Description of problem: When trying to enable quota, the following message appears :

quota: Could not start quota auxiliary mount
Quota command failed. Please check the cli logs for more details

This issue is only seen on Debian (and derivatives). The RPM packages create the /var/run/gluster directory.

The fix for this should be two-fold:
1. cli-cmd-volume.c:gf_cli_create_auxiliary_mount() should create the dir if it
   is missing
2. 'make install' should create the /var/run/gluster (or other ./configure'd) dir

Actually, gf_cli_create_auxiliary_mount() is probably the wrong place for the fix. It is up to the bits of the for the start of the quota process which uses this dir.

The change for mainline has not been posted/merged yet. I'm preparing a beta for glusterfs-3.5.3 without this change. Hopefully a fix will land in time for glusterfs-3.5.4.

This is still a problem in 3.7.0.

readv on /var/run/gluster/quotad.socket failed

--- Additional comment from Richard on 2015-05-20 06:19:26 EDT ---

confusing thing is that file exists:

$ ls -al /var/run/gluster/quotad.socket
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 May 20 10:52 /var/run/gluster/quotad.socket

There were no patches submitted in time for the glusterfs-3.5.6 release that should resolve this bug. This bug report is moved for tracking to the glusterfs-3.5.7 release, submitting patches/backports is very much appreciated.

Hi Richard,

If file '/var/run/gluster/quotad.socket' doesn't exists then open should have failed.
readv on /var/run/gluster/quotad.socket failed could be a different issue.

could you provide the complete log information?

Thanks,
Vijay

I'm sorry but I don't use GlusterFS any more... I gave up as it had too many issues for my use. However, from memory I don't think this is an issue with the newer versions of the software so you could probably close this bug report as 'fixed'?

Problem exists in Glusterfs 3.5.7 in Ubuntu

Hi,

We are not able to reproduce the problem with glusterfs 3.5.7 in Ubuntu. Enabling quota worked fine without any errors for us. May I know which version of Ubuntu are you using ? Please let us know if there is a different way to reproduce this issue. Also, it would be helpful if you could mail us the complete log details(to mselvaga).

I use the GlusterFS Packages from the offical PPA @ https://launchpad.net/~gluster since Glusterfs 3.2. or 3.3 on Ubuntu 14.04.

Used Quota the first time last week. Had to create the directorys by hand to get it work.

I'm afraid the logs are not available anymore but its the same error like in the initial bugreport. Found it while googling for the same error.

Hi,

Thanks for your inputs. Sorry, it was my mistake. I ran with some old binaries. I am able to reproduce the issue now. 

I have fixed the issue and a patch[1] has been sent upstream. You could expect the fix in the next upcoming minor release of 3.5.
