[Gluster-users] Missing gsyncd and dependency issues with gluster on AWS AMI host

[Eric Berg]

I'm setting up geo-replication from a cluster in our colo facility to a gluster cluster in amazon.  I set up the amazon instances as AMI builds (probably a mistake), by enabling gluster epel repo from download.gluster.org.

While trying to set up geo-replication, I could not find gsyncd, so I tried to update the existing 3.6.2-1.el6 versions, and I get the following, indicating that a) it's looking at el7 packages, when 6 is clearly stated in the gluster-epel.repo file and b) there are unmet dependencies for systemd-units and rsyslog-mmjsonparse.

I'm thinking that I should just rebuild these instances as ubuntu 14.x boxes, like the ones in our datacenter, but it might be easier to solve this problem.

Anybody have any thoughts on the matter?

Here's the output of the install command:

# yum install -y glusterfs{-fuse,-server}

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles -nodigest

Thanks for any help you may provide.
