[Gluster-users] Conflicting entries for symlinks between bricks (Trusted.gfid not consistent)

Thu Apr 17 23:37:32 UTC 2014

Hi gluster people !

I would like some help regarding an issue we have with our early production glusterfs setup.

Our Topology:

2 Bricks in Replicate mode:

[root at myBrick1 /]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
[root at myBrick1 /]# glusterfs --version
glusterfs 3.4.2 built on Jan  3 2014 12:38:05

[root at myBrick1 /]# gluster volume info

Volume Name: myVol
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 58f5d775-acb5-416d-bee6-5209f7b20363
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: myBrick1.company.lan:/export/raid/myVol
Brick2: myBrick2.company.lan:/export/raid/myVol
Options Reconfigured:
nfs.enable-ino32: on

The issue:

We power down a brick (myBrick1) for hardware maintenance, when we power it up, issues starts with some files (symlinks in fact), auto healing seems not working fine for all the files…

Let's take a look with one faulty symlink:

Using fuse.glusterfs (sometimes it works sometimes not)

[root at myBrick2 /]mount
...
myBrick2.company.lan:/myVol on /images type fuse.glusterfs (rw,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)
...

[root at myBrick2 /]# stat /images/myProject1/2.1_stale/current
  File: `/images/myProject1/2.1_stale/current' -> `current-59a77422'

[root at myBrick2 /]# stat /images/myProject1/2.1_stale/current
stat: cannot stat `/images/myProject1/2.1_stale/current': Input/output error

I type the above commands with few seconds between them.

Let's try with the other brick

[root at myBrick1 ~]mount
...
myBrick1.company.lan:/myVol on /images type fuse.glusterfs (rw,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)
...

[root at myBrick1 ~]# stat /images/myProject1/2.1_stale/current
stat: cannot stat `/images/myProject1/2.1_stale/current': Input/output error

With this one it always fail… (myBrick1 is the server we powered up after maintenance).

Using nfs:

It never works (tested with two bricks)

[root at station-localdomain myProject1]# mount
...
myBrick1:/myVol on /images type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=14,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.0.0.57,mountvers=3,mountport=38465,mountproto=tcp,local_lock=none,addr=10.0.0.57)
...

[root at station-localdomain myProject1]# ls 2.1_stale
ls: cannot access 2.1_stale: Input/output error

In both cases here are the logs:

So let’s take a deeper look.

Any split-brain ?

[root at myBrick1 glusterfs]# gluster volume heal myVol info split-brain
Gathering Heal info on volume myVol has been successful

Brick myBrick1.company.lan:/export/raid/myVol
Number of entries: 0

Brick myBrick2.company.lan:/export/raid/myVol
Number of entries: 0

Nop

Any heal-failed ?

[root at myBrick1 glusterfs]# gluster volume heal myVol info heal-failed |wc -l
380

Plenty… how unique of them ?

[root at myBrick1 glusterfs]# gluster volume heal myVol info heal-failed | cut -d " " -f 3 | sort -u | wc -l
18

Digging on it

Here are failling entry from gluster volume myVol info heal-failed

Lets compare their xattr

getfattr from file above :

Damns they seems good, I made a cross check md5sum all files are the same on both bricks,

Let chek the symlinks now

Damn, trusted.gfid is not consistent between the bricks… how does it append ?

When we power up the myBrick1 we have some automated jobs writing on the other brick through nfs, and this job copying a bunch of file and update the symlinks above.

So definitely there is an issue with replication… but only with symlinks ???

So here are the questions:

1) Can we still use glusters in read/write operation when adding a new or old brick ? (down for maintenance for example) ? That a key point in our deployment for scalability and flexibility
2) How can I recover / delete the conflicted grid files ? (as symlinks are the same in both side, only xattr differs).

Thanks a lot for your help

Cyril
