[Gluster-users] glusterfs 3.1.0 disable-io-mode

[Raghavendra G]

Hi kostas,

You can track the progress of this bug at
http://bugs.gluster.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2173

Meanwhile you can disable direct-io-mode by directly starting glusterfs (instead of through mount command).

regards,

 From what i remember i tried and the following
mount -t glusterfs --direct-io-mode=off
mount -t glusterfs -o direct-io-mode=off
mount -t glusterfs --direct-io-mode=disable
mount -t glusterfs -o direct-io-mode=disable
mount -t glusterfs -o --direct-io-mode=disable
and others but didn't managed to solve the problem we had. Sorry but 
can't try it again to be 100% sure for the result of all the above since 
we removed gluster3.1.0 from theses 4 servers that we were testing :(
Maybe the problem was somewhere else to the systems (centos5.5) since 
3.0.5 that installed after that wasn't working right with xen and tap 
for disk files either, while 3.0.5 on debian servers is working just 
fine with xen and tap.
Probably has to do with the different kernel version as i mentioned to 
my previous mail (lenny has xen 2.6.26 and centos 2.6.18).
The other difference between the two setups was that on debian servers 
downloaded source and on centos servers downloaded the rpms for centos.
Thanks for your interest and your very nice software and sorry that 
can't give more details that maybe could help others too but as i wrote 
we removed from the centos (working fine on debian).
It's a bit difficult time these days for more retries :( , so will try 
again but later on centos 6 and new xen kernel.

Thank you very much,
Kostas

> in 3.1.x the options --disable-direct-io-mode and --enable-direct-io-mode are replaced by --direct-io-mode=[off/on]. So, I was interested in knowing whether you used the option --disable-direct-io-mode or --direct-io-mode.> From your previous mail, it seems you are trying to use --disable-direct-io-mode (which is not supported in 3.1.x). Hence please use --direct-io-mode and let us know whether the issue still persists.
