Hi,

I am just looking through my logs and am seeing a lot of entries of the form:

[2015-03-16 16:02:55.553140] I 
[glusterd-handler.c:3530:__glusterd_handle_status_volume] 0-management: 
Received status volume req for volume wiki
[2015-03-16 16:02:55.561173] E 
[glusterd-utils.c:5140:glusterd_add_inode_size_to_dict] 0-management: tune2fs 
exited with non-zero exit status
[2015-03-16 16:02:55.561204] E 
[glusterd-utils.c:5166:glusterd_add_inode_size_to_dict] 0-management: failed to 
get inode size

Having had a rummage I *suspect* it is because gluster is trying to get the 
volume status by querying the superblock on the filesystem for a brick volume.  
However this is an issue as when the volume was created it was done so in the 
form:

root@gfsi-rh-01:/mnt# gluster volume create gfs1 replica 2 transport tcp \
                                         gfsi-rh-01:/srv/hod/wiki \
                                         gfsi-isr-01:/srv/hod/wiki force

Where the those paths to the bricks are not the raw paths but instead are paths 
to the mount points on the local server.

Volume status returns:
gluster volume status wiki
Status of volume: wiki

Task Status of Volume wiki
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no active volume tasks

Which is what I would expect.

Interestingly to check my thoughts:

# tune2fs -l /srv/hod/wiki/
tune2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
tune2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while 
trying to open /srv/hod/wiki/
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

Does what I expect as it is checking a mount point and is what it looks like 
gluster is trying to do.

But:

# tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/bricks-wiki
tune2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Filesystem volume name:   wiki
Last mounted on:          /srv/hod/wiki
Filesystem UUID:          a75306ac-31fa-447d-9da7-23ef66d9756b
Filesystem magic number:  0xEF53
Filesystem revision #:    1 (dynamic)
Filesystem features:      has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype 
needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg 
dir_nlink extra_isize
Filesystem flags:         signed_directory_hash
Default mount options:    user_xattr acl
Filesystem state:         clean
<snipped>

This leaves me with a couple of questions:

Is there any way that I can get this sorted in the gluster configuration so 
that it actually checks the raw volume rather than the local mount point for 
that volume?

Should the volume have been created using the raw path /dev/mapper/.....   
rather than the mount point?

Or should I have created the volume (as I *now* see in the RedHat Storage Admin 
Guide) - under a sub directrory directory below the mounted filestore (ie:  
/srv/hod/wiki/brick ?

If I need to move the data and recreate the bricks it is not an issue for me as 
this is still proof of concept for what we are doing, what I need to know 
whether doing so will stop the continual log churn.

Many thanks

Paul
