The following errors were seen on a OpenVZ server while installing Glusterfs:

[2010-07-28 11:02:23] E [mount.c:525:fuse_mount_sys] glusterfs-fuse:

Solution:

Create afuse device for this VM on the OpenVZ host system with these commands:

vzctl set 101 –devices c:10:229:rw –save
vzctl exec 101 mknod /dev/fuse c 10 229

Replace 101 with the OpenVZ ID of the virtual machine.
