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

 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@gluster2::georep create
push-pem
Creating geo-replication session between vol1 & geoaccount@gluster2::georep has
been successful

Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov

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. ________
