 cat of /etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol from backup

[root at mseas-data glusterd]# cat /root/mseas_backup/etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol
volume management
    type mgmt/glusterd
    option working-directory /etc/glusterd
    option transport-type socket,rdma
    option transport.socket.keepalive-time 10
    option transport.socket.keepalive-interval 2
end-volume




Article you referenced is looking for the words "glusterfs-volgen" in a vol file. I have used locate and grep, but can find no such entry in any .vol files.


Thanks

Steve,

Can we see the vol file from the 2.x install and the output of df -h for
each of the bricks?

If the volume was created in a different order than before, then it is
expected you would be able to see the files only from the backend
directories and not from the client mount.
If this is the case, recreating the volume in the correct order should
show the files from the mount.
If the volume was recreated properly, make sure you have followed the
upgrade steps to go from versions prior to 3.1:
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.0_to_3.2_Upgrade_Guide

This would explain why the files can't be viewed from the client, but
the size discrepancy isn't expected if we see the expected output from
df for the bricks.
