Well, I tried both of the following: 1. Having only a boot partition and a PV for the OS that does not take up the entire disk, and then specifying "sda" in Hosted Engine Setup. 2. Having not only a boot partition and a PV for the OS, but also an empty (and not formatted) /dev/sda3 PV that I created with fdisk. Then, specfying "sda3" in Hosted Engine Setup.
Both attempts resulted in errors like this: failed: [centerpoint.ad.depaulo.org] (item=/dev/sda3) => {"failed": true, "failed_when_result": true, "item": "/dev/sda3", "msg": " Device /dev/sda3 not found (or ignored by filtering).\n", "rc": 5} It seems like having gluster bricks on the same disk as the OS doesn't work at all. I am going to buy separate OS SSDs. -Mike On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 6:22 AM, Mike DePaulo <mikedep...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 9:00 AM, knarra <kna...@redhat.com> wrote: >> On 05/07/2017 04:48 PM, Mike DePaulo wrote: >>> >>> Hi.
