When I create gluster volume on the directory which has been format to lessfs, I have the problem in using gluster client to mount to the gluster server. I input "df -h", the system shows that I indeed mount to gluster server but when I input "ls "the mount point directory" ", the terminal shows that "ls cannot access "the mount point directory": Operation not supported".</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px" data-mce-style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px" data-mce-style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Please tell me how do you establish gluster on lessfs or teach my how to solve my problem. Thanks a million.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></body></html>
