Known Issues:

  • The following configuration changes are necessary for 'qemu' and 'samba vfs plugin' integration with libgfapi to work seamlessly:

  • gluster volume set server.allow-insecure on

  • restarting the volume is necessary

    gluster volume stop <volname> gluster volume start <volname>

  • Edit /etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol to contain this line:

    option rpc-auth-allow-insecure on

  • restarting glusterd is necessary

    service glusterd restart

More details are also documented in the Gluster Wiki on the Libgfapi with qemu libvirt page.

  • For Block Device translator based volumes open-behind translator at the client side needs to be disabled.

      gluster volume set <volname> performance.open-behind disabled
    
  • libgfapi clients calling glfs_fini before a successful glfs_init will cause the client to hang as reported here. The workaround is NOT to call glfs_fini for error cases encountered before a successful glfs_init. This is being tracked in Bug 1134050 for glusterfs-3.5 and Bug 1093594 for mainline.

  • If the /var/run/gluster directory does not exist enabling quota will likely fail (Bug 1117888).
