I don't get this. I am using a freshly installed copy of Fedora 19 and starting up glusterd for the first time. The goal is to have a replicated directory on two systems. But for right now, I can't even start up the glusterd daemon right out of the box. Trying to follow the Quick Start directions at http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/QuickStart is, well, challenging. Those QuickStart directions are for Gluster 3.3.something and Fedora 19 seems include 3.4.beta3, so those directions are wrong. This is a brand new, fresh installation with no volumes yet. Anaconda apparently installed these packages with the initial Fedora installation: [root at chicago-fw1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep gluster glusterfs-fuse-3.4.0-0.6.beta3.fc19.x86_64 glusterfs-3.4.0-0.6.beta3.fc19.x86_64 glusterfs-api-3.4.0-0.6.beta3.fc19.x86_64 [root at chicago-fw1 ~]# So then I did: yum install glusterfs-server and it successfully installed. Next I did: systemctl start glusterd.service This starts without error but then blows up a few seconds later: [root at chicago-fw1 system]# systemctl start glusterd.service [root at chicago-fw1 system]# tail /var/log/messages Jul 7 06:18:28 chicago-fw1 dbus-daemon[508]: dbus[508]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.fedoraproject.Setroubleshootd' Jul 7 06:18:29 chicago-fw1 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/glusterfsd from name_bind access on the tcp_socket .

[root at chicago-fw1 system]# The SELinux message above is just a warning - I set SELINUX=permissive in /etc/selinux/config. The real issue is the No such file or directory error. Am I dealing with a bug? Should I be installing different versions of different packages? That vol file exists and is part of the virgin installation - unless the beta 3 of glusterd is looking for it in a different spot than where the installation puts it.
