[Gluster-users] Random "No such file or directory" error in gluster client logs - FIXED

[Lee Simpson]

Hello,

Just thought id share the experience i had with a gluster client error and the solution i found after much searching and chatting with some IRC guys.

Im running a simple 2 server with multiple clients using cluster/replicate. Randomly newly created files produced the following error in the gluster client logs when accessed;

"W [fuse-bridge.c:858:fuse_fd_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 59480: OPEN() /data/randomfile-here => -1 (No such file or directory)"

These files are created by apache or other scripts (such as awstats on a cron).  Apache is then unable to read the file, and the above message appears in the gluster logs everytime you try. If i SSH into the apache server and cat the file it displays fine and then apache starts reading it fine.

I upgraded the client and server to 3.03 and tried reducing my configs to the bare min without any performance volumes..  But the problem persisted... 


SOLUTION

The solution was quite simple. It turned out that it was because the server's data drive was formatted in ext4. Switched it to ext3 and the problems went away!


Hope that helps someone else who finds this.
