[Gluster-users] --T files after rebalance

[Viktor Villafuerte]

Hi all,

I've got these packages installed

[root at gluster04.uat g34]# rpm -qa | grep gluster
glusterfs-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
glusterfs-cli-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
glusterfs-libs-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
glusterfs-fuse-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
glusterfs-server-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
[root at gluster04.uat g34]#


after rebalance I have number of files in 'T'

[root at gluster04.uat g34]# ls -l ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts 
---------T 2 1000 1000 0 Feb 26 11:06 ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts
[root at gluster04.uat g34]#


I've tried this twice once extend 1 (1x1) => 2 (1x1) and once 2 (1x1) =>
3 (1x1) and both times I end up with about 1000 files like that one


[root at gluster04.uat g34]# getfattr -m trusted.* -d ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts 
# file: ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts
trusted.gfid="�]�U\\�H<���-��"
trusted.glusterfs.dht.linkto="cdn-uat-replicate-0"

[root at gluster04.uat g34]#


which would point to the '0' replica and surely


[root at gluster08.uat g34]# ls -l ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts 
-rw-r--r-- 2 1000 1000 997728 Jan  8 11:14 ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts



Now when I remove the file from '08'
I get

[root at gluster08.uat g34]# ls -l ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts 
ls: cannot access ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts: No such file or directory
[root at gluster08.uat g34]#



but



[root at gluster04.uat g34]# getfattr -m trusted.* -d ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts 
# file: ThePinkPanther2_2009_23_HLS_layer2_642000_95.ts
trusted.gfid="�]�U\\�H<���-��"
trusted.glusterfs.dht.linkto="cdn-uat-replicate-0"

[root at gluster04.uat g34]#




I'm sure that this is not by design? Is there a way how to fix this? Or
what would be the recommended series of action(s) that should be taken
now to rectify this?
