I think the instructions there is referring to a separate disk partition (sdb1). If you don't have one, you can create a loopback storage device. Example:<br>
truncate -s 5GB /srv/gluster-disk<br>
mkfs.xfs -i size=512 /srv/gluster-disk<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am trying to follow the instructions from the Quick Start guide, but I am running into problems when issuing the following command:<br>
<br>
mkfs.xfs -i size=512 /dev/sdb1<br>
<br>
/dev/sdb1: No such file or directory<br>
<br>
If I create the sdb1 folder in the /dev folder I get the following error when issuing the mkfs.xfs command<br>
<br>
mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/sdb1: Is a directory<br>
<br>
Any assistance would be most helpful.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Kurt<br>
