Hi Alex & Strahil,
I (roughly) documented the installation process:
- install gluster packages
- start services (glusterd, glustereventsd) manually
- create volume & mount
After that i did a reboot of server1 to see if everything's fine
afterwards - no, services weren't started. Same on server2. On server3
i enabled both services -> after the reboot everything was fine.
That was the status on server1:
systemctl status glusterd.service
● glusterd.service - GlusterFS, a clustered file-system server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/glusterd.service; disabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:glusterd(8)
preset: enabled; but status disabled - i don't know how that may have
happened, as i surely didn't disable them. Strange.
Best Regards,
Hubert
