<div>Hi Ravi,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your hints. Below you will find the answer to your questions.<br></div><div><br></div><div>First I tried to start the healing process by running:<br></div><div><br></div><div>gluster volume heal myvolume<br></div><div><br></div><div>and then as you suggested watch the output of the glustershd.log file but nothing appeared in that log file after running the above command. I checked the files which need to be healing using the "heal <volume> info" command and it still shows that very same GFID on node2 to be healed. So nothing changed here.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The file /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/indices/xattrop/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397 is only on node2 and not on my nod1 nor on my arbiternode. This file seems to be a regular file and not a symlink. Here is the output of the stat command on it from my node2:<br></div><div><br></div><div> File: ‘/data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/indices/xattrop/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397’<br></div><div> Size: 0 Blocks: 1 IO Block: 512 regular empty file<br></div><div>Device: 25h/37d Inode: 2798404 Links: 2<br></div><div>Access: (0000/----------) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)<br></div><div>Access: 2017-04-28 22:51:15.215775269 +0200<br></div><div>Modify: 2017-04-28 22:51:15.215775269 +0200<br></div><div>Change: 2017-07-30 08:39:03.700872312 +0200<br></div><div>Birth: -<br></div><div><br></div><div>I hope this is enough info for a starter, else let me know if you need any more info.

I have added an arbiter node to my replica 2 volume and it seem
to have gone fine except for the fact that there is one single
file which needs healing and does not get healed as you can see
here from the output of a "heal info":<br></div><div><br></div><div>Brick node1.domain.tld:/data/myvolume/brick<br></div><div>Status: Connected<br></div><div>Number of entries: 0<br></div><div><br></div><div>Brick node2.domain.tld:/data/myvolume/brick<br></div><div><gfid:29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397><br></div><div>Status: Connected<br></div><div>Number of entries: 1<br></div><div><br></div><div>Brick arbiternode.domain.tld:/srv/glusterfs/myvolume/brick<br></div><div>Status: Connected<br></div><div>Number of entries: 0<br></div><div><br></div><div>On my node2 the respective .glusterfs/indices/xattrop

heal are hard linked to this entry, so nothing needs to be done for
it. But you need to find out why '29e0d13...' is not healing. Launch
the heal and observe the glustershd logs for errors. I suppose the
inode number for
.glusterfs/29/e0/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397 is what is
8394642. Is .glusterfs/29/e0/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397 a
regular file or symlink? Does it exist in the other 2 bricks? What
is the link count (as seen from stat <file>)?<br></div><div> -Ravi<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your input.<br></div><div>Mabi<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><pre wrap="">_______________________________________________
