Fumble fingered accidental send...
From: Bill Dossett Sent: 09 April 2015 11:33 To: users@ovirt.org Subject: gluster and multipath Hi, Just got very confused trying to add create an additional brick on my gluster node (I had created one yesterday and all was fine0 I had already created a partition on my /dev/sdb called sdb1 But when I tried mkfs.xfs (I am using xfs as that was in the example I was following - if LVM or something else would be better I am open to suggestions!) It said /dev/sdb1 no such file or directory - which confused me as this worked yesterday. I deleted the partition recreated it and tried and then it said that the device was busy. It appears that multipathd is the culprit... but what I am struggling with is why it worked yesterday?? I may have created the partition before I pushed the gluster install to it from the ovirt-engine? And does that install multipathd and it is now grabbing my devices? It is the only thing I can think of. And if that is the case - I guess I have to blacklist these devices in multipath.conf while I create the partitions? And reboot and then remove the blacklist and reboot - seems a bit clunky, is there a better way to add partitions and bricks? Or I am just in a vortex wormhole of misunderstanding and grasping at stars to try and pull myself out ? Thankyou for any advice - especially as this may not be so ovirt or a question, but it's what I am working on.
