Hi,
I have a small Proposal.
Can we add a FAQ page in
http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
This is can something similar like this:
link: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
// Present in the link: Read the Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ) -
your question may have been answered already.
FAQ should be mostly targeted towards "users". The same link can be
linked in other places if required.
OK, Now some topics in the FAQ can be:
============================================
#
About glusterfs:
#
Common problems and solutions :
DHT
AFR
Quota
Snapshotting
Geo-replication :
#a. While facing geo-rep related issues following output will
help:
gluster volume geo-replication <Master volume> <Slave
host>::<Slave volume> status
gluster volume geo-replication <Master volume> <Slave
host>::<Slave volume> status detail
#b. Geo-rep session goes to faulty state:
First Check the geo-rep session config file:
# gluster volume geo-replication <Master volume> <Slave
host>::<Slave volume> config
Look for config_file here, and check its contents.
In slave nodes, you can check logs in this location:
/var/log/glusterfs/geo-replication-slaves/
#c. Can we have more than one geo-rep session from one master
to multiple slaves?
Yes. You can have more than one geo-rep session from one
master.
#d. What should be the Slave volume configuration? Should it
same as Master volume?
Slave can have its own Volume configuration different from
Master volume.
Only requirement is it should be as big as Master volume.
This is verified while creating geo-rep session itself.
#e. Can we have Slave volume different than Gluster type ? For
example, can it be simple .
NO, This is NOT supported, It should be a gluster
volume type.
gluster NFS , NFS-ganesha
Installation issues

Getting Help and Reporting bugs :
Having the following information, while posting a query
to gluster-users helps in getting quicker solutions :)
gluster --version
gluster volume info
gluster volume status
Logs location:
<update various log location here>
Looking for existing bugs (OR) trying to post a Bug:

##
As you can see, I have updated with geo-rep related questions.
Gluster devels, QAs, and others can collaborate and update this FAQ
with
their own FAQs. :)
##
I think it is NOT necessary that every module needs to have some FAQs,
I just posted it here to get a overview of this.
Please let me know your suggestions and how to take this further.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Humble, Raghavendra - any suggestions on the repo where we can host
this FAQ?
As discussed in one of the gluster meeting, we can improve or come up
with a new doc here in this repo.
https://gluster.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Troubleshooting/
I think it is better to improve this Troubleshooting guide itself and
point this Link(as gluster-users-faq) as mentioned above.
This document need not be confined to "Troubleshooting" alone and have
general FAQ (along with other sections )
I will work with Humble on this.
Thanks,
Saravana
