Hi Philip,

Did you try installing libssl from source to meet the dependency?

Doesn't sound like the solution we need for a large cluster. We would like
to keep it simple and stupid. Squeeze has libssl version 0.9.8. Maybe you
can work with "Toby Corkindale" since he managed to create a deb for sq

 Today, we’re announcing the next generation of 
 GlusterFS,
 version 3.3. The release has been a year in the making and marks several
 firsts: the first post-acquisition release under Red Hat, our first major
 act as an openly-governed project and
 our first foray beyond NAS. We’ve also taken our first steps towards
 merging big data and unstructured data storage, giving users and developers
 new ways of managing their data scalability challenges.

 GlusterFS is an open source, fully distributed storage solution for the
 world’s ever-increasing volume of unstructured data. It is a software-only,
 highly available, scale-out, centrally managed storage pool that can be
 backed by POSIX filesystems that support extended attributes, such as
 Ext3/4, XFS, BTRFS and many more.

 This release provides many of the most commonly requested features
 including proactive self-healing, quorum enforcement, and granular locking
 for self-healing, as well as many additional bug fixes and enhancements.

 Some of the more noteworthy features include:

- Unified File and Object storage – Blending OpenStack’s Object
Storage API   with
GlusterFS provides simultaneous read and write access to data as files 
 or
as objects.
- HDFS compatibility – Gives Hadoop administrators the ability to
run MapReduce jobs on unstructured data on GlusterFS and access the data
with well-known tools and shell scripts.
- Proactive self-healing – GlusterFS volumes will now automatically
restore file integrity after a replica recovers from failure.
- Granular locking – Allows large files to be accessed even during
self-healing, a feature that is particularly important for VM images.
- Replication improvements – With quorum enforcement you can be
confident that  your data has been written in at least the configured
number of places before the file operation returns, allowing a
user-configurable adjustment to fault tolerance vs performance.

Hello everybody,

On a test machine with Squeeze, I added this at the apt source list :

deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

After the ususal apt-get update I did apt-get install libssl1.0.0 and then I 
installed with success the 3.3 version of Gluster.

Need to try now and to evaluate if it's acceptable in your production 
environment :-) Almost, it's a good solution for testing.

To be honnest, in my case it's not a priority to upgrade Gluster in my 
production environments which are each very stable, so I will wait Wheezy.

Best regards.

Michel

Hi Philip - I just realized that the released version is for Lenny, which is an 
older release. If we're going to support an older obsolete release, then it's 
reasonable to support the supported stable version. If you can help us support 
Squeeze, we would really appreciate that.

If nothing else, I suspect that semiosis (from #gluster) will be creating new 
.debs on his PPA archive:

2012-06-02 Thread John Mark Walker

Philip -

Gluster.org is only nominally a Red Hat operation. If you want better Debian 
support, you need to help us do it. Also, it's common for legacy distributions 
not to have support for brand new releases. You can expect Squeeze to support 
3.2.x, but not necessarily 3.3.x. I agree that this can be frustrating at 
times, but in those cases, it's better to compile from source anyway.

I think the package maintainer for Debian is on the list - perhaps he can shed 
some light. Which version of libssl is on Squeeze?

And finally, when you compiled libssl from source, did you install the source 
.deb so that it registered with the package database? If you compiled a 
tarball, did you specify an install directory when running ./configure? 
Compiling from source will by default place libraries into /usr/local/lib, and 
you probably need to run ldconfig before it will satisfy the dependency.

I used the el6 rpms from gluster.org


The rpms in the fedora/epel yum repo follow the fedora file system 
layout standard and as you note, you needed to move your .vol files to 
the correct location in this situation.
Not sure that really matters. The point is the 3.3.0 RPMs try to copy 
/etc/glusterd to /var/lib/glusterd during the upgrade process, and that 
doesn't work if /etc and /var/lib are not on the same filesystem. It 
wouldn't be so bad if it didn't even try to move the in the first place, 
but it does and it doesn't always work.


Or did I miss something?

Re: [Gluster-users] A very special announcement from Gluster.org

2012-06-01 Thread Jeff White

I had the same thing happen to me on RHEL6 with /var being it's own 
mount point.  All I had to do was copy /etc/glusterd to /var/lib/ as you 
did, run the remaining part of the RPM's script by hand, then rename my 
vol files back in place.


To get the RPM script: rpm -q --scripts glusterfs-server

Just run everything other than the first if block after you move the dir 
by hand.  Next, rename your vol files (move the .rpmsave ones to their 
real names): find /var/lib/glusterd/ -name '*.rpmsave'

For the record, I'm not sure that the fedora/epel rpms are any more or

rpms are the only really official gluster packages. (Unless you're 
paying for RHS, in which case there's a completely different answer.)


(And FWIW, starting with 3.3.0 the rpms from gluster.org will also 
follow the file system layout standard.)

2012-06-01 Thread Jeff Evans

Congratulations on the release of 3.3.0!
Very exciting times in the world of gluster right now.

I'm looking to upgrade from 3.2.6 to 3.3.0 on a RHEL5.8 system. 
I notice only RHEL6 RPM's are currently being made available.

Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere:

Will RHEL5 continue to be a supported platform for the 3.3 series?
If so, will RHEL5 rpms be made available?

Many thanks, Jeff Evans.

This post mentions that you should skip step 5 if installed using RPM. 
Is this also true for the debian/ubuntu packages? The debian packages 
appear a lot smaller than the ubuntu ones, is this expected?


I shall test the upgrade path on debian in a test environment, so I 
suppose I will find out :)

POSIX filesystems that support extended attributes, such as Ext3/4, XFS, BTRFS 
and many more.
This release provides many of the most commonly requested features including 
proactive self-healing, quorum enforcement, and granular locking for 
self-healing, as well as many additional bug fixes and enhancements.
Some of the more noteworthy features include:

• Unified File and Object storage – Blending OpenStack’s Object Storage API 
with GlusterFS provides simultaneous read and write access to data as files or 
as objects.
• HDFS compatibility – Gives Hadoop administrators the ability to run 
MapReduce jobs on unstructured data on GlusterFS and access the data with 
well-known tools and shell scripts.
• Proactive self-healing – GlusterFS volumes will now automatically restore 
file integrity after a replica recovers from failure. 
• Granular locking – Allows large files to be accessed even during 
self-healing, a feature that is particularly important for VM images.
• Replication improvements – With quorum enforcement you can be confident 
that your data has been written in at least the configured number of places 
before the file operation returns, allowing a user-configurable adjustment to 
fault tolerance vs performance.
