<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>I'm having some trouble with something but I'm not quite sure of
with what yet. I'm running GlusterFS 3.12.6 on Ubuntu 16.04. I
have two servers (nodes) in the cluster in a replica mode. Each
server has 2 bricks. As the servers are KVM running several VMs,
one brick has some VMs locally defined in it and the second brick
is the replicated from the other server. It has data but not
actual writing is being done except for the replication.<br>
</p>
<p> Server 1
Server 2<br>
Volume 1 (gv1): Brick 1 defined VMs (read/write) ---->
Brick 1 replicated qcow2 files<br>
Volume 2 (gv2): Brick 2 replicated qcow2 files <-----
Brick 2 defined VMs (read/write)</p>
<p>So, the main issue arose when I got a nagios alarm that warned
about a file listed to be healed. And then it disappeared. I came
to find out that every 5 minutes, the self heal daemon triggers
the healing and this fixes it. But looking at the logs I have a
lot of entries in the glustershd.log file like this:</p>
<p><font size="-1">[2018-08-09 14:23:37.689403] I [MSGID: 108026]
[afr-self-heal-common.c:1656:afr_log_selfheal]
0-gv1-replicate-0: Completed data selfheal on
407bd97b-e76c-4f81-8f59-7dae11507b0c. sources=[0] sinks=1 <br>
[2018-08-09 14:44:37.933143] I [MSGID: 108026]
[afr-self-heal-common.c:1656:afr_log_selfheal]
0-gv2-replicate-0: Completed data selfheal on
73713556-5b63-4f91-b83d-d7d82fee111f. sources=[0] sinks=1 </font><br>
</p>
<p>The qcow2 files are being healed several times a day (up to 30 in
occasions). As I understand, this means that a data heal occurred
on file with gfid 407b... and 7371... in source to sink. Local
server to replica server? Is it OK for the shd to heal files in
the replicated brick that supposedly has no writing on it besides
the mirroring? How does that work?</p>
<p>How does afr replication work? The file with gfid 7371... is the
qcow2 root disk of an owncloud server with 17GB of data. It does
not seem to be that big to be a bottleneck of some sort, I think.</p>
<p>Also, I was investigating the directory tree in
brick/.glusterfs/indices and I notices that both in xattrop and
dirty I always have a file created named xattrop-xxxxxx and
dirty-xxxxxx. I read that the xattrop file is like a parent file
or handle to reference other files created there as hardlinks with
gfid name for the shd to heal. Is the same case as the ones in the
dirty dir?</p>
<p>Any help will be greatly appreciated it. Thanks!<br>
