[Gluster-devel] how to add to one partition - space running out - a second

[Roland Fischer]

hi,

we use glusterfs in version 3.0.0 patched and we want to add to an 
existing partition (for example running out of space) a second 
partition.  = both are ext3 formatted

is this possible?

here we go:

first partition - space running out
/dev/sdc1             2.0G  503M  1.4G  27% /GFS-test/part1

add a second partition:
/dev/sdc2            1004M   18M  936M   2% /GFS-test/part2


servervolfile:
volume part1
   type storage/posix
   option directory /GFS-test/part1
end-volume

volume locks
   type features/locks
   subvolumes part1
end-volume

volume io-threads
   type performance/io-threads
   option thread-count 8 # default is 16
   subvolumes locks
end-volume

volume part2
   type storage/posix
   option directory /GFS-test/part2
end-volume

volume locks1
   type features/locks
   subvolumes part2
end-volume

volume io-threads1
   type performance/io-threads
   option thread-count 8 # default is 16
   subvolumes locks1
end-volume

volume server
   type protocol/server
   option transport-type tcp
   option auth.addr.io-threads.allow xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx,127.0.0.1
   option auth.addr.io-threads1.allow xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx,127.0.0.1
   option transport.socket.listen-port 7002
   subvolumes io-threads io-threads1
end-volume

mounted: i see the two partitions in one:
3.0G  176M  2.7G   7% /GFS/test1                  (GFS-test/part1 with 
2GB and GFS-test/part2 with 1 GB

perfect.......but i cant copy another file to the new "resized" partition:

copying file1 with 90 MB:

cp -av file1 file2
`file1' -> `file2'
cp: cannot open `file1' for reading: No such file or directory

i cant read any file on the new "resized" partition

cat file3
cat: file3: No such file or directory


so what did we wrong? is the volfile configuration wrong? or is it not 
possible?

regards
