Bug 468726 – >=app-emulation/qemu-1.5 - add optional support for sys-cluster/glusterfs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Svenne Krap 2013-05-06 06:37:35 UTC]

It should be enough to depend on glusterfs and have --enable-glusterfs option to qemu's configure... 

Reproducible: Always

Have you tested this?

[Comment 2 Svenne Krap 2013-05-15 14:10:05 UTC]

Nah, seems to work only with the (as of yet) unreleased 3.4 version...

Tiziano,

Have you tested this? I'm looking for at least one tester first. Its non-trivial for someone to setup a glusterfs to test.

Not yet. We have several GlusterFS clusters running already. I'll bump the GlusterFS ebuild today or tomorrow and see that I can run some tests.

Well I added support in qemu-1.5.2-r1, can you test that when you get a chance? I included at least one glusterfs fix in my stable patchset and need to know if I need to include some more block layer fixes.

great, thanks!

I already started testing on one of our systems. Some documentation is here: http://www.stoney-cloud.org/index.php/Qemu_native_GlusterFS_integration

Unfortunately (and this is why I didn't report back yet) qemu doesn't come up when switching to using GlusterFS.

Is it possible you forgot to push to your overlay at cardoe.com? Because I don't see any updates there.

Works like a charm now. The missing piece was that one has to restart the volumes after changing the access permissions (server.allow-insecure).
