Hi,

Nothing.  I tried the move /a/foo to /a/tmp.  I then tar'd it back.
Nothing on the other side.  The two machines say that they have a
working handshake and they are connected.  Is there something better
than just --debug?  Should I truss the process?

Thank you,

P.



OK, further information.  I mounted the empty directory /a/foo.  I then
started up glusterfsd -f simpleafr /mnt/foo --debug

At that point, I tar'd everything into the directory.  Things started
flying by in the logs as each file was loaded into /mnt/foo.  They
nicely appeared in /a/foo.  I'm assuming this is information is now
under gluster control, correct?

Now, how do I get the replication between servers to work?

Should I use the same command line to get the information on the other
side?  That is, mounting the /a/foo directory through FUSE onto
/mnt/foo?

This seems to be where I should be going, but this is not as simple as
I, initially, thought.

Hi,

Well, I'm working forward on these things and getting further along,
however....

I managed to get everything under control on one machine, but the same
routine on the other side did nothing more then setup a similar
structure.  Although the machines have connectivity, according to their
logs and the --debug flag, I don't see anything propagating from one
side to the other.

I have this:

Machine 1

/a/tmp
/a/mnt  both have about 160 MB 

Machine 2

/a/tmp
/a/mnt  both are empty

This is my afr.vol file on both machines.  Should it differ in any way?
That is, should my definitions of machine 1 or machine 2 or the order
anywhere be reversed?

volume posix
        type storage/posix
        option directory /var/asl/freenas
end-volume

volume brick
        type features/locks
        subvolumes posix
end-volume

volume machine01
        type protocol/client
        option transport-type tcp
        option remote-host 10.1.1.1
        option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume

volume machine02
        type protocol/client
        option transport-type tcp
        option remote-host 10.1.1.2
        option remote-subvolume brick end-volume

volume home
        type cluster/afr
        option read-subvolume `hostname`
        subvolumes machine01 machine02
end-volume

volume server
        type protocol/server
        option transport-type tcp
        subvolumes brick home
        option auth.addr.home.allow *
        option auth.addr.brick.allow *
end-volume

Thank you,

P.
