[Gluster-users] Issues with replicated gluster volume

Wed Jun 17 03:55:09 UTC 2020

I have a 3 replica gluster volume created in 3 nodes and when one node is down due to some issue and the clients not able access volume. This was the issue. I have fixed the server and it is back. There was downtime at client. I just want to avoid the downtime since it is 3 replica.
I am testing the high availability now by making one of the brick server rebooting or shut down manually. I just want to make volume accessible always by client. That is the reason we went for replica volume.
So I just would like to know how to make the client volume high available even some VM or node which is having gluster volume goes down unexpectedly had down time of 10 hours.

Glusterfsd service is used to stop which is disabled in my cluster and I see one more service running gluserd. 
Will starting glusterfsd service in all 3 replica nodes will help in achieving what I am trying.
Hope I am clear.
Thanks,Ahemad

What actually  is your problem  ?
When a gluster brick process dies unexpectedly - all fuse clients will be waiting for the timeout .
The service glusterfsd is ensuring that during system shutdown ,  the brick procesees will be shutdown in such way that all native clients  won't 'hang' and wait for the timeout, but will directly choose  another brick.

The same happens when you manually run the kill script  -  all gluster processes  shutdown and all clients are  redirected to another brick.

Keep in mind that fuse mounts will  also be killed  both by the script and the glusterfsd service.
