I had 2 situations with pre-existing data and I solved the both 2 different ways.<br>
<br>
1), I followed the instructions in the link provided, however, I was running xfs on the underlying filesystem and so the command to add attributes is different.<br>
in this case, it's attr instead of setfattr to set the extended attribute. Also, I *think* the actual attribute name is different.</blockquote><div> <br><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> The extension attr names are hard-code , so it should not change according to underlying fs.</span><br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
so, what I recommend is to create one file through gluster, view it's extended attributes through the base filesystem then apply those to the remaining files.<br>
<br>
2) This is the less friendly but more surefire solution:<br>
make the gluster source point a sub directory in the source filesystem.<br>
then "move" the files into the gluster filesystem.<br>
This is less handy for "live" data, but it does insure the existing data is properly "glustered"</blockquote><div> <br> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">This way can make data right, but too many extra cost has been involved. In our plan, hundreds of TB should be stored in this fs , This loop may cost several days . So it can not be tolerated.</span><br>

<br>
here's what I did:<br>
CURRENT SOURCE: /home<br>
GLUSTER SOURCE /home/home<br>
GLUSTER MOUNT POINT /gluster/home<br>
<br>
(this may not be syntatically correct):<br>
cd /home<br>
for i in *<br>
do<br>
if [ $i != 'glusterhome' ]<br>
mv $i glusterhome<br>
ln -s gluster/home/$i $i<br>
fi<br>
<br>
then unmount /gluster/home, unmount /home remount /home on /gluster<br>
now you have /gluster/home with your data which has the gluster attributes attached.<br>
mount glusterfs from /gluster/home to /home<br>
<br>
I actually used this second procedure to get the data onto my new AFR mirror. It slowed the process down since it was replicating 50GB of data while moving it form disk to disk, but I'm not sure it slowed it down much. </blockquote>

Hi guys,<br>
I have configured a cluster with unify over afr. one of server in afr has some pre-existing data. And I want to make these data can be seen by client.<br>
Some config have been done according to<br>
"Setting up AFR on two servers with pre-existing data"<br>
<br></div>
<<a href="http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Setting_up_AFR_on_two_servers_with_pre-existing_data" target="_blank">http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Setting_up_AFR_on_two_servers_with_pre-existing_data</a>><a href="http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Setting_up_AFR_on_two_servers_with_pre-existing_data" target="_blank">http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Setting_up_AFR_on_two_servers_with_pre-existing_data</a><div class="Ih2E3d">
<br>
But namespace can not aware with those data.<br>
After afr completing, ls at client , pre-existing data can not be seen. cat them, Input/output error can be found.<br>
<br>
<br>
What should I fix them? Thank you for any help.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
