Hi all,
I am trying to follow the instructions from the Quick Start guide, but
I am
running into problems when issuing the following command:
mkfs.xfs -i size=512 /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: No such file or directory
If I create the sdb1 folder in the /dev folder I get the following
error
when issuing the mkfs.xfs command
mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/sdb1: Is a directory
Any assistance would be most helpful.
Kurt,
I urge you to cover some linux basics before getting into Glusterfs.
Copying blindly without understanding what you are doing is a recipe for
disaster.
/dev/sdb1 in a linux system points to the 1st partition of the 2nd
SCSI/SATA drive. Drives are labeled sda, sdb, sdc and so on (hda, hdb,
hdc etc for old IDE drives); partitions are represented via numbers.
