[Gluster-users] Can't access volume during self-healing

I'm evaluating gluster for use in our product, and I want to ensure that I understand the failover behavior.  What I'm seeing isn't great, but it doesn't look from the docs I've read that this is what everyone else is experiencing.


Is this normal?

Setup:

-          one volume, distributed, replicated (2), with two bricks on two different servers

-          35,000 files on volume, about 1MB each, all in one directory (I'm open to changing this, if that's the problem.  ls -l takes a really long time)

-          volume is mounted (mount -t gluster) on server 1

Procedure:

-          I stop glusterd and glusterfsd on server1, and send a few files to the volume.  This is fine.  I can write and read the files.

-          I start glusterd on server1, and this starts glusterfsd.  This triggers self-heal.

-          Send a file to the server, and try to read it.

-          Sending takes a couple of minutes.  Reading is immediate.

-          Once self-heal is done, subsequent sends and reads are immediate.

I tried profiling this operation, and it seems like it's stuck on locking the file:


(server1 is uca-amm3.cnda.avaya.com. server2 is uc-amm4.cnda.avaya.com)

Any ideas?
