[Gluster-users] Pretty much any operation related to Gluster mounted fs hangs for a while

[A Ghoshal]

Actually you ran getfattr on the volume - which is why the requisite extended attributes never showed up...

Your bricks are mounted elsewhere. 
 /exports/images1-1/brick, and exports/images2-1/brick

Btw, what version of Linux do you use? And, are the files you observe the input/output errors on soft-links?

   Thanks for you input, Anirban.

I ran the commands on both servers, with the following results:


root at web3:/var/www/site-images# time getfattr -m . -d -e hex
templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png

real 0m34.524s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.000s


root at web4:/var/www/site-images# time getfattr -m . -d -e hex
templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png
getfattr: templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png: Input/output
error

ls: cannot access templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png:
Input/output error


Not sure if it elucidate the issue..


Also, I saw at /var/log/gluster.log a zillion entries like these:

I have talked with some guys at #gluster that pointed it could be network
issues. I'm still looking into it, but since the issue also happens locally
(within the same server), would that still be a valid point?


Also, less often, I see entries like these:

[2015-01-26 17:41:25.956418] E
[afr-self-heal-common.c:1615:afr_sh_common_lookup_cbk]
0-site-images-replicate-0: Conflicting entries for

[2015-01-26 17:41:26.588753] E
[afr-self-heal-common.c:1615:afr_sh_common_lookup_cbk]
0-site-images-replicate-0: Conflicting entries for
/webhost/sites/clipart/assets/apache/images/graphics/215126/image1.png


Are those a definitive indication of a split-brain? Or just something usual
until self-heal takes care of recently updated files?
