Cannot mount a volume on a replicated dir server setup

[ggui...@gesa.com]

Hi,

 

I have successfully setup XtreemFS 1.4 with a 3x3 setup on CentOS 6.  All services are started and I can create a volume and I can see that it exists by viewing the MRC status pages.  My trouble starts when I attempt to mount the volume on a client.

 

I issue the command (testxtfs is the folder I am attempting to mount, command is issued in the parent folder):

 

mount.xtreemfs xtreemfs-dir1,xtreemfs,xtreemfs-dir3/testVolume testxtfs

 

And I receive an error of:

 

fuse: unknown option `xtreemfs'

 

I thought, well, maybe its because theres a dash in the hostnames, so I tried it with ip adresses and received the same error (but with the first specified ip as the "unknown option" host).

 

Am I missing something here?

 

Thanks in advance.

This is a known bug http://code.google.com/p/xtreemfs/issues/detail?id=267 and fixed in trunk, but there is no bug fix release available yet.

DIR/MRC replication is currently not a stable feature, and you will likely hit other bugs there. However, we are working on it and it should be ready towards end of the quarter. I am happy to keep you posted about its progress. Until then I suggest that you continue without it.
