I have been trying to use libgfapi glusterfs support in oVirt but can't get it to work. After talks on IRC it seems I should apply a patch (http://gerrit.ovirt.org/33768) to enable libgf BUT I can't get it to work. Systems used: - hosts Centos7 or Fedora20 (so upto date qemu/libvirt/oVirt(3.5)) - glusterfs-3.6.1 - vdsm-4.16.0-524.gitbc618a4.el7.x86_64 (snapshot master 14-nov) - vdsm-4.16.7-1.gitdb83943.el7.x86_64 (official ovirt-3.5 vdsm, seems newer than master snapshot?? )
Just adding the patch to vdsm-4.16.7-1.gitdb83943.el7.x86_64 doesn't work, vdsm doesn't start anymore due to an error in virt/vm.py.
Q1: what is de exact status of libgf and oVirt. Q2: how do I test that patch?
Rebasing and applying patches could be tricky sometimes and if you got an error in virt/vm.py it is most likely because the patch didn't apply cleanly. I prepared a build (el6) here: https://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm-libgfapi/ In case you want to try it on fedora you just need to get the source rpm here: https://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm-libgfapi/source/ and rebuild it on fedora. Let me know if you have any problem. -- Federico
