Hello, Daniel.
I am also testing gluster on vmware; in my application, it will be a secondary datastore for VM images.
So far, I've hit a couple of brick walls, like, for instance, VMware not reading volumes created as striped, or striped + replicated. It simply sits there, trying, four hours, without errors on either sides.
But your current configuration WILL work.
As a suggestion, to begin with your troubleshooting, try disabling firewall and SElinux. nothing to do with your current problem, BUT will matter in the near future. After you are sure all works, go back an re-enable/ fine tune them.
Now to your problem...
Your first syntax seem to be a bit off,unless it is a typo;
sudo mount.glusterfs 192.168.100.170:gv0 /mnt/export
you see, there is a slash missing after. It should read
sudo mount.glusterfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export
For the second case, you did not post the error message, so I can only suggest you try copying/pasting this:
sudo mount -t glusterfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export
Now, here is another trick: try mounting wit nfs:
First, make sure your NFS share is really being shared:
# showmount -e 192.168.100.170
Alternatively, if you are on one of the gluster servers, just for testing, you may try:
# showmount -e localhost
Make sure your gluster volume is REALLY called gv0.
Now you can try mounting with:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export
Again, if you are on one of the servers, try
sudo mount -t nfs localhost:/gv0 /mnt/export
You might want to "sudo su" to run everything all commands as root, without the hassle of sudoing everything.
Give it a try. If nfs works, go for it anyway; It is your only option for VMware/esxi anyway.
There are a few more advanced steps on esxi and on gluster, but let's get it to work first, right ?
Cheers,

Hi,
I have followed your tutorial to set up glusterfs 3.4.2 in vmware.
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_configure
My gluster volume info is the same as this:
Volume Name: gv0
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 8bc3e96b-a1b6-457d-8f7a-a91d1d4dc019
Status: Created
Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: node01.yourdomain.net:/export/sdb1/brick
Brick2: node02.yourdomain.net:/export/sdb1/brick
In order to test replication I have installed the glusterfs-client on my
ubuntu 12.04 laptop.
I issue this command:
sudo mount.glusterfs 192.168.100.170:gv0 /mnt/export
but I receive this error :
Usage: mount.glusterfs <volumeserver>:<volumeid/volumeport> -o
<options> <mountpoint>
Options:
man 8 mount.glusterfs
To display the version number of the mount helper:
mount.glusterfs --version
I have also tried this variant :
# mount -t glusterfs HOSTNAME-OR-IPADDRESS:/VOLNAME MOUNTDIR
So how do I mount the volumes and test the replication. Your getting
started tutorial doesn’t detail that ?
Thanks for your help
Dan
