<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello, Daniel.<br></div><div>I am also testing gluster on vmware; in my application, it will be a secondary datastore for VM images.</div><div><br></div><div>So far, I've hit a couple of brick walls, like, for instance, VMware not reading volumes created as striped, or striped + replicated. It simply sits there, trying, four hours, without errors on either sides.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But your current configuration WILL work.</div><div><br></div><div>As a suggestion, to begin with your troubleshooting, try disabling firewall and SElinux. nothing to do with your current problem, BUT will matter in the near future.

<div><br></div><div>Now to your problem...</div><div><br></div><div>Your first syntax seem to be a bit off,unless it is a typo; </div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">sudo mount.glusterfs 192.168.100.170:gv0 /mnt/export</span><br>

</span></div><div><br></div><div>For the second case, you did not post the error message, so I can only suggest you try copying/pasting this:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">sudo mount -t glusterfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export</span><br>
</div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div>Now, here is another trick: try mounting wit nfs:</div><div><br></div><div>First, make sure your NFS share is really being shared:</div>
<div><br></div><div># showmount -e 192.168.100.170</div><div><br></div><div>Alternatively, if you are on one of the gluster servers, just for testing, you may try:</div><div><br></div><div># showmount -e localhost</div><div>
<br></div><div>Make sure your gluster volume is REALLY called gv0.</div><div><br></div><div>Now you can try mounting with:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export</span><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have followed your tutorial to set up glusterfs 3.4.2 in vmware.<br>
<a href="http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_configure" target="_blank">http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_configure</a><br>
<br>
My gluster volume info is the same as this:<br>
<br>
<br>
Volume Name: gv0<br>
Type: Replicate<br>
Volume ID: 8bc3e96b-a1b6-457d-8f7a-a91d1d4dc019<br>
Status: Created<br>
Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2<br>
Transport-type: tcp<br>
Bricks:<br>
Brick1: node01.yourdomain.net:/export/sdb1/brick<br>
Brick2: node02.yourdomain.net:/export/sdb1/brick<br>
<br>
In order to test replication I have installed the glusterfs-client on my<br>
ubuntu 12.04 laptop.<br>
<br>
I issue this command:<br>
<br>
sudo mount.glusterfs 192.168.100.170:gv0 /mnt/export<br>
<br>
but I receive this error :<br>
<br>
Usage: mount.glusterfs <volumeserver>:<volumeid/volumeport> -o<br>
<options> <mountpoint><br>
Options:<br>
man 8 mount.glusterfs<br>
<br>
To display the version number of the mount helper:<br>
mount.glusterfs --version<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have also tried this variant :<br>
<br>
# mount -t glusterfs HOSTNAME-OR-IPADDRESS:/VOLNAME MOUNTDIR<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So how do I mount the volumes and test the replication. Your getting<br>
started tutorial doesn’t detail that ?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help<br>
<br>
Dan<br>
<br>
