What is an RPM?

RPM Package Manager (RPM) (originally Red Hat Package Manager, now a recursive acronym) is a free and open-source package management system.[5] The name RPM refers to .rpm file format and the package manager program itself.

An RPM package can hold an arbitrary set of files. Most RPM files are “binary RPMs” (or BRPMs) containing the compiled version of some software. There are also “source RPMs” (or SRPMs) containing the source code used to build a binary package.

What is Quota?

Dictionary Meaning: 📓

A limited quantity of a particular product which under official controls can be produced, exported or imported.

In terms of storage: 💾

A quota is a fixed amount of storage that can be consumed by an individual to store data on the file system. It can be used to set storage limits on directories.

I hope so this explains well.

Quota as a feature — Gluster 🐜

Directory quotas in GlusterFS allow you to set limits on the usage of the disk space by directories or volumes. The storage administrators can control the disk space utilization at the directory and/or volume levels in GlusterFS…

What is Geo-replication?

Geo-replication systems are designed to enhance the distribution of data across geographically distributed data networks. This is aimed to improve the response time for applications such as web portals. Geo-replication can be achieved using software, hardware, or a combination of the two.

Gluster and Geo-replication

Geo-replication gives a distributed, continuous, asynchronous, and incremental replication service from one site to another over Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), and the Internet.

Geo-replication uses a primary-secondary model, where replication and mirroring occur between the following partners:

• Primary — a GlusterFS volume. [Primary volume]
• Secondary — a GlusterFS volume. [Secondary volume]

Issue

On running gluster volume geo-replication <main vol> <secondary-host>::<secondary volume> start you get

geo-replication start failed for <primary vol> <secondary host>::<secondary volume>
geo-replication command failed

Error📓

OSError: libgfchangelog.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Log File 📁

/var/log/glusterfs/geo-replication/<main vol>_<secondary host>_<secondary_vol>/gsyncd.log

You can cat the above file and find the following error mentioned above.

Fix 🔧

1. Try rebooting glusterd service glusterd restartand check.
2. If it doesn’t work. Follow the following procedure:

root@user# cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d/root@user /etc/ld.so.conf.d# vi myconfig.conf

• Press I or Insert to start writing.
• Add the following lines:

• Press Esc
• Type :wq and press Enter
• Run the following command

root@user /etc/ld.so.conf.d# ldconfig

Introduction

an application, or a component of an interface, that enables a user to perform a function or access a service : Dictionary

In simpler terms, a widget in flutter is the same as a container. Basically, a clay container that you can change or alter dynamically as per your need with few restrictions. Web developers would be already familiar with the word ‘container’, so it would be easy for them to catch up with the word widget.

Flutter widgets are built using a modern framework that takes inspiration from React. Widgets help you in development of your UI for your…
