[Gluster-users] Mounting issue, glusterfs vs mount.glusterfs, locale issue. I RTFM'd, but still a glitch

[Nicolas Ecarnot]

Hi,

I'm discovering glusterfs and try to see if it could fit our needs.

I installed two nodes running gluster 3.6.1, and a client using 3.6.0.

I'm aware of the bug about the locale, preventing mounting a volume :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157107
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1117951

and I thought I knew the workaround :
https://www.mail-archive.com/gluster-users@gluster.org/msg18183.html

but what is puzzling me is what I observe :

env -i LC_NUMERIC="C" /usr/sbin/glusterfs --volfile-id=glvol00 
--volfile-server=serv-gl-adm1 /mnt

-> mounting OK

env -i LC_NUMERIC="C" mount -t glusterfs serv-gl-adm1:/glvol00 /mnt
Mount failed. Please check the log file for more details.

-> mounting FAILING

According to
https://www.mail-archive.com/gluster-users@gluster.org/msg18193.html
both commands should work...

Precise comparisons of the mnt.log file does not show anything obvious, 
both ways are running strictly the same, but last one is failing with no 
reason.
