[Gluster-users] geo-rep will not initialize

[Strahil Nikolov]

One silly question: Did you try adding some files on the source volume after the georep was created ?
Can you share the output of your version of  'sh -x /usr/libexec/glusterfs/gverify.sh masterVol slaveUser slaveHost slaveVol sshPort logFileName' check ?

Best Regards,

 Yes. For completeness' sake:
 grep geoacct /etc/passwd /etc/group
 /etc/passwd:geoacct:x:5273:5273:gluster geo-replication:/var/lib/glusterd/geoacct:/bin/bash
 /etc/group:geoacct:x:5273:

 restarted glusterd
 ssh-keyed, no-password access established.
 gluster system:: execute gsec_create
 reports success, and /var/lib/glusterd/geo-replication/common_secret.pem.pub exists on both systems, containing 4 lines.
 created geo-rep session, and configured ssh-port, as before, successful.
 Issued start command. Status report still says Created.
 
 PRIMARY NODE    PRIMARY VOL    PRIMARY BRICK    SECONDARY USER    SECONDARY         SECONDARY NODE    STATUS     CRAWL STATUS    LAST_SYNCED          
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 pjs           j              /xx/brick/j      geoacct           geoacct at pms::n    N/A               Created    N/A             N/A
 
 
  Also, I think the source node must be able to reach the gluster slave. Try to mount the slave vol on the master via the fuse client in order to verify the status.  
 
 Each has mounted the other's volume. A single file, /gluster/j/stuff, is seen by both and is not replicated into /gluster/n.
 
  
  Also, check with the following command (found it in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2616791 ):  sh -x /usr/libexec/glusterfs/gverify.sh masterVol slaveUser slaveHost slaveVol sshPort logFileName  
 
 That must be the wrong URL, "libexec" doesn't appear there.
 However, running it with locally-appropriate args:
 /usr/libexec/glusterfs/gverify.sh j geoacct pms n 6427 /tmp/verify.log
 ...generates a great deal of regular logging output, logs nothing in /tmp/verify.log, but the shell execution trace made this complaint:
 shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
 So I went looking for directories that might be restricted (it didn't tell me which one it didn't like), thus:
 ls -ld / /gluster /gluster/? /xx /xx/brick /xx/brick/j
 find /var/lib/glu* -type d | xargs ls -ld
 The only directory, on both systems, that was at all restricted was /var/lib/glusterd/geo-replication, so...
 chmod ugo+rx /var/lib/glusterd/geo-replication
 ...to take care of that. Again, attempted start, to no effect, the session remains in Created state.
 
 I wish there was a single, exhaustive description of "problems causing georep not to initiate."
 The fact that it reports apparent success without moving forward to Active state is odd, and maddening.
 What event or state is which part of the process waiting for? Having started (in principle), what is evaluating conditions for moving to Active?
