[Gluster-users] Problem creating volume

[Jeff Williams]

Ok, I found the issue in the end, with a little help from:

http://joejulian.name/blog/glusterfs-path-or-a-prefix-of-it-is-already-part-of-a-volume/

So it appears that glusterfs sets an attribute on the path that it adds as a volume. This is nice, but could it remove it again if the volume creation fails?

Also, it would be great is the volume create command gave a message like:

srv14:/content/sg13/vd00 or a prefix of it is already marked as part of a volume (extended attribute trusted.glusterfs.volume-id exists on /content/sg13/vd00)

So we could be pointed in the right direction.
