[Gluster-users] Installing linux-vserver on a two node gluster AFR

[Amar Tumballi (bulde)]

Hi Edward,
 The problem here is libfuse takes the liberty to add the nodev, nosuid
option (if dev,suid is not specified) in later versions.

Currently I have committed a patch to solve this issue, as glusterfs
explicitly specifies, 'dev, suid' options. But with whatever release you are
trying, you may have to edit the sourecode a bit and compile to get it
working

open xlators/mount/fuse/src/fuse-bridge.c,
goto function 'init()'
add
   "-o", "dev", "-o", "suid",
to fuse_argv, and increment fuse_argc by 4 (from whatever value it has
there).

compile glusterfs, install, and you should be good to solve this problem.

Regards,
Amar
