It will be nice to share your experience in the mailing list.

 Hi Gilberto,

I think debian12 packages don't have https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/pull/4404/commits/c433a178e8208e1771fea4d61d0a22a95b8bc74b
Run on source and destination this command and try again:
sed -i 's/readfp/read_file/g' /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glusterfs/python/syncdaemon/gsyncdconfig.py

In my test setup where source and destinations are each a single debian 12 with a hackishl created gluster_shared_storage volume and executing the sed, I got:

# gluster volume geo-replication vol1 geoaccount at gluster2::georep create push-pem
Creating geo-replication session between vol1 & geoaccount at gluster2::georep has been successful

Hello there My testing was with proxmox 9 which has Debian 13.I tried with gluster 11.1 from Debian repo and then version 11.2 from git repo.I got statefile's name issue with both.Then I compiled the version 12dev and could create geo-replication session with success but got faulty status 
So that's it.

 Hi Gilberto,

I have no idea why my previous message was not sent (sorry about that).
I suspect it's a bug. If you have some script or ansible playbook for the setup, it could help me reproduce it locally.

I still don't get it, because with Debian BookWorm and Gluster 10, geo-rep works perfectly.It's something about Trixie and Gluster 11.x.

 And yes. With gluster 11.2 from github repo, the very some error: gluster vol geo VMS gluster3::VMS-REP create push-pem
 Please check gsync config file. Unable to get statefile's name
 geo-replication command failed 

 I had this problem a year ago, Aug 2024. I went rounds and rounds with Strahil for a week, trying to find why I couldn't cross the finish line of successful georep. It always ends in:

 Please check gsync config file. Unable to get statefile's name
 geo-replication command failed

 The volumes were set up properly, the commands for georep were done correctly, per guidelines, but georep was left forever in a state of Created, never Active.

 Finally I just gave up. I can't use gluster if it won't work with me. I found that gluster would not give enough adequate diagnostics to provide a (useful!) explanation of what is actually wrong. ________
