I think I've found the problem. The problem is not with the brick port, but instead with the unix domain socket used for communication between glusterd and glusterfsd. >From the log you provided, > [2013-07-29 23:34:41.949089] I [glusterfsd.c:1910:main] > 0-/usr/sbin/glusterfsd: Started running /usr/sbin/glusterfsd version 3.4.0 > (/usr/sbin/glusterfsd -s ir2 --volfile-id home.ir2.lhome-gluster_home -p > /var/lib/glusterd/vols/home/run/ir2-lhome-gluster_home.pid -S > /var/run/5a538b707ce5dbf525ba6d01835863bb.socket --brick-name > /lhome/gluster_home -l /var/log/glusterfs/bricks/lhome-gluster_home.log > --xlator-option *-posix.glusterd-uuid=9d2d74bf-9055-47a6-b3df-8c2057ea1dd9 > --brick-port 49157 --xlator-option home-server.listen-port=49157) > [2013-07-29 23:34:41.952053] I [socket.c:3480:socket_init] > 0-socket.glusterfsd: SSL support is NOT enabled > [2013-07-29 23:34:41.952087] I [socket.c:3495:socket_init] > 0-socket.glusterfsd: using system polling thread > [2013-07-29 23:34:41.952172] E [socket.c:695:__socket_server_bind] > 0-socket.glusterfsd: binding to failed: Address already in use socket.glusterfsd is the transport which is bound to the socket file specified, which is /var/run/5a538b707ce5dbf525ba6d01835863bb.socket in this case as specified by the -S option. The 'binding to' log should have printed the address:port identifier if this was a log for a port. > [2013-07-29 23:34:41.952186] E [socket.c:698:__socket_server_bind] > 0-socket.glusterfsd: Port is already in use > [2013-07-29 23:34:41.952195] W [rpcsvc.c:1394:rpcsvc_transport_create] > 0-rpc-service: listening on transport failed So this is most likely due the zombie process 23744 still listening on the unix domain socket. Only one bind can be performed on a unix domain socket. If another bind is tried we get an EADDRINUSE error. Can you kill 23744, remove /var/run/5a538b707ce5dbf525ba6d01835863bb.socket and restart the brick using 'gluster volume start'. This should allow it to start. ~kaushal -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
