[Gluster-users] problems with geo-replication on 3.7.4

[ML mail]

That's right, the earlier error I've posted with ZFS actually only appeared during the setup of the geo replication and does not appear anymore. In fact ZFS does not have any inodes so I guess you would need to adapt the GlusterFS code to check if the FS is ZFS or not.

Now regarding the "/nonexistent/gsyncd: No such file or directory" I have manually fixed it by editing the gsyncd_template.conf file on all nodes, I guess creating a symlink as you suggest would have also worked. Shouldn't this work out of the box btw??


Another informational error message I have seen in the log file on my slave (/var/log/glusterfs/geo-replication-slaves) is the following:

[2015-09-21 10:21:12.646161] I [dict.c:473:dict_get] (-->/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glusterfs/3.7.4/xlator/system/posix-acl.so(posix_acl_setxattr_cbk+0x26) [0x7fa8a24e7166] -->/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glusterfs/3.7.4/xlator/system/posix-acl.so(handling_other_acl_related_xattr+0xb0) [0x7fa8a24e70f0] -->/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglusterfs.so.0(dict_get+0x93) [0x7fa8a96c9093] ) 0-dict: !this || key=system.posix_acl_default [Invalid argument]

It's appearing every minute and wanted to check if this is a bug maybe? or how bad is it?

Finally I have set up everything like mentioned in the github documentation using the mountbroker and a separate user for replication but still when I run a "gluster volume geo-replication status" I see "root" under the "SLAVE USER". Is this normal???

So to resume, I've got geo-replication setup but it's quite patchy and messy and does not run under my special replication user I wanted it to run under.

Do you meant to say , the earlier error "could not find (null) to 
getinode size for data"  is gone and now you are getting this error.

check whether these steps helps you :

Please share the complete log , if you still face any issues.

Also, report back if it helps, so that we can fix it here.
