I had a node that was attached but not functioning properly. In this case the gluster daemon itself wouldn't launch giving this at startup: http://pastebin.com/rnsMNGBT I went into /var/lib/glusterd and removed everything under peers/volumes - thus allowing the daemon to start cleanly. After doing a gluster volume sync from a known good peer - everything appears normal except I cannot add any new volumes using that peer: volume create: perftest: failed: Host cs75-i is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state Peer status reads: Hostname: cs75-i Uuid: 339280d7-b4d3-414b-be84-e8e4638f3751 State: Accepted peer request (Connected) restarting the daemon again on cs75-i yields: Hostname: cs75-i Uuid: 339280d7-b4d3-414b-be84-e8e4638f3751 State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) To which I then receive: volume create: perftest: success: please start the volume to access data The questions is, what is the difference between these two states, and why does a simple restart on the daemon correct the issue? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
