GlusterFS share via IPv6 is not working (missing option)

[poly01]

Hi,

at the moment I'm struggeling with GlusterFS shares via IPv6.

I noticed that GlusterFS needs the option xlator-option="transport.address-family=inet6" when calling the mount function.
Otherwise IPv6 hosts cannot be reached.
See: https://milindchangireblog.wordpress.com/2019/02/01/how-to-set-up-glusterfs-for-ipv6-communication

The exact error message from the GlusterFS-log is:

E [MSGID: 101075] [common-utils.c:497:gf_resolve_ip6] 0-resolver: error in getaddrinfo [{family=2}, {ret=No address associated with hostname}]
E [name.c:265:af_inet_client_get_remote_sockaddr] 0-glusterfs: DNS resolution failed on host <FQDN>

Via various bug trackers I have seen that corresponding adjustments were made for platforms like oVirt.
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1688245

Until now I haven't not found a way to pass this option via Proxmox.
Is this a known issue or did I skip a note in the documentation?
Maybe someone knows a workaround?

Tested with Proxmox VE 6.3-4 on Debian Buster and GlusterFS 5.5, 8 and 9.

Hello,

thank you for pointing this out! Doing so is really not possible at the moment. It would be great if you could create a request for this on bugzilla.proxmox.com

As workaround, you can mount your GlusterFS storage manually using "mount" and then create a PVE directory storage on the mount path.
