Detecting that the volume was last handled by a previous version might be as simple as noting that the new property is not present. The version that this bug has been reported against, does not get any updates from the Gluster Community anymore. Please verify if this report is still valid against a current (3.4, 3.5 or 3.6) release and update the version, or close this bug. If there has been no update before 9 December 2014, this bug will get automatocally closed. It's been a while since I did testing, but I believe that 3.4.2 (and probably newer versions as well) will happily create and start a volume even if the bricks live on the root filesystem. For a testbed, such a setup is perfectly acceptable, so what I propose here would prevent *starting* a volume with bricks on the root filesystem, unless a volume property is set that says it's OK. The "getting started" instructions could include a step to set that property, with an explanation of what it does and why you might not want to use it on a production volume. GlusterFS 3.7.0 has been released (http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-May/021901.html), and the Gluster project maintains N-2 supported releases. The last two releases before 3.7 are still maintained, at the moment these are 3.6 and 3.5. This bug has been filed against the 3,4 release, and will not get fixed in a 3.4 version any more. Please verify if newer versions are affected with the reported problem. If that is the case, update the bug with a note, and update the version if you can. In case updating the version is not possible, leave a comment in this bug report with the version you tested, and set the "Need additional information the selected bugs from" below the comment box to "bugs". If there is no response by the end of the month, this bug will get automatically closed. GlusterFS 3.4.x has reached end-of-life. If this bug still exists in a later release please reopen this and change the version or open a new bug. |
