i am trying to use snapshot feature using gluster 3.6.1, i am not sure<br>
how i can make the client see the snapshot.<br>
<br>
i created a replica volume on 2 servers, the bricks were mounted from<br>
thin lvm volumes:<br>
gluster vol create gvol1 replica 2<br>
storage1:/gluster-server/<u></u>mount1/brick1<br>
storage2:/gluster-server/<u></u>mount1/brick1<br>
<br>
i also created a snapshot:<br>
gluster snapshot create gvol1-snap1 gvol1<br>
<br>
it returns success, i can see the snapshot using:<br>
gluster snapshot list<br>
gluster snapshot info gvol1-snap1 ( shows Status started )<br>
gluster snapshot status gvol1-snap1 ( Shows brick path<br>
/var/run/gluster/snaps/XX on both storage servers )<br>
<br>
i can also see the snapshot with preserved data mounted in<br>
/var/run/gluster/snaps/XX<br>
<br>
1) Now how do i access this snapshot from a client ? if i try to run<br>
mount -t glusterfs storage1:gvol1-snap1 /gluster-client/gvol1-snap1<br>
this does not work, it does not give an error but the mount is empty<br>
<br>
2) i also tried using uss ( user servicable snapshots )<br>
gluster volume set gvol1 features.uss enable<br>
returned success but i do not see the .snap dirs in my main mount.<br>

The section on accessing snapshots in admin guide [1] might be useful to get this going.<br>
