Brock, the glusterfs 3.4.2 packages do not suffer from this. You had some other problem but refused my offer of support to find out what it was. Please do not spread this FUD.
Ludwig, please use the upstream PPA for the latest GlusterFS packages: https://launchpad.net/~semiosis/+archive/ubuntu-glusterfs-3.4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu High Availability Team, which is subscribed to glusterfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876648 Title: Unable to mount local glusterfs volume at boot Status in “glusterfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Mounting glusterfs volumes from localhost in fstab does not work because the mounts are started before the glusterfs-server daemon. The problem is that upstart runs mountall before it runs the /etc/rc2.d/S20glusterfs-server initscript, so when the mount is tried it fails because there is not yet any glusterfs-server running on localhost. To reproduce (as root): apt-get install glusterfs-server glusterfs-client gluster volume create test <eth0-IP>:/var/tmp gluster volume start test mkdir /media/test echo "localhost:test /media/test glusterfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab shutdown -r now After rebooting, the new volume will not be mounted. However, once the system has started and glusterfs-server daemon is running, doing a 'mount -a' will work to mount the volume (confirming that the volume & fstab config are correct.) Solution: The solution is to replace the glusterfs-server initscript with a proper upstart job which will start the glusterfs-server daemon before the glusterfs mounts are tried by mountall. I have contributed the necessary upstart job upstream to the glusterfs project and it is included in the development source tree under extras/Ubuntu/glusterd.conf. https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/extras/Ubuntu/glusterd.conf To include this file in the glusterfs-server binary package, remove the debian/glusterfs-server.init file from the source package and add that upstart job to it as debian/glusterfs-server.upstart.
