[Gluster-devel] Problem with rm -rf

[Harris Landgarten]

Avati,

More info on rm -rf problem

rm -rf * and find . -exec rm -rf {} \;

both begin properly and then fall into a sequence of looking for files:

find . -type f -exec rm {} \;

works fast and properly

rm -rf * then works with empty dirs.

the rm -rf hangs. It looks like one or two unlinks are sent to the log. I can cntl-C the client and the data is still there. The data was is the tmp dir from failed backups. It is gone now. I will investigate more when I have more data later today.

Strange, 
what is your configuration? At the time of 'hang', is it possible for you to attach gdb to glusterfs and get a backtrace (from every thread, by switching as 'thr 1' 'thr 2' etc) ? 
rm -rf seems to work fine for me, wondering how find . -exec rm would make a difference. 
thanks, 
avati
