[Gluster-users] Can I create a distributed dispersed volume with RAM drives?

[Ewen Chan]

Vijay:

Here is what it says:

[root at node1 brick1]# gluster volume create gv0 stripe 4 node1:/bricks/brick1/gv0 node2:/bricks/brick1/gv0 node3:/bricks/brick1/gv0 node4:/bricks/brick1/gv0
stripe option not supported

Usage:
volume create <NEW-VOLNAME> [stripe <COUNT>] [replica <COUNT> [arbiter <COUNT>]] [disperse [<COUNT>]] [disperse-data <COUNT>] [red
undancy <COUNT>] [transport <tcp|rdma|tcp,rdma>] <NEW-BRICK>... [force]

It says that the stripe option is not supported, but then in the usage right below it, it gives the correct syntax for how to use the gluster volume create command.

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Ewen

To Whom It May Concern:

I am currently using CentOS 7.6.1810 on four compute nodes, where each node has 128 GB of RAM.

I have created a tmpfs mount point using half of the RAM.

I read the CentOS SIG Gluster Quickstart wiki/document (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/gluster-Quickstart). In there, it was creating a replicated volume.

Can I create a distributed dispersed volume with RAM drives?

I was able to create a distributed volume, but I am having difficulties trying to create a distributed dispersed volume.



Can you provide more details about the problems encountered while creating a distributed dispersed volume?

Thanks,
Vijay
