Description Bharata B Rao 2012-09-25 09:31:42 UTC
Description of problem:

glfs_init() returns -1 with errno set to 0 in the following cases:
- when transport=unix is specified,
- when wrong (non-existing) volume name is specified
- when invalid volfile server is specified

glfs_init() could return 1 for failure cases (when volume is not yet started). Document this failure case in glfs.h

Comment 1 Bharata B Rao 2012-09-26 09:09:44 UTC
Case 3: glfs_init() returns 0 with errno 0 for transport=rdma. This is unexpected I suppose w/o proper rdma support.

Comment 2 Bharata B Rao 2012-11-28 05:49:00 UTC
Would this be resolved in GlusterFS-3.4 ? This has ugly effects on QEMU-GlusterFS, any invalid argument specified will lead to QEMU crash due to this bug.

Comment 3 Bharata B Rao 2013-08-20 15:19:21 UTC
Non-existing volume
-------------------
[root@bharata qemu]# gluster volume info test1
Volume test1 does not exist
[root@bharata qemu]# qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -nographic -smp 4 -m 2048 -drive file=gluster://bharata/test1/F17,if=virtio
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=gluster://bharata/test1/F17,if=virtio: Gluster connection failed for server=bharata port=0 volume=test1 image=F17 transport=tcp
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Invalid server
--------------
[root@bharata qemu]# qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -nographic -smp 4 -m 2048 -drive file=gluster://bharata-xxxx/test1/F17,if=virtio
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=gluster://bharata-xxxx/test1/F17,if=virtio: Gluster connection failed for server=bharata-xxxx port=0 volume=test1 image=F17 transport=tcp
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Comment 10 Niels de Vos 2014-04-17 13:12:20 UTC
This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-3.4.3, please reopen this bug report.

glusterfs-3.4.3 has been announced on the Gluster Developers mailinglist [1], packages for several distributions should already be or become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.

The fix for this bug likely to be included in all future GlusterFS releases i.e. release > 3.4.3. In the same line the recent release i.e. glusterfs-3.5.0 [3] likely to have the fix. You can verify this by reading the comments in this bug report and checking for comments mentioning "committed in release-3.5".
