[ovirt-users] unable to set group on volume

[Joel Diaz]

Hi Kasturi,



Yes the ‘/var/lib/glusterd/virt’ was missing from my system.



I’m running ovirt on a RHEL - 7 - 3.1611.el7.centos on a physical machine.



The mistake is due to inexperience on my part. I stated earlier that I
completely removed glusterfs and reinstalled it in order to recreate the
‘/var/lib/glusterd/virt’. The way I was uninstalling and reinstalling
gluster must have been incorrect.



I ran ‘rpm -qa |grep gluster’ to get a list of the gluster components
installed. I then proceeded to remove each one on the list. Then I ran a
‘yum install glusterfs* vdsm-gluster’ since I’m not sure which rpm provides
the ‘/var/lib/glusterd/virt’ file.  I’m not sure if this installs too many
components but after that, the ‘/var/lib/glusterd/virt’ was present on my
the system. I was able to proceed normally after that.



Thanks for taking the time to engage in my question,



Joel
