Description Joonas Vilenius 2015-01-21 23:09:56 UTC

Description of problem:
In the spirit of bug 1184626 i'm reporting that Debian doesn't either include the attr package as a dependency for the glusterfs-client (or -common?) causing warning message to be shown:

WARNING: getfattr not found, certain checks will be skipped..

As glusterfs depends heavily on the extended attributes perhaps the attr package should be depend on both server and client side to avoid unnecessary warnings and also to allow performing any operations over the bricks (debugging, resetting attributes, etc.).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Tested only with 3.6.1 on Debian Jessie (can't recall seeing this warning on 3.3. or 3.4 series)

How reproducible:
Easily and always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 3.6.1 from community-provided packages
2. mount -t glusterfs host:/volume /mountpoint

Actual results:
mount is successful with the following message:

WARNING: getfattr not found, certain checks will be skipped..

Expected results:
No warnings?

Additional info:

Comment 1 Kaleb KEITHLEY 2015-01-28 15:55:01 UTC

attr added as a dependency of the glusterfs-common sub-package in the

 https://github.com/semiosis/glusterfs-debian.git

repo used to build Ubuntu and Debian dpkgs. At this time only on the
{wheezy,jessie}-glusterfs-3.{56} branches.

Fix will take effect the next time packages are built for Debian.

In the mean time use the work-around of manually installing the attr pkg.
