[Gluster-users] FW: cant mount gluster volume

[Eco Willson]

Steve,

The volume is a pure distribute:

> Type: Distribute
In order to have files replicate, you need
1) to have a number of bricks that is a multiple of the replica count, 
e.g., for your three node configuration, you would need two bricks per 
node to set up replica two.  You could set up replica 3, but you will 
take a performance hit in doing so.
2) to add a replica count during the volume creation, e.g.
`gluster volume create <vol name> replica 2 server1:/export server2:/export

 From the volume info you provided, the export directories are different 
for all three nodes:

Brick1: gluster-0-0:/mseas-data-0-0
Brick2: gluster-0-1:/mseas-data-0-1
Brick3: gluster-data:/data
  

Which node are you trying to mount to /data?  If it is not the 
gluster-data node, then it will fail if there is not a /data directory.  
In this case, it is a good thing, since mounting to /data on gluster-0-0 
or gluster-0-1 would not accomplish what you need.
To clarify, there is a distinction to be made between the export volume 
mount and the gluster mount point.  In this case, you are mounting the 
brick.
In order to see all the files, you would need to mount the volume with 
the native client, or NFS.
For the native client:
mount -t glusterfs gluster-data:/gdata /mnt/<gluster mount dir>
For NFS:
mount -t nfs -o vers=3 gluster-data:/gdata /mnt/<gluster mount dir>


Thanks,

Eco
