Hi there, i just did an upgrade on my test servers from version 7.8 to version 8.4 (debian buster, replicate 3 setup, 2 volumes), and noticed that one of two mounts wasn't working afterwards. procedure (same i used for 6.x -> 7.x): - stop all gluster processes on the server - apt update && apt upgrade - check volume, services, mounts etc. afterwards The volumes themselves are working, but one of the transport endpoints is not connected. Before the upgrade: ls -lah /shared/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 75 Apr 1 2020 private drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 46 Apr 16 2019 public after the upgrade: ls -lah /shared/ ls: cannot access '/shared/private': Transport endpoint is not connected d????????? ? ? ? ? ? private drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Feb 11 2019 public directory permissions and ownership screwed up? And even the date of the 2nd dir (public) has changed. Job for glusterfssharedstorage.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status glusterfssharedstorage.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. systemctl status glusterfssharedstorage.service ● glusterfssharedstorage.service - Mount glusterfs sharedstorage Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/glusterfssharedstorage.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (start) since Wed 2021-03-03 09:55:16 CET; 1s ago Cntrl PID: 2148 (mount-shared-st) Tasks: 2 (limit: 4915) Memory: 4.1M CGroup: /system.slice/glusterfssharedstorage.service ├─2148 /bin/bash /usr/libexec/glusterfs/mount-shared-storage.sh └─2213 sleep 10 Mar 03 09:55:16 dirac systemd[1]: Starting Mount glusterfs sharedstorage...

While writing/thinking i was able to fix it: - umount /shared/private -> directory looks normal again (no ???) - systemctl start glusterfssharedstorage.service - check if mount is done -> yes ah ok, read it here... https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Upgrade-Guide/generic-upgrade-procedure/ "Upgrade procedure for clients Unmount all glusterfs mount points on the client" My servers are mounting the volumes as clients as well. During the last version upgrade i never had done the unmount before - is this v8 related? Just curious...
