[Gluster-users] AFR trouble in glusterfs

[glusterfs]

Hello Avati:
I use the AFR function in glusterfs and get some trouble:
1. have 2 glusterfs-server, A-server and B-server, their config volume file is :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
volume posix0
  type storage/posix                    # POSIX FS translator
  option directory /home/yzy/glusterfs/rundir/grundir/gdisk/s0  # Export this directory
end-volume

### Add POSIX record locking support to the storage brick
volume brick0
  type features/posix-locks
  option mandatory on          # enables mandatory locking on all files
  subvolumes posix0
end-volume

### Add network serving capability to above brick.
volume server
  type protocol/server
  option transport-type tcp/server     # For TCP/IP transport
  option listen-port 6995              # Default is 6996
  subvolumes brick0
  option auth.addr.brick0.allow *               # access to "brick" volume
end-volume

the B-server's config file is similar with above information except "option directory" and "listen-port"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. glusterfs client config volume file is :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### Add client feature and attach to remote subvolume of server1
volume client0
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client     # for TCP/IP transport
  option remote-host 192.168.5.48   # IP address of the remote brick
  option remote-port 6995              # default server port is 6996
  option remote-subvolume brick0        # name of the remote volume
end-volume

### Add client feature and attach to remote subvolume of server2
volume client1
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client     # for TCP/IP transport
  option remote-host 192.168.5.48   # IP address of the remote brick
  option remote-port 6996              # default server port is 6996
  option remote-subvolume brick1        # name of the remote volume
end-volume

## Add AFR (Automatic File Replication) feature.
volume afr
  type cluster/afr
  subvolumes client0 client1
  option data_self_heal on
  option metadata_self_heal on
  option entry_self_heal on
  option data_change_log on
  option metadata_change_log on
  option entry_change_log on
end-volume
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have some trouble about the AFR function as I met :
1. I set the "option data_self_heal on" option in client.vol, but why system log say :
  "2009-04-02 13:45:41 W [glusterfsd.c:451:_log_if_option_is_invalid] afr: option 'data_self_heal' is not recognized"

 why?  my option information is incorrect? 

2. I use the ext3 as the filesystem of glusterfs-server, and it support the xattr function, I done some test about the xattr :
  root at yzy-ubuntu:/mnt# getfattr -d test1 
  root at yzy-ubuntu:/mnt# setfattr -n user.comment -v 'xattr is working!' test1 
  root at yzy-ubuntu:/mnt# getfattr -d test1 
  # file: test1
   user.comment="xattr is working!"

  root at yzy-ubuntu:/mnt# 

3.  For test the Afr function, I done some test:
     (1)I create a file in the glusterfs mountpoint, and write some information to this file.
     (2)I down the A-server
     (3)append  some new information to the file
     (4)restart the A-server
     But the file's information is incorrect, the append information cannot be display as normal, instead of "@"
     so, the AFR's self-heal function is invalid.  why?

    (5) I test the new file's xattr function, but I cannot get any xattr information:
         #getfattr -d testfile

I need your help.
Thanks a lot of.

YZY
