Description of problem: Basically our glusterd service would not start on Ubuntu 14.04. Logs kept saying some old; http://paste.ubuntu.com/23483365 Management volume was same as 7 other machines that were online in our network. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gluster 3.8.5 How reproducible: Okay so the issue we found that in this servers /var/lib/glusterd/peers file for another server, there was a blank space line. Whilst this existed, it would not start the service. We have no idea where this came from suddenly, service had been working since the upgrade to 3.8.5 5 days ago. Expected results: If there is a commented line in these files or a blank space, it not to fail starting the service. Additional info: @JoeJulian advised to lodge a bug after I managed to fix it
Basically when I did a cat /var/lib/glusterd/peers/* It looked like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/23483689/
I changed it to look like; uuid=01639c5d-0506-4083-b9d3-1176f2dcb912 state=3 hostname1=cb-per-04 hostname2=192.168.0.204 uuid=02c307e9-e57a-4d53-83ee-a5c768e30d6e state=3 hostname1=cb-per-05 uuid=0dff3901-c0a4-493b-b591-a736d50bc8d3 state=3 hostname1=cb-per-07 uuid=11862aef-dbf8-423a-8056-12302aa7dfb6 state=3 hostname1=cb-per-09 uuid=12578c81-3172-4719-b86b-122f82f6be8e state=3 hostname1=cb-per-06 uuid=62522617-7a2a-4a9f-80cc-5906272079b5 state=3 hostname1=cb-per-02 uuid=c06cdd58-ea98-46c2-aab6-b82bcbeab46a state=3 hostname1=cb-per-03 uuid=fbf0facc-2005-48a3-8291-3f834bab3d80 state=3 hostname1=cb-per-08
