[Gluster-users] How to clear split brain info

[Davy Croonen]

Ravi

Thanks for your quick reply.

I didn’t solve the split-brain on the file because I don’t know to which directory this gfid is referencing (due to the implementation of our application we have multiple directories containing the same files).

Running the command “getfattr -m . -d -e hex <directory>” against every directory which could be the one didn’t show up the mentioned gfid. But there was one result that didn’t fit the picture, see results below:

root at gfs01a-dcg:/mnt/public/brick1/provil/Timetable# getfattr -m . -d -e hex h9cnBmEx6j26sgidVKLaZhAqh
# file: h9cnBmEx6j26sgidVKLaZhAqh
trusted.afr.dirty=0x000000000000000000000000
trusted.afr.public-client-0=0x000000000000000000000000
trusted.afr.public-client-1=0x000000000000000000000000
trusted.gfid=0xb560c2463f5b476fa95d318f6bb91356
trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x00000001000000007ffe51f8ffffffff

root at gfs01a-dcg:/mnt/public/brick1/provil/Timetable# getfattr -m . -d -e hex h9cnBmEx6j26sgidVKLaZhAqh1442579382189160
# file: h9cnBmEx6j26sgidVKLaZhAqh1442579382189160
trusted.afr.dirty=0x000000000000000000000000
trusted.afr.public-client-0=0x000000000000000000000000
trusted.afr.public-client-1=0x000000000000000000000000
trusted.gfid=0x0367b477d5ea4b62b4da174b33622457

On the other hand there is also the possibility that the directory doesn’t even exist anymore because every night there are running some cleanup scripts.

By the way we are running gluster version 3.6.4.
