Comments on How to install GlusterFS with a replicated volume over 2 nodes on Ubuntu 14.04

Hi!

Great instructions. I'm wondering if you have been able to succesfful created a Volume from a Brick(s) that are CIFS-mounted ZFS datasets? For instance, say you have ZFS-server:/dataset/subset mounted to /localhost/mnt, you then want to create a volume using "/localhost/mnt" as the Brick.

Have you been able to successfully create a volume over a mounted directory?

Thanks!

Excellent guide. Just missing the 'now mount the volume', for example

sudo mount -t glusterfs gluste1:datapoint /mnt/storage

Have followed the instructions on Ubunt 14.04, and my two peers are connected, they see each other, and the volume is mounted and visible by both servers too.

However, when I create a text file in one server, it is not replicated in the other (or vice-versa).

Nice post, thanks so much for the tutorial!!!

mkdir /home/share

mount -t glusterfs gluster1:datapoint /home/share

now everything you copy into share directory is replicated on all servers.

I have tried to create a volume many times and I keep getting this error:

root@server1:/# gluster volume create volume1 replica 2 transport tcp wordpress-1:/mnt/gluster-storage  wordpress-2:/mnt/gluster-storage force

volume create: volume1: failed: Glusterfs is not supported on brick: wordpress-1:/mnt/gluster-storage.

Setting extended attributes failed, reason: Operation not permitted.

However when I do a peer status they are both seeing each other and showing as connected, I am sure there is something very simple I am forgetting if anyone could shed light on this for me I would be very appreciative

same issue here! Did anyone manage to understand the reason?

Idont know why but always get this message even if i mount or un mount disk from directory whatever. 

volume create: datapoint: failed: /vms/gluster is already part of a volume

Is there any reason for this?
