[Gluster-users] GlusterFS startup problems

Sun Jun 8 16:13:05 UTC 2008

Hmm  - on my installation I use --prefix= so as to avoid putting everything
in /usr, and my fuse.so is in /lib/glusterfs/1.3.8pre6/xlator/mount/fuse.so,
right where yours should be (except yours should be /usr/...).  Wonder if
this is a bug in the installer for the latest version?

Can you find fuse.so anywhere under /usr/lib/    ?

Hi Chris,

Well, I did try looking for 'fuse.so' in the
'/usr/lib/glusterfs/1.3.9/xlator/mount/' directory, but I wasn't able to
find it there (actually the 'mount' folder itself didn't even exist). So
that made me want to try doing another rebuild of GlusterFS (just in case
something was missed that I didn't notice), but that didn't help since the
'mount' folder was still missing after the rebuild.

Oh, also thanks for letting me know about forwarding it to the list, I only
just noticed that I was only sending my replies directly to you, and not to
the list.

Sounds like it can't find fuse.so. Is it there?

Also, be sure to copy the list and not just me. Others can help you as well
and may know the exact cause of your problem.   ;-)

Hi Christopher,

Thanks again for the speedy response. I've tried starting a basic setup
again, though still no success. After going through the logs, here's the
message I found from the client terminal:

2008-06-08 15:53:40 E [xlator.c:120:xlator_set_type] xlator:
dlopen(/usr/lib/glusterfs/1.3.9/xlator/mount/fuse.so):

TLA Repo Revision: glusterfs--mainline--2.5--patch-770

[0x110420]
/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0)[0x8c3390]
[glusterfs][0x80493c1]

As for the server terminal, there were no errors in the log, so apparently
this seems to be something that's limited to the client only.

Thanks again.

The directory where you will be mounting the gluster filesystem has to exist
beforehand (just like mounting a cd, or NFS, etc.). First create
/mnt/glusterfs and then try mounting it to that directory. Also, I'd expect
glusterfs to log something like that, even if it doesn't throw an error when
you tried to mount it. Check the gluster logs (and /var/log/messages) for
any errors. I think by default they are in /var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log

Hello Christopher,

Thanks for the quick response. After following your instructions, I was able
to find the executable in the /usr/sbin/ folder. So what I did was to try to
start a basic setup based on the instructions on the Install and run
GlusterFS v1.3 in 10mins
<http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Install_and_run_GlusterFS_v1.3_in_10mins>
page. I made the corresponding volume spec file for both the server and
client, and then ran the following command on the server (just an addition,
iptables have already been disabled beforehand):

# /usr/sbin/glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol

And the following command on the client:

# /usr/sbin/glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /mnt/glusterfs

After I executed the GlusterFS startup commands on the server and client
terminals, I received no messages, so I understood that it had indeed
started successfully. However, when I checked on the client terminal to see
if there indeed was a /mnt/glusterfs directory, I was not able to find any.

If you run 'updatedb' and then 'locate glusterfs', does it find the
executable? Perhaps you didn't run 'make install' after you compiled?

Hello, I'm quite new to GlusterFS. Recently I tried to install GlusterFS
based on the instructions found in the Install and run GlusterFS v1.3 in
10mins
<http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Install_and_run_GlusterFS_v1.3_in_10m
ins>  page in the wiki. After installation, I tried to execute GlusterFS by
entering the following command: 'glusterfs --help', wherein I received the
message that the glusterfs command could not be found. 
Just in case it is needed, I am using Fedora 8 distro for GlusterFS, and I
have verified that I have installed all the needed requirements for
installing GlusterFS (the build process also produced no errors whatsoever).

Thanks in advance.
