[Gluster-users] gluster volume create failure

[John Smith]

Hi,


Thanks. Is there a preferred naming convention to go along with it ?
Doing /exports/brick1/brick 1 seems a bit silly. Also, the /export
mountpoint you suggest makes things a little ugly too, as it will
results in /etxport1,  /export2, etc.

Any ideas >?


Thanks,


John Smith.
