As a result of using +a debian initscript to start glusterd, glusterfs mounts in fstab are tried before +the glusterd service is running. In the case where the client is also a server +and the volume is mounted from localhost, the mount fails at boot time. To +correct this we need to launch glusterd using upstart and block the glusterfs +mounting event until glusterd is started. + +The glusterfs-server.conf file contains the necessary configuration for upstart to +manage the glusterd service. It should be placed in /etc/init/glusterfs-server.conf +on Ubuntu systems, and then the old initscript /etc/init.d/glusterd can be +removed. An additional upstart job, mounting-glusterfs.conf, is also required +to block mounting glusterfs volumes until the network interfaces are available. +Both of these upstart jobs need to be placed in /etc/init to resolve the issue. + +Starting with Ubuntu 14.04, Trusty Tahr, these upstart jobs will be included +with the glusterfs-server and glusterfs-client packages in the Ubuntu +universe repository. + +This affects all versions of glusterfs on the Ubuntu platform since at least +10.04, Lucid Lynx. |
