[Gluster-users] Getting ERROR: parsing the volfile failed (No such file or directory) when starting glusterd on Fedora 19

[Greg Scott]

And maybe I spent much of today chasing my tail.  I decided to just push forward even with those glusterfsd errors in /var/log/messages:

gluster peer probe 192.168.253.2
gluster peer status
gluster volume create firewall-scripts replica 2 transport tcp 192.168.253.1:/gluster-fw1 192.168.253.2:/gluster-fw2
gluster volume start firewall-scripts
mkdir /firewall-scripts
mount -t glusterfs 192.168.253.1:/firewall-scripts /firewall-scripts

All worked as expected on both nodes.  And now when I do 

Systemctl restart glusterd.service

I no longer see those "No such file or directory" errors in /var/log/messages from glusterfsd, just a bunch of SElinux warnings.  So apparently, gluster was telling me in its own special way that I did not have any volumes yet.
