[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.12.14: slow ls -l command + "Another transaction is in progress. Please try again after sometime" message

[Ashish Pandey]

Hi, 

Slow "ls -l" command which is also the reason behind TAB and df -h issue. 
I would suggest to check "disperse.other-eager-lock" option and see if it is "ON" or "OFF" 

gluster v get <volname> all | grep other 

If it is ON, change it to OFF by following command 
gluster v set <volname> disperse.other-eager-lock off 

It should solve the problem.

Dear All, 

during last two days, our distributed dispersed gluster volume is showing some strange behaviors: 

1) "df -h" and "ls -l" linux commands are very slow 
2) “TAB” key usage causes the hang of the shell 
3) nagios monitoring system is showing some alerts related to QUOTA and VOLUME UTILIZATION similar to the following one: 

Notification Type: PROBLEM 

Service: Volume Quota - tier2 
Host: tier2-gluster 
Address: tier2-gluster 
State: WARNING 

Date/Time: Wed Oct 24 16:27:13 CEST 2018 

Additional Info: 

QUOTA: Quota status could not be determined. 

4) on some gluster servers, “df -h” command shows a new mount “/run/gluster/tier2_quota_list” 
5) gluster vol status returns this message: “Another transaction is in progress. Please try again after sometime”. 

I just restarted the “glusterd” service on each server, one by one. 
Also, I executed “umount -l /run/gluster/tier2_quota_list” on each server. 
Now, everything seems to be ok, but I would like to know if there is a way to avoid this kind of problem. 

Last question: do you think that it is a good practice executing “service glusterd restart” command on each server when the problem appears? 
In attachment you can find the glusterd.log file 

Thank you in advance, 
Mauro
