Description Justin Clift 2014-02-15 12:45:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

  When installing Gluster to a custom location using --prefix, installation
  fails because make install tries placing mount.glusterfs in /sbin/ (without
  the prefix).

  Making install in crypt
  Making install in src
   /bin/sh ../../../../libtool --quiet  --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c   crypt.la '/home/jc/git_repos/glusterfs/../out/lib/glusterfs/3git/xlator/encryption'
  libtool: install: warning: relinking `crypt.la'

  Making install in utils
   /usr/bin/install -c mount.glusterfs '/sbin'

  Every time unfortunately.

  2. $ ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-debug --prefix=$PWD/../out
  3. $ make all
  4. $ make install


Additional info:

  This happens on CentOS 6.5.  Haven't tried on Fedora yet.

This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions
Comment 7 Amar Tumballi 2018-09-18 09:30:55 UTC 
/sbin/mount.glusterfs has to be installed in /sbin for being effective. We also have an option to install it outside for this to succeed:   

`--with-mountutildir=DIR mount helper utility in DIR [/sbin]`
