I recently upgraded one of my gluster clients to a Debian stretch based system and am not able to mount any gluster volumes from it. My gluster server runs 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 14.04. The Stretch system is running some flavor of 3.8.x. The error I get is 0-mgmt: failed to fetch volume file (key:/sata_temp)

Is this due to version incompatibility?

After reinstalling, the client is still unable to mount volume ssd_temp. This looks like a blocked port perhaps as mentioned by @Spooler: (on client)

# mount -t glusterfs 172.22.24.5:/ssd_temp ssd_temp/
Mount failed. Please check the log file for more details.

(on server)

# gluster volume status ssd_temp

It could be. However, the client is generally pretty good about connecting to older server versions (but not the other way around). In general, you should labor to ensure that your server and client versions match.

The best way to figure this out is the volume logs for that resource, both from the client and the server. Those can be found in the following locations (I'm assuming you're using the FUSE mounter. because it seems that way):

FUSE client log: /var/log/glusterfs/<mountpoint path extraction>.log
glusterd server log: /var/log/glusterfs/glusterd.log

You'll probably get the most data from your client log.

This kind of issue is also typically caused by an inability to contact a gluster server for your volume data. Make sure that you can get to these servers over the network using whatever name is in the volume details. You can see those details on the server by calling:

# gluster volume status <volume_name>

Which will print output similar to this:

# gluster volume status test-volume
Status of volume: test-volume
Gluster process                        Port    Online   Pid
------------------------------------------------------------
Brick arch0:/export/rep1                24010   Y       18474
Brick arch1:/export/rep2                24011   Y       18479
NFS Server on localhost                38467   Y       18486
Self-heal Daemon on localhost          N/A     Y       18491

On the "Brick:" lines, you'll see in this case a hostname (arch[0,1]). Whatever is listed as the brick address will be used by the client to connect to Gluster, and in many cases that involves the use of DNS to allow Gluster to use a different IP internally than the clients use to connect to it. No matter what, just make sure the clients can contact the server via that brick address on that port.

You upgraded an entire OS, so maybe a firewall was turned on/reset in some way.

  • Thanks. The upgraded system ended up with a botched fsck after reboot which ended up botching grub so I reinstalled. Errors are different now. I'll update the original post with them. – Server Fault Jun 14 '18 at 18:29
