Testing Gluster 3.4.Beta

[Andrew Niemantsverdriet]

Hi All,

I am trying to test the VM storage in the new Gluster 3.4 Beta. I have
enabled the virt-preview repo on Fedora 18 x86_64. When I go to create
the image using 'qemu-img create gluster://f18-test1:0/vmstore/test1',
I get an error stating: qemu-img: Unknown protocol

I am guessing that the version supplied in the virt-repo does not have
the --enable-glusterfs flag supplied at compile time. Are the src
rpm's available for this repo some place so I could add the glusterfs
flag? Or can I file a bug some place to have that feature enabled?

Thanks,

Source RPMs should be available from

F19 and rawhide qemu are built against gluster now:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=419506

However the virt-preview packages for F18 won't have gluster bits enabled,
since the required gluster versions haven't been pushed to F18.

Also libguestfs in F19 and Rawhide is supposed to support
disk-images-on-gluster using a syntax similar to:

guestfish -a gluster://host/volume/disk.img [...]

However I have not been able to test this, so testing and feedback are
welcome!
