Hi Matt,<br><br>Is the volume specfication file present on the server? The default path is <CONFDIR>/glusterfs.vol. This is overridden by the path given in client-volume-filename option in server configuration.<br><br>

I just had to deal with a situation where a glusterfs filesystem would<br>
not mount because someone had managed to create some files and<br>
directories under the mount point. Perhaps this behavior is<br>
intentional, but I would prefer that it work like NFS and just<br>
overmount. When bringing a cluster down and back up, it is quite<br>
possible for overeager users to log in and start working before<br>
everything is up.<br>
<br>
In addition the error message was unhelpful:<br>
<br>
-bash-3.2# glusterfs --server fs01 /data --volume-name=data<br>
glusterfs: could not open specfile<br>
