Hi, i am trying to use snapshot feature using gluster 3.6.1, i am not sure how i can make the client see the snapshot.
i created a replica volume on 2 servers, the bricks were mounted from thin lvm volumes: gluster vol create gvol1 replica 2 storage1:/gluster-server/mount1/brick1 storage2:/gluster-server/mount1/brick1 i also created a snapshot: gluster snapshot create gvol1-snap1 gvol1 it returns success, i can see the snapshot using: gluster snapshot list gluster snapshot info gvol1-snap1 ( shows Status started ) gluster snapshot status gvol1-snap1 ( Shows brick path /var/run/gluster/snaps/XX on both storage servers ) i can also see the snapshot with preserved data mounted in /var/run/gluster/snaps/XX 1) Now how do i access this snapshot from a client ? if i try to run mount -t glusterfs storage1:gvol1-snap1 /gluster-client/gvol1-snap1 this does not work, it does not give an error but the mount is empty 2) i also tried using uss ( user servicable snapshots ) gluster volume set gvol1 features.uss enable returned success but i do not see the .snap dirs in my main mount. Any help very much appreciated /Maged
