[Gluster-users] volume creation safe on existing volume?

2014-12-09 Thread Geoff Galitz

Hi.

If one were to use the volume creation and start commands on an existing 
volume, would that be safe and leave the currently existing volume in a good 
state with all data intact?  For example, if an automation script tries to 
re-create a volume that already exists.

[Gluster-users] GMC, ssh and rrd

2012-05-17 Thread Geoff Galitz



Hi.

The current 1.0.0a release of GMC on Centos has an issue where calls to  
retreive rrd data via SSH fail because a tty is required for such a call,  
but the GMC does not force tty allocation.  What is the recommended way  
around that?

[Gluster-users] avoiding split brains

2012-05-10 Thread Geoff Galitz



Here is basic question:

Are we more likely to avoid a split brain scenario if we have more than 2  
bricks total?  IOW, one brick on at least three servers or more?


Thanks.
-Geoff

Re: [Gluster-users] [3.3 beta3] When should the self-heal daemon be triggered?

2012-05-03 Thread Geoff Galitz



I then ran the command:
gluster volume heal testvol

After I ran that, there was some activity, and now all the files were  
populated.



Was that supposed to happen automatically, eventually, or am I missing  
something about how the self-heal daemon works?




The self-heal daemon triggers a crawl once every 600 seconds. If you  
wait out that interval, you should be able to see self-heals happening  
automatically. Else you can trigger it explicitly the way you did.




As a follow-up question to that: does this all apply to gluster 3.2.4  
also?  And if you manually trigger a self-heal (via doing a find + stat as  
some of us were originally trained) multiple times within a 10 minute  
window, will that cause a problem?

[Gluster-users] connection refused errors

2012-04-24 Thread Geoff Galitz



Hi.

I am seeing lots of these messages:

[root@prod-forum01.ma01 glusterfs]# tail -f etc-glusterfs-glusterd.vol.log
[2012-04-24 09:19:04.103241] E [socket.c:2080:socket_connect]

0-management: connection attempt failed (Connection refused)


My cluster is also not so healthy.  It has two bricks configured as  
replicated, but when brick2 crashes (full root filesystem, for example)  
everything seems to go offline.  Related?


Thanks.

Re: [Gluster-users] Fuse problem

2009-08-11 Thread Geoff Galitz


  I have fuse.x86_64 2.7.4-1.el5.rf installed but:
  # modprobe fuse
  FATAL: Module fuse not found.
 
 
 That is the userland part of fuse.  There is also a kernel module that
 you will need to get and install.  I'm guessing you have yum since this
 appears to be a RHEL 5 machine so try a 'yum search fuse' to see if you
 can find the name of the kernel module.  It escapes me at the moment,
 which is why I suggest the yum search.


You are looking for the dkms-fuse package, available over yum.  You may
need to go to rpmforge to get it.
