Test the GlusterFS server

Building

nxc build -f g5k-nfs-store

This time two nodes.

export $(oarsub --project lab-2025-compas-nxc -l nodes=2,walltime=1:0:0 "$(nxc helper g5k_script) 1h" | grep OAR_JOB_ID)

nxc start -m OAR.$OAR_JOB_ID.stdout -W

nxc connect

You should now have a tmux session with 2 panes: one for the server and one for the node.

We need to create the GlusterFS volume and start it.

From the server node, run the following commands:

mkdir -p /srv/gv0
gluster volume create gv0 server:/srv/gv0
gluster volume start gv0

As we already define the mount in the composition, we can simply restart the systemd service:

systemctl restart data.mount

Go on the node and change directory to the mounted volume:

cd /data

A quick ls shows that this is empty.

Create a file in it:

touch glusterfs_works

Now go on the server node and check the directory of the GlusterFS server.

ls /srv/gv0

If the glusterfs_works file exists, everything worked fine!
