Description Eric 2015-03-10 16:53:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
The error that gluster refuses to continue on is “Setting extended attributes failed, reason: Operation not supported.” However, extended attributes is set for the dataset and the transport protocol used is samba.

So the Bricks look like this:
Brick0: localhost:/mnt/dump
Brick1: localhost:/dump

The results for creating a gluster mirror volume are the same if I have a separate VM running glusterfs with the zfs dataset mounted as the brick.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.6.2-1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install glusterfs on CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64
2. Start glusterd
3. gluster volume create gdump replica 2 transport tcp localhost:/mnt/zfs/dump localhost:/dump
4. Gluster error

Actual results:
Gluster error: Setting extended attributes failed, reason: Operation not supported.

Expected results:
Gluster volume create: Success

Additional info:
I want to use glusterfs to create a mirror for a working directory, rather than manually rsyncing changes across
Comment 1 Eric 2015-03-10 17:22:21 UTC 
I two separate instances of gluster running and results are the same.

[root@gfs ~]# gluster volume create gdump replica 2 gfs:/zfs/dump/ gfs2:/zfs/dump/
volume create: gdump: failed: Glusterfs is not supported on brick: gfs:/zfs/dump.
Setting extended attributes failed, reason: Operation not supported.

This is not a security bug, not going to fix this in 3.6.x because of

@amukherj I'm excited to try it again and hoping that this issue is fixed!
