I am not sure if the path you specified for the booster lib is correct.
Please check that path again. Did you specify a --prefix when running the build configure script?

Which release are you using?

What is the distro?

When following http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/BoosterConfiguration, I get the following error:

~$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/glusterfs/glusterfs-booster.so ./test
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/local/lib/glusterfs/glusterfs-booster.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

Comment 2 Shehjar Tikoo 2009-07-02 10:30:49 UTC

This error was being caused by certain logic in libtool that leads to the resulting booster binary being tagged as an executable. Consequently, a LD_PRELOAD on this binary would result in the error as reported by the user.

This problem is now fixed by a work-around that is already part of the mainline repo starting from commit: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gluster.git/commit/?id=a3ece0caa52ad2eacf8a8691aaca53295cde972f

and will also be part of the 2.0.3 release.
