[Gluster-users] Failed to Establish Geo-replication Session Please check gsync config file. Unable to get statefile's name

Sat Nov 22 19:17:39 UTC 2025

Hi

I had succeeded in creating the session with the other side.
But I got a Faulty status
I the gsyncd.log I got this:

Popen: command returned error [{cmd=rsync -aR0 --inplace --files-from=-
--super --stats --numeric-ids --no-implied-dirs --existing --xattrs --acls
--ignore-missing-args . -e ssh -oPasswordAuthentication=no
-oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /var/lib/glusterd/geo-replication/secret.pem
-p 22 -oControlMaster=auto -S
/tmp/gsyncd-aux-ssh-2j2yeofa/5afb71218219138854b3c5a8eab300a4.sock
-caes128-ctr gluster3:/proc/2662/cwd}, {error=12}]

This also happens with Gluster 12dev.

After compiling the gluster 12dev, I successfully create a geo-rep session
but get the error above.

Any clue?

Best Regards
