[Gluster-users] Strange file permisson

[Simon Liang]

Hi,

 

I have 4 server nodes set up, distributed over 2-replicated-nodes.

 

volume client1a

        type protocol/client

        option transport-type tcp/client

        option remote-host gs1

        option remote-port 7001

        option remote-subvolume brick

end-volume

 

volume client2a

        type protocol/client

        option transport-type tcp/client

        option remote-host gs2

        option remote-port 7001

        option remote-subvolume brick

end-volume

 

volume client1b

        type protocol/client

        option transport-type tcp/client

        option remote-host gs1

        option remote-port 7002

        option remote-subvolume brick

end-volume

 

volume client2b

        type protocol/client

        option transport-type tcp/client

        option remote-host gs2

        option remote-port 7002

        option remote-subvolume brick

end-volume

 

volume afr1

        type cluster/replicate

        subvolumes client1a client2a

end-volume

 

volume afr2

        type cluster/replicate

        subvolumes client1b client2b

end-volume

 

volume distribute

        type cluster/distribute

        subvolumes afr1 afr2

end-volume

 

I recently just noticed that there are some files missing, and when I
check the nodes client1a and client1b, or client2a and client2b.

 

I notice that on one node, the file appears as:

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:25 DSC01927.JPG

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01929.JPG

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01931.JPG

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:25 DSC01942.JPG

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:25 DSC01944.JPG

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:25 DSC01946.JPG

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01915.JPG

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01905.JPG

---------T 1 root root       0 2009-08-25 16:26 DSC01907.JPG

 

But on the other node is fine.

 

That is one problem, the other is that since files are distributed
between client(1,2)a and client(1,2)b, why are the files appearing on
both servers? Distribute should only copy files to one node or the
other, not both.
