[Gluster-devel] error message=> glusterfs: could not open specfile

[Paul Jochum]

Hi all:

    I am trying out glusterfs 1.3.1 (from the download page), for the
first time.  It compiled and installed fine.  I am running a simple
configuration of one client and one brick, using the supplied example
/etc/glusterfs vol files (just changed the address in the client's vol
file), and seems to run on the server.  When I try to run it on the
client, it immediately fails with the message:
glusterfs: could not open specfile

    On the client's log file, I am seeing:
2007-09-06 23:15:04 E [protocol.c:253:gf_block_unserialize_transport]
trans: EOF from peer (192.168.1.225:6996)

    On the server's log file, I am seeing:
2007-09-06 23:14:39 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection
disconnected
2007-09-06 23:14:39 E [server-protocol.c:197:generic_reply] server:
transport_writev failed

    I can ping, and ssh between the two hosts.  I have disabled iptables
and ip6tables on the server and client.
    So, I assume that I am missing something basic here, but don't know
where to start looking.  Any suggestions?

thanks,

Paul Jochum
