Hi Atin,


Thank you for your reply.
I have two questions for you.


1.Are the two files info and info.tmp are only to be created or changed in function glusterd_store_volinfo()? I did not find other point in which the two file are changed.
2.I found that glusterd_store_volinfo() will be call in many point by glusterd.Is there a problem of thread synchronization?If so, one thread may open a same file info.tmp using O_TRUNC flag when another thread is writing the info,tmp.Could this case happen?


Thanks,
Xin

Did you run out of disk space by any chance? AFAIK, the code is like we write new stuffs to .tmp file and rename it back to the original file. In case of a disk space issue I expect both the files to be of non zero size. But having said that I vaguely remember a similar issue (in the form of a bug or an email) landed up once but we couldn't reproduce it, so something is wrong with the atomic update here is what I guess. I'll be glad if you have a reproducer for the same and then we can dig into it further.

Hi,
When I start the glusterd some error happened.
And the log is following.

And then I found that the size of vols/volume_name/info is 0.It cause glusterd shutdown.
But I found that vols/volume_name_info.tmp is not 0.
And I found that there is a brick file vols/volume_name/bricks/xxxx.brick is 0, but vols/volume_name/bricks/xxxx.brick.tmp is not 0.


I read the function code glusterd_store_volinfo () in glusterd-store.c .
I know that the info.tmp will be rename to info in function glusterd_store_volume_atomic_update().


But my question is that why the info file is 0 but info.tmp is not 0.




Thanks,
Xin
