Hello I have 2 gluster servers (10.0.1.11 and 10.0.1.12) and 1 client(10.0.1.1) on same lan. I added a direct network link between the 2 servers (10.10.10.11 and 10.10.10.12). From 1 gluster server : $ sudo gluster peer probe 10.10.10.12 $ sudo gluster peer status Number of Peers: 1 Hostname: 10.10.10.12 Uuid: 467b70c7-c5b5-48c3-9026-4a2b3eadc5b8 State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) $ sudo gluster volume create VOL_REPL2 replica 2 transport tcp 10.10.10.11:/opt/data/b2 10.10.10.12:/opt/data/b2 $ sudo gluster volume info Volume Name: VOL_REPL2 Type: Replicate Volume ID: 65db00ee-5d64-490b-8f37-47d918f20062 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: 10.10.10.11:/opt/data/b2 Brick2: 10.10.10.12:/opt/data/b2 From my client : $ sudo mount -t glusterfs 10.0.1.11:/VOL_REPL2 /mnt/VOL_REPL2 Mount failed. Please check the log file for more details. $ sudo less /var/log/glusterfs/mnt-VOL_REPL1.log ...

But why I can't mount with glusterfs ?
