When attempting to install the gluster-core and other component rpms. [root@diesel ~]# rpm -ivh --test glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm --prefix=/usr warning: glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID cae81a29 error: package glusterfs-core is not relocatable /opt(default directory) is read-only making the package uninstallable. This affects the following packages. glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm glusterfs-debuginfo-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm glusterfs-fuse-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm glusterfs-geo-replication-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm glusterfs-rdma-3.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm
installing with relocate option instead of prefix - #rpm -ivh --relocate /=/rpmtest glusterfs-core-3.2.4-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm installs binary under a directory named "/rpmtest".

While, this is a work around. You end up with all the other files located in the target directory. Libraries won't be linked correctly, and paths need to be updated, init scripts fixed. Most other rpms respect the prefix option.
(In reply to comment #0) > > /opt(default directory) is read-only making the package uninstallable. The current packages and the ones from the Fedora maintainer do not install under /opt anymore. Please use the packages from http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/kkeithle/glusterfs/ instead.
