<p dir="ltr">Hi David,<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">It's difficult to find anything structured (but it's the same for Linux and other tech). I use Red Hat's doxumentation, guideds online (crosscheck the options with official documentation) and experience shared on the mailing list.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I don't see anything (iin /var/lib/gluster/groups) that will match your profile, but I think that you should try with performance.read-ahead and performance.readdir-ahead 'off' . I have found out a bug (didn't read the whole stuff) , that might be interesting for you :</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601166">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601166</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, Arbiter is very important in order to avoid split brain situations (but based on my experience , issues still can occur) and best the brick for the Arbiter to be an SSD as it needs to process the metadata as fast as possible. With v7, there is an option the client to have an Arbiter even in the cloud (remote arbiter) that is used only when 1 data brick is down.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Please report the issue with the cache - that should not be like that.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Are you using Jumbo frames (MTU 9000)?<br>
What is yoir brick's I/O scheduler ?</p>

<p dir="ltr">Gluster supports live rolling upgrade, so there is no need to redeploy at all - but the migration notes should be checked as some features must be disabled first.<br />
Also, the gluster client should remount in order to bump the gluster op-version.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What kind of workload do you have ?<br />
I'm asking as there are predefined (and recommended) settings located at /var/lib/gluster/groups .<br />
You can check the options for each group and cross-check the options meaning in the docs before activating a setting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I still have a vague feeling that ,during that high-peak of network bandwidth, there was a heal going on. Have you checked that ?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, sharding is very useful , when you work with large files and the heal is reduced to the size of the shard.</p>
<p dir="ltr">N.B.: Once sharding is enabled, DO NOT DISABLE it - as you will loose your data.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Using GLUSTER v7.1 (soon on CentOS & Debian) allows using latest features and optimizations while support from gluster Dev community is quite active.</p>
<p dir="ltr">P.S: I'm wondering how 'performance.cache-size' can both be 32 MB and 128 MB. Please double-check this (maybe I'm reading it wrong on my smartphone) and if needed raise a bug on <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com">bugzilla.redhat.com</a> </p>
<p dir="ltr">P.S2: Please provide 'gluster volume info' as 'cluster.quorum-type' -> 'none' is not normal for replicated volumes (arbiters are using in replica volumes)</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to the dooutput (otps://<a href="http://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/arbiter-volumes-and-quorum">docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/arbiter-volumes-and-quorum</a>/) :</p>
<p dir="ltr"><i><b>Note:</b></i><i> Enabling the arbiter feature </i><b><i>automatically</i></b><i> configures</i> <i>client-quorum to 'auto'. This setting is </i><i><b>not</b></i><i> to be changed.</i><br /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Here is my output (Hyperconverged Virtualization Cluster -> oVirt):<br />
# gluster volume info engine | grep quorum<br />
cluster.quorum-type: auto<br />
cluster.server-quorum-type: server</p>
<p dir="ltr">Changing quorum is more 'riskier' than other options, so you need to take necessary measures. I think , we all know what will happen , if the cluster is out of quorum and you change the quorum settings to more stringent ones :D<br /></p>
<p dir="ltr">P.S3: If you decide to reset your gluster volume to the defaults, you can create a new volume (same type as current one), the get the options for that volume and put them in a file and then bulk deploy via 'gluster volume set <Original Volume> group custom-group' , where the file is located on every gluster server in the '/var/lib/gluster/groups' directory.<br />
Last , get rid of the sample volume.<br /></p>
