[Gluster-users] volume create failed

[William Kwan]

May be it is confusing or I'm using the wrong naming conventions. what I'm actually testing is

Each node has one brick for each of glusterfs kvm1 and kvm2
So glusterfs kvm1 will have

    onode1:/data/glusterfs/kvm1/brick1

    onode2:/data/glusterfs/kvm1/brick2

while kvm2 will have two bricks

    onode1:/data/glusterfs/kvm2/brick1
    onode1:/data/glusterfs/kvm2/brick2
On both systems, "brick1" and "brick2" are mount points of xfs file systems

Now create volume kvm1 was successful while kvm2 is not.
volume create: kvm2: failed: /data/glusterfs/kvm2/brick1 or a prefix of it is already part of a volume

Thanks
W

Hi all,

Running 3.4.1 on Centos6.

I have this issue, I created two xfs filesystem on each of two hosts
onode1:/data/glusterfs/kvm1/brick1

onode2:/data/glusterfs/kvm1/brick2

onode1:/data/glusterfs/kvm2/brick1
onode1:/data/glusterfs/kvm2/brick2

The first volume was created successfully
# gluster volume create kvm1 replica 2 transport tcp onode1:/data/glusterfs/kvm1/brick1 onode2:/data/glusterfs/kvm1/brick2

When I attempt to create the second volume, I got 
# gluster volume create kvm2 replica 2 transport tcp onode1:/data/glusterfs/kvm2/brick1 onode2:/data/glusterfs/kvm2/brick2
volume create: kvm2: failed: /data/glusterfs/kvm2/brick1 or a prefix of it is already part of a volume

I'm not sure I follow what the error means.  The 2nd set of filesystems have to mount under a totally different directory structure?

Thanks in advance

Will
