<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Strahil, </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your reply and your suggestions. I'm not sure which logs would be most relevant to be checking to diagnose this issue, we have the brick logs, the cluster mount logs, the shd logs or something else? I have posted a few that I have seen repeated a few times already. I will continue to post anything further that I see. </div><div>I am working on migrating data to some new storage, so this will slowly free up space, although this is a production cluster and new data is being uploaded every day, sometimes faster than I can migrate it off. I have several other similar clusters and none of them have the same problem, one the others is actually at 98-99% right now (big problem, I know) but still performs perfectly fine compared to this cluster, I am not sure low space is the root cause here. </div><div><br></div><div>I currently have 13 VMs accessing this cluster, I have checked each one and all of them use one of the two options below to mount the cluster in fstab</div><div><br></div><div>HOSTNAME:/gvAA01 /mountpoint glusterfs defaults,_netdev,rw,log-level=WARNING,direct-io-mode=disable,use-readdirp=no 0 0</div><div>HOSTNAME:/gvAA01 /mountpoint glusterfs defaults,_netdev,rw,log-level=WARNING,direct-io-mode=disable</div><div><br></div><div>I also have a few other VMs which use NFS to access the cluster, and these machines appear to be significantly quicker, initially I get a similar delay with NFS but if I cancel the first "ls" and try it again I get < 1 sec lookups, this can take over 10 minutes by FUSE/gluster client, but the same trick of cancelling and trying again doesn't work for FUSE/gluster. Sometimes the NFS queries have no delay at all, so this is a bit strange to me. </div><div>HOSTNAME:/gvAA01 /mountpoint/ nfs defaults,_netdev,vers=3,async,noatime 0 0</div><div><br></div><div>Example:</div><div>user@VM:~$ time ls /cluster/folder</div><div>^C</div><div><br></div><div>real 9m49.383s</div><div>user 0m0.001s</div><div>sys 0m0.010s</div><div><br></div><div>user@VM:~$ time ls /cluster/folder</div><div><results></div><div><br></div><div>real 0m0.069s</div><div>user 0m0.001s</div><div>sys 0m0.007s</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>I have checked the profiling as you suggested, I let it run for around a minute, then cancelled it and saved the profile info. </div><div><br></div><div>root@HOSTNAME:/var/log/glusterfs# gluster volume profile gvAA01 start</div><div>Starting volume profile on gvAA01 has been successful</div><div>root@HOSTNAME:/var/log/glusterfs# time ls /cluster/folder</div><div>^C</div><div><br></div><div>real 1m1.660s</div><div>user 0m0.000s</div><div>sys 0m0.002s</div><div><br></div><div>root@HOSTNAME:/var/log/glusterfs# gluster volume profile gvAA01 info >> ~/profile.txt</div><div>root@HOSTNAME:/var/log/glusterfs# gluster volume profile gvAA01 stop</div><div><br></div><div>I will attach the results to this email as it's over 1000 lines.

Be aware that gluster is expected to max out the CPUs on at least one of your servers while healing. This is normal and won’t adversely affect overall performance (any more than having bricks in need of healing, at any rate) unless you’re overdoing it. shd threads <= 4 should not do that on your hardware. Other tunings may have also increased overall performance, so you may see higher CPU than previously anyway. I’d recommend upping those thread counts and letting it heal as fast as possible, especially if these are dedicated Gluster storage servers (Ie: not also running VMs, etc). You should see “normal” CPU use one heals are completed. I see ~15-30% overall normally, 95-98% while healing (x my 20 cores). It’s also likely to be different between your servers, in a pure replica, one tends to max and one tends to be a little higher, in a distributed-replica, I’d expect more than one to run harder while healing.</div><div><br></div><div>Keep the differences between doing an ls on a brick and doing an ls on a gluster mount in mind. When you do a ls on a gluster volume, it isn’t just doing a ls on one brick, it’s effectively doing it on ALL of your bricks, and they all have to return data before the ls succeeds. In a distributed volume, it’s figuring out where on each volume things live and getting the stat() from each to assemble the whole thing. And if things are in need of healing, it will take even longer to decide which version is current and use it (shd triggers a heal anytime it encounters this). Any of these things being slow slows down the overall response. </div><div><br></div><div>At this point, I’d get some sleep too, and let your cluster heal while you do. I’d really want it fully healed before I did any updates anyway, so let it use CPU and get itself sorted out. Expect it to do a round of healing after you upgrade each machine too, this is normal so don’t let the CPU spike surprise you, It’s just catching up from the downtime incurred by the update and/or reboot if you did one.</div><div><br></div><div>That reminds me, check your gluster cluster.op-version and cluster.max-op-version <span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">(gluster vol get all all | grep op-version)</span>.

We have noticed our performance deteriorating over the last few weeks, easily measured by trying to do an ls on one of our top-level folders, and timing it, which usually would take 2-5 seconds, and now takes up to 20 minutes, which obviously renders our cluster basically unusable. This has been intermittent in the past but is now almost constant and I am not sure how to work out the exact cause. We have noticed some errors in the brick logs, and have noticed that if we kill the right brick process, performance instantly returns back to normal, this is not always the same brick, but it indicates to me something in the brick processes or background tasks may be causing extreme latency. Due to this ability to fix it by killing the right brick process off, I think it's a specific file, or folder, or operation which may be hanging and causing the increased latency, but I am not sure how to work it out. One last thing to add is that our bricks are getting quite full (~95% full), we are trying to migrate data off to new storage but that is going slowly, not helped by this issue. I am currently trying to run a full heal as there appear to be many files needing healing, and I have all brick processes running so they have an opportunity to heal, but this means performance is very poor. It currently takes over 15-20 minutes to do an ls of one of our top-level folders, which just contains 60-80 other folders, this should take 2-5 seconds. This is all being checked by FUSE mount locally on the storage node itself, but it is the same for other clients and VMs accessing the cluster. Initially, it seemed our NFS mounts were not affected and operated at normal speed, but testing over the last day has shown that our NFS clients are also extremely slow, so it doesn't seem specific to FUSE as I first thought it might be. </div><div><br></div><div>I am not sure how to proceed from here, I am fairly new to gluster having inherited this setup from my predecessor and trying to keep it going.
