[Gluster-devel] Replication resync after disconnection

[Gareth Bult]

Hi,

Which node are you mounting against?
If each node mounts against the local server, you might like to check out this bug;
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21918

It's been outstanding for nearly 4 months and there's no indication this issue has been addressed. Essentially to ensure a consistent view, all clients need to mount against the same server .. which is sort of Ok as they should both fail-over to the (same) next available node in the event of a server crash.

Hi,

I have two nodes in AFR mode. If node2 down and I add files to node1, when 
the node2 comes up, it cannot see the files. ls doesn't show them.

However, after I cat/head the files on node1, they appear on node2.

Is there a way to make this work? I can live with head-ing every file when 
a node comes up to force a resync, but this gets a lot more difficult if 
it has to be done from the other side.

I initially thought this was a problem caused by lack of xattr support on 
reiser4 (node2 was on reiser4), but I've since converted it to ext3, and 
I'm still seeing the same behaviour.

Gordan
