Description of problem: Updating from glusterfs3.4.2 to gluster3.5.3, I am specifying the number of attempts in the /etc/fstab. On gluster3.5.3 the syntax is no longer valid and considered obsolete. I am unable to find the correct version of how to use that in the examples of man mount.glusterfs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glusterfs-3.5.3-1 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. in /etc/fstab, I have a filesystem mount of: omhz9999:/khoi /mnt/khoi glusterfs _netdev,defaults,backup-volfile-servers=omhz111,fetch-attempts=5 0 0 2. mount -a 3. [2014-12-04 20:40:01.025911] W [glusterfsd.c:1493:parse_cmdline] 0-glusterfs: obsolete option '--volfile-max-fetch-attempts or fetch-attempts' was provided Actual results: man mount.glusterfs does not have any examples of this feature. Expected results: expecting examples of how to use this feature that was accepted in glusterfs-3.4.2-3 Additional info:
looking over /sbin/mount.glusterfs I found: ## Place-holder backward compatibility "backupvolfile-server") backupvolfile_server=$value ;; "fetch-attempts") volfile_max_fetch_attempts=$value ;; ## End backward compatibility So i guess in this version of glusterfs-3.5.3-1 its not ready for it yet.
Need to check why --volfile-max-fetch-attempts has been marked obsolete, and update the documentation to mention its replacement option.
This bug is getting closed because the 3.5 is marked End-Of-Life. There will be no further updates to this version. Please open a new bug against a version that still receives bugfixes if you are still facing this issue in a more current release.
