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 disable
