[Gluster-users] RE : Frequent connect and disconnect messages flooded in logs

Hi Rafi,

thank you for your support. It is greatly appreciated.

Just some more thoughts from my side:

There have been no reports from other  users in *this* thread until now, 
but I have found at least one user with a very simiar problem in an 
older thread:

https://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2014-November/019637.html

He is also reporting disconnects  with no apparent reasons, althogh his 
setup is a bit more complicated, also involving a firewall. In our 
setup, all servers/clients are connected via 1 GbE with no firewall or 
anything that might block/throttle traffic. Also, we are using exactly 
the same software versions on all nodes.


I can also find some reports in the bugtracker when searching for 
"rpc_client_ping_timer_expired" and "rpc_clnt_ping_timer_expired" (looks 
like spelling changed during versions).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1096729
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370683

But both reports involve large traffic/load on the bricks/disks, which 
is not the case for out setup.
To give a ballpark figure: Over three days, 30 GiB were written. And the 
data was not written at once, but continuously over the whole time.


Just to be sure, I have checked the logfiles of one of the other 
clusters right now, which are sitting in the same building, in the same 
rack, even on the same switch, running the same jobs, but with glusterfs 
3.4.2 and I can see no disconnects in the logfiles. So I can definitely 
rule out our infrastructure as problem.

Regards,
Micha
