Hello, the cli logs do not contain much. If you remount your gluster volume, and create the problem again, there may be more to see. On the client side: mount -t glusterfs -o log-level=DEBUG,log-file=/tmp/my_client.log 10.16.159.219:/myvol /mnt On the server side: gluster volume set myvol diagnostics.brick-sys-log-level WARNING gluster volume set myvol diagnostics.brick-log-level WARNING You could then attach the most recent log files to your email, or the parts that seem relevant so the email is not too large. /tmp/my_client.log /var/log/glusterfs/etc*.log /var/log/glusterfs/bricks/*.log ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nirmal Prasad" <nprasad@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, March 31, 2014 6:04:31 PM Subject: Re: 42 node gluster volume create fails silently .. and glusterd died.

This is the output in the cli.log – There are 42 servers and (21 brick pairs) – timeout perhaps ??
