[Gluster-users] 3.2.5 client issues...

[JJ]

Hello gluster-users:

System:
glusterfs 3.2.5 from source
Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS / i686 in a Vbox VM
2.6.32-38-generic kernel.

mounting with either
"mount -t /usr/local/etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol /mnt/directory" or
"mount -t glusterfs IPA.DDR.ESS:/cloud_c9 /mnt/directory"
doesn't error out UNTIL I start poking around which usually ends with
"Transport endpoint is not connected"

mount shows:
/usr/local/etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol on /mnt/cloud_c9 type 
fuse.glusterfs (rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072)

or
IPA.DDR.ESS:/cloud_c9 on /mnt/cloud_c9 type fuse.glusterfs 
(rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072)

I usually do a df -h here and verify the remote filesystem, but that
fails with "Transport endpoint is not connected"

On the server, I can see
Hostname: c9kicksass <-- (this is "new" since trying out the client)
Uuid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
State: Establishing Connection (Disconnected)

Tired of all that, I ran a mount -o log-file option
and that output is

I checked the following sites briefly:
http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glustermc/1.0/Documentation/User_Guide/html/index.html 

http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Client_Installation_and_Configuration
http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2_Native_Client_Guide

but I tend to speed-read through stuff, so I may have missed the obvious.

Thank you for your time.
