[Gluster-users] autofs problem

Fri Oct 22 20:34:10 UTC 2010

Luis - 
I know we got you an answer offine but I still wanted to post this for users list - 

users -fstype=glusterfs :/etc/autofs_dfd/users-fuse.vol 
tps -fstype=glusterfs :/etc/autofs_dfd/tps-fuse.vol 

The ones above follow our 3.0.x syntax which are still honored. 

users -fstype=glusterfs sdffs33:/users 

This is our new 3.1 syntax that we now support. This is probably a 
slightly cleaner approach since it follows traditional NFS syntax but 
for Gluster native client mounts.

Luis - 
I'm not sure how it behaves with multiple volumes. Let me test that. 

Thanks, 

Craig

Hi Craig, 

what I am asking is how do you define which gluster volume to mount? do we need to distribute the gluster volume file? I'd like to use the fetch from server feature. if there are more than just one monster volume, how does it know which volume to mount? This seems to have changed in 3.1. 

351 mount -t glusterfs houfs35:/tps /glusterfsClient/tps/ 
352 mount -t glusterfs houfs35:/users /glusterfsClient/users 

glusterfs#houfs35:/tps on /glusterfsClient/tps type fuse (rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072) 
glusterfs#houfs35:/users on /glusterfsClient/users type fuse (rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072) 
[root at houfs33 ~]#

is there a way to use autofs with glusterfs in 3.1? how do you mount a specific volume?

We haven't written installation documents using yum because we can't 

always be sure the repo's are up to date and most users are more familiar 

with 'rpm -ivh'. I will investigate changing the installation documentation 

to use a local rpm and yum. 

Just FYI, it should also work with both `rpm -Uvh` and `rpm -ivh`. It 
just saves you the step to manually uninstall the old packages, 
because the package manager is smart enough to do that for you. 

Cheers, 

Bernard
