[Gluster-users] Gluster client can't connect to Gluster volume

Hi, All:

I've built a Gluster-based storage cluster on a pair of CentOS 5.7 (i386) VM's. The nodes are using Gluster 3.2.6 (from source) and the host is using Gluster 3.0.0 (from the Mageia package repositories):

[eric at node1 ~]$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/gluster --version
glusterfs 3.2.6 built on May  3 2012 15:53:02

[eric at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep glusterfs
glusterfs-common-3.0.0-2.mga1
glusterfs-client-3.0.0-2.mga1
glusterfs-server-3.0.0-2.mga1
libglusterfs0-3.0.0-2.mga1

None of the systems (i.e., neither  the two storage nodes nor the client) can connect to Port 6996 of the cluster (node1.example.com & node2.example.com) but the two storage nodes can mount the shared volume using the Gluster helper and/or NFS:

[eric at node1 ~]$ sudo /sbin/lsmod | grep fuse

[eric at node1 ~]$ sudo /sbin/modprobe fuse

[eric at node1 ~]$ sudo /sbin/lsmod | grep fuse
fuse                   49237  0 

[eric at node1 ~]$ sudo mount -t glusterfs node1:/mirror-1 /mnt

[eric at node1 ~]$ sudo grep gluster /etc/mtab 
glusterfs#node1:/mirror-1 /mnt fuse rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072 0 0

...but the host system is only able to connect using NFS:

[eric at localhost ~]$ sudo glusterfs --debug -f /tmp/glusterfs.vol /mnt

I've read through the Troubleshooting section of the Gluster Administration Guide and the Gluster User Guide but can't seem to resolve the problem. (See my post on the Mageia Forum for all the troubleshooting details: https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2358&p=17517)

What might be causing this?

TIA,
