[Gluster-users] GFID attir is missing after adding large amounts of data

Mon Aug 28 07:55:31 UTC 2017

Hi Cluster Community,

we are seeing some problems when adding multiple terrabytes of data to a 2 node replicated GlusterFS installation.

The version is 3.8.11 on CentOS 7.
The machines are connected via 10Gbit LAN and are running 24/7. The OS is virtualized on VMWare.

After a restart of node-1 we see that the log files are growing to multiple Gigabytes a day.

Also there seem to be problems with the replication.
The setup worked fine until sometime after we added the additional data (around 3 TB in size) to node-1. We added the data to a mountpoint via the client, not directly to the brick.
What we did is add tar files via a client-mount and then untar them while in the client-mount folder.
The brick (/mnt/brick1/gv0) is using the XFS filesystem.

When checking the file attributes of one of the files mentioned in the brick logs, i can see that the gfid attribute is missing on node-1. On node-2 the file does not even exist.

getfattr -m . -d -e hex mnt/brick1/gv0/.glusterfs/40/59/40598e46-9868-4d7c-b494-7b978e67370a/type=type1/part-r-00002-4846e211-c81d-4c08-bb5e-f22fa5a4b404.gz.parquet

We repeated this scenario a second time with a fresh setup and got the same results. 

Does anyone know what we are doing wrong ?

Is there maybe a problem with glusterfs and tar ?
