[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.3.0 and VMware ESXi 5

[Simon Blackstein]

OK, figured this one out (my word this took some time....). Found an
attribute set on the fourth node after running through them again.

Back to work... after patching all nodes and removing/recreating the
volume, this now works for me. Definitely not simple and please, if we can
clean up volumes after a delete (remove .glusterfs dir and extra attributes
across all nodes) that would be tremendously useful.

I'm going to throw a bunch of VMware VMs on my new volume and try it out.

Recommendation for you, Fernando. I had to roll my own RPMs to get close to
consistency across all nodes. Basically:

- Download glusterfs-3.3.0.tar.gz, untar into its directory
- Replace the files from Anand's patch (
http://review.gluster.com/#change,3617)
- Re-tar up the file and run 'rpmbuild -ta glusterfs-3.3.0.tar.gz'
- You'll end up with RPMs in the rpmbuild/RPMS directory from which you can
scp to other nodes and bring them all up on the new version

You may need to do the same with the Fuse client and work through some
dependencies but it should work.

Many Thanks!

Simon
