[ovirt-users] Issue / strange behavior with GlusterFS nodes

[René Koch]

Hi,

I have the following oVirt setup:
2 storage hosts with GlusterFS (replicated) - will be extended to 4 
hosts (distributed-replicated)
4 virtualization hosts
1 datacenter
2 clusters (1 only for virtualization, 1 only for GlusterFS)

The strange thing is now:
One of the 2 GlusterFS hosts (these hosts and the Gluster volumes are 
managed by oVirt) fails to mount one of the storage domains, but I can 
mount it manually.

So the first question is: why should these hosts mount the storage 
domains? They are in a cluster without virtualization, so it's not 
possible to run virtual machines on these hosts. I think they try to 
mount the storage domains because the storage domains are attached to 
the data center, but imho the cluster should be checked as well if 
virtualization is enabled.

So I was thinking of moving the GlusterFS cluster to a new data center 
without storage domains, but this is impossible as Gluster volumes are 
created. The only possibility would be to remove the Gluster volume.

So do you have any idea how I can solve this issue? I mean the Gluster 
volume is working fine, but it's really disturbing that I get an error 
message every 5 minutes.

Thanks!
