Hi team I have a special case here: I am trying to create a glusterFS volume from NFS mounts offered by third party. But it fails. The long story has as follows:
I have two 50 GB NFS volumes offered from two data centres: In DC1: sbox1.mydomain:/q_files IN DC2: sbox2.mydomain:/q_files I dont have even ssh access to those sboxes so I cannot install or do anything, but I am allowed to mount their directories with r/w over tcp. I have setup a pair of VM nodes running glusterFs. One node on DC1, one on DC2. On each of MY nodes, I mount the offered NFS partitions: The node in DC1 mybox1.mydomain.corp mounts the partition from DC1 machine: mount -t nfs sbox1.mydomain:/q_files /nfs The node in DC2 mybox2.mydomain.corp mounts the partition from DC2 machine: mount -t nfs sbox2.mydomain:/q_files /nfs I do the peering normally... root@ mybox1:~ # gluster peer probe mybox2.mydomain peer probe: success. Host mybox2.mydomain port 24007 already in peer list ok so far - no problem. Then I try to create a glusterFS volume from those mounts: root@ mybox1:~ # gluster volume create mynfs replica 2 mybox1.mydomain:/nfs mybox2.mydomain:/nfs force volume create: contentstore_nfs: failed: Glusterfs is not supported on brick: mybox1.mydomain:/nfs. Setting extended attributes failed, reason: Operation not supported. I get this message: Operation not supported. The question is obvious: Does GlusterFS supports such an operation? In other words, can I create a glusterFS volume from bricks created from NFS mounts? If it is feasible, can you please specify what am I doing wrong? Best Regards mike
