[Gluster-users] geo-replication loops

Hi Rahul,

thanks for your reply.

That's great to hear!

I tried to configure a bidirectional geo-replication between 3
different nodes and this fail after starting the first backward
geo-replication with:

[2012-01-03 22:10:05.286315] I [gsyncd:289:main_i] <top>: syncing:
gluster://localhost:sam
ba-core-volume -> ssh://samba-ext2.local:/srv/gluster

line 27, in get_sys_vol
info
    raise RuntimeError("cannot work with multiple foreign masters")
RuntimeError: cannot work with multiple foreign masters

Is this the expected error when trying to use master/master
geo-replication with GlusterFS 3.2.5?

Thanks!
