleted volume with id d83317f2-0c13-4481-bd0a-838fc013ceff. Please re-create the brick directory. So, I'm trying to delete the brick directory but the xattrs remain: [root at compute-0-0 ~]# attr -l /gluster1 Attribute "gfid" has a 16 byte value for /gluster1 Attribute "glusterfs.dht" has a 16 byte value for /gluster1 Attribute "glusterfs.volume-id" has a 16 byte value for /gluster1 Attribute "afr.cloudfs-client-0" has a 12 byte value for /gluster1 Attribute "afr.cloudfs-client-1" has a 12 byte value for /gluster1 [root at compute-0-0 ~]# attr -r afr.cloudfs-client-1 /gluster1 attr_remove: No data available Could not remove "afr.cloudfs-client-1" for /gluster1 [root at compute-0-0 ~]# mount | grep gluster1 /dev/sdb1 on /gluster1 type ext3 (rw,user_xattr) [root at compute-0-0 ~]# umount /gluster1 [root at compute-0-0 ~]# rm -rf /gluster1 [root at compute-0-0 ~]# mkdir /gluster1 [root at compute-0-0 ~]# mount /gluster1 [root at compute-0-0 ~]# mount | grep gluster1 /dev/sdb1 on /gluster1 type ext3 (rw,user_xattr) [root at compute-0-0 ~]# attr -l /gluster1 Attribute "gfid" has a 16 byte value for /gluster1 Attribute "glusterfs.dht" has a 16 byte value for /gluster1 Attribute "glusterfs.volume-id" has a 16 byte value for /gluster1 Attribute "afr.cloudfs-client-0" has a 12 byte value for /gluster1 Attribute "afr.cloudfs-client-1" has a 12 byte value for /gluster1 Thanks for any help. --joey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
