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

[Jacques Mattheij]

hey Paul,

It looks to me like you should use the

   -f pathtoyourvolumespec/yourspecfile.vol

option on the command line.  I tried it here without that
and it tells me the same thing as you report (could not
open specfile).

something like:

/usr/local/sbin/glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/client.vol -s 192.168.1.225 
/mnt/point

replace the '/etc/glusterfs/client.vol' with your location of
the client spec file.

   best regards,

     Jacques
