[Gluster-users] Cascading errors and very bad write performance

[Geoffrey Letessier]

Hello,

In addition, knowing I have reactivated the log (brick-log-level = INFO not CRITICAL) only for the file creation duration (i.e. a few minutes), do you have noticed the log sizes and the number of lines inside:
# ls -lh storage*
-rw-------  1 letessier  staff    18M  5 aoû 00:54 storage1__export-brick_home-brick1-data.log
-rw-------  1 letessier  staff   2,1K  5 aoû 00:54 storage1__export-brick_home-brick2-data.log
-rw-------  1 letessier  staff    15M  5 aoû 00:56 storage2__export-brick_home-brick1-data.log
-rw-------  1 letessier  staff   2,1K  5 aoû 00:54 storage2__export-brick_home-brick2-data.log
-rw-------  1 letessier  staff    47M  5 aoû 00:55 storage3__export-brick_home-brick1-data.log
-rw-------  1 letessier  staff   2,1K  5 aoû 00:54 storage3__export-brick_home-brick2-data.log
-rw-------  1 letessier  staff    47M  5 aoû 00:55 storage4__export-brick_home-brick1-data.log
-rw-------  1 letessier  staff   2,1K  5 aoû 00:55 storage4__export-brick_home-brick2-data.log

# wc -l storage*
   55381 storage1__export-brick_home-brick1-data.log
      17 storage1__export-brick_home-brick2-data.log
   41636 storage2__export-brick_home-brick1-data.log
      17 storage2__export-brick_home-brick2-data.log
  270360 storage3__export-brick_home-brick1-data.log
      17 storage3__export-brick_home-brick2-data.log
  270358 storage4__export-brick_home-brick1-data.log
      17 storage4__export-brick_home-brick2-data.log
  637803 total

If the let brick-log-level to INFO, the brick log files in each server will consume all my /var partition capacity within only a few hours/days…

Thanks in advance,
Geoffrey
