Bug 288034 – Fuse with GLuster support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description tomas charvat 2009-10-07 11:04:28 UTC]

Distributed filesystem gluster needs patched Fuse. There is how to download patched version at http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/GlusterFS and how to install it.
However USE flag for our Fuse would be probably the best solution. Patch and patched version of fuse can be find at http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/ . How to compile and install it is well documented in gentoo doc.
Btw at the moment i have problem to compile it on Hardened gentoo.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wget http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/fuse-2.7.4glfs11.tar.gz
2. tar zxvf fuse-2.7.4glfs11.tar.gz
3. cd fuse-2.7.4glfs11.tar.gz
4. ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-kernel-module 
5. make install

[Comment 1 Alexey Shvetsov 2009-10-09 18:24:00 UTC]

hmm
well only thing that this patch doing is adding ~O_DIRECT to fuse filesystems =)
so it may be added but its not mandatory

[Comment 2 Alexey Shvetsov 2009-10-09 18:24:57 UTC]

Adding [e-mail] since fuse is their stuff

[Comment 3 Luca Barbato 2009-10-09 20:24:00 UTC]

let me repeat again that this isn't _NECESSARY_ for fuse...

Regarding Gentoo doc, it is necessary for Gluster.
Regarding my test, gluster hang on Gentoo. The only thing i do not have in line with Gentoo guide is patched Fuse. I did try Gluster on 4 hardened servers with the same result.

But of you believe, that patch is useless, then ok.

[Comment 5 Luca Barbato 2009-10-27 10:16:26 UTC]

Could you please give us your configuration and possibly tell me how it hangs?

I tested gluster 2 since the early rc and never had such problem with stock fuse.

[Comment 6 Richard Scott 2010-02-10 09:27:52 UTC]

There's already a patch for it:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265935

.... but nobody seems to be including it :-(

[Comment 7 Tim Harder 2010-10-08 00:08:46 UTC]

I'm closing this because I don't think it's an issue anymore with the latest glusterfs and fuse packages in the tree since fuse-2.8 removed the out-of-tree fuse module. Please reopen if it is.
