Known Issues:

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

  1. gluster volume set server.allow-insecure on

  2. restarting the volume is necessary

     gluster volume stop
gluster volume start


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

     option rpc-auth-allow-insecure on


  4. 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.

• libgfapi clients calling glfs_fini before a successfull 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 successfull glfs_init.

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