[Gluster-users] Distributed runs out of Space

When you add more bricks you have to tell gluster to rebalance, ie move files from existing disks to the newly added empty disks.

Do you have some very big files? Just wondering why one of your bricks has much more free space than the other.

Hi Franco,

??? Ok no balancing - it was the wrong wording. I mean, the glusterfs controlles where is the right space left for files. I dont mean that glusterfs balance the files between the nodes. So i have over 400GB on node3, why should i delete files on node1 or node2? This must happend automaticly, or why should i set the option min-free-disk if cluster ignore it? Please explain, also what dht mean. If youre right it would be horrible, because if i add one more node i have to copy lots of data between the other 3nodes to have enough space? Cant believe that this is like it work.

------------------

The target brick for dht is determined using a hash, it doesn't do any sort of capacity balancing. You need to make some space on all the bricks.

Hi,
after find out that the Fuseclient runs in Version 3.4.2 i updated all 3 Nodes to 3.4.2, restart all but get the same trouble. Than i mounted via Fuse Gluster the Client directly to the 3 Node which have enough space left, but as i can see the files goes to the 1 node ?!
Is this a Bug? Need asap help.

thx
