[Gluster-users] Creation of volume has been unsuccessful

[Pranith Kumar. Karampuri]

hi itzik, 
This looks similar to http://bugs.gluster.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=1855 
The reason for the bug is that in the 3.1 implementation, the host aliases are
not handled properly for localhost. Are you using 3.1 release?. If yes the bug is fixed from http://ftp.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/qa-releases/glusterfs-3.1.1qa1.tar.gz 


Thanks

hi itzik, 
According to the logs, The DNS resolution of gluster3 on the same machine failed. 
======gluster3.log===== 
[2010-11-10 18:14:07.26112] E [glusterd-op-sm.c:413:glusterd_op_stage_create_volume] glusterd: cannot resolve brick: gluster3:/data1

This can happen if the DNS is not setup properly or /etc/hosts files are not setup properly. Could you provide /etc/hosts contents on all these machines to check if they are set up properly? 


One question: Will it be ok if I CC this thread to gluster-users?. I think it would be helpful for the community to know about issues like these. 


Thanks 
Pranith.
