Known Issues:

• The following configuration changes are necessary for 'qemu' and 'samba vfs plugin' integration with libgfapi to work seamlessly:

  1. gluster volume set server.allow-insecure on

  2. restarting the volume is necessary

     gluster volume stop <volname>
     gluster volume start <volname>
     

  3. Edit /etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol to contain this line:

     option rpc-auth-allow-insecure on
     

  4. restarting glusterd is necessary

     service glusterd restart
     

  More details are also documented in the Gluster Wiki on the Libgfapi with qemu libvirt page.

• For Block Device translator based volumes open-behind translator at the client side needs to be disabled.

      gluster volume set <volname> performance.open-behind disable
