[Gluster-users] Would difference in size (and content) of a file on replicated bricks be healed?

Hi...

Started playing with gluster. And the heal functions is my "target" for 
testing.

Short description of my test
----------------------------
* 4 replicas on single machine
* glusterfs mounted locally
* Create file on glusterfs-mounted directory: date >data.txt
* Append to file on one of the bricks: hostname >>data.txt
* Trigger a self-heal with: stat data.txt
=> Modified file on the brick is still different from the three other 
bricks.

Q1: Is the modified file supposed to get corrected in my case?

Q2: Is my test-case invalid for what gluster is supposed to handle?

I would be very happy to receive an opinion on this.

All the details are put at the bottom


Regards,

Ove






Details and logs
----------------
My environment
* single machine with OpenSuse 12.1
* gluster 3.3beta2
* xfs is used for the brick-fs (each one to a separate disk)

Volume Name: d1
Type: Replicate
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 4
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: glusterdev:/b1
Brick2: glusterdev:/b2
Brick3: glusterdev:/b3
Brick4: glusterdev:/b4
Options Reconfigured:
diagnostics.brick-log-level: DEBUG
diagnostics.client-log-level: DEBUG

* My glustervolume is mountet as glusterfs on /d1
glusterdev:/d1           52403200   33024  52370176   1% /d1



1) I put a file on the glusterfs
date >/d1/data.txt

2) Checking the storage on the bricks: ls -l /b1 /b2 /b3 /b4
/b1:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b2:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b3:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b4:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt


Everything is OK.

3) Then append a line on to /b1/data.txt
hostname >>/b1/data.txt

By just appending, I keep the inode and all the extended attributes 
(checked with attr -l on the /b1/data.txt file).


4) Check again: ls -l /b1 /b2 /b3 /b4
/b1:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b2:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b3:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b4:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

Now we have a mismatch between the bricks. Both in contents and also the 
size of the file.

4) Trigger a self-heal by using stat
cd /d1 ; stat data.txt

   File: `data.txt'
   Size: 29              Blocks: 16         IO Block: 131072 regular file
Device: 1fh/31d Inode: 18446744070822815228  Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2012-02-05 21:40:32.382157697 +0100
Modify: 2012-02-05 21:40:32.388157658 +0100
Change: 2012-02-05 21:40:32.389157657 +0100
  Birth: -


5) stat gives the correct size of 29 which was the size of the file 
stored on the glusterfs.
6) DEBUG-log from the client when running this stat-command below.

7) Check again the bricks: ls -l /b1 /b2 /b3 /b4
/b1:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b2:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b3:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt

/b4:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb  5 21:40 data.txt


8) Brick /b1 still has a bad copy of the file.



In the logs it looks like the difference in size is detected.
It also starts some self-healing actions.
But then for some reason finds out no healing is needed.
Marked a few lines with <<<<< ???? which looks suspect.
