[Gluster-users] GFID Mismatch - Automatic Correction ?

Wed Jan 4 04:01:50 UTC 2017

Hey,

To give some more context around the initial incident.. These systems are hosted in AWS. The gluster brick for each instance is a seperate volume to the root volume. On prod-gluster01 a couple of nights ago we experienced massively high read iops on the root volume that we are unable to account for (> 200,000 iops when it usually sits between 0 - 100 iops ). The box became inaccessible as a result and after approximately 40 minutes with no sign of the iops reducing was rebooted through the AWS console.

The GFID mismatch problems appeared after that. There were initially ~50 impacted files, but I've fixed all but 1 of them now, which I'm leaving broken intentionally for further testing if required.

If you don't mind, could you have a look over the information below and identify anything that looks like a problem, since obviously we did have a bunch of GFID mismatched files, which based on your email shouldn't happen..

I've included everything I can think of, but if there is something else you would like to see, please let me know.

# gluster volume info gv0

cluster.favorite-child-policy: none
nfs.disable: on
performance.readdir-ahead: on
client.event-threads: 7

cluster.favorite-child-policy is set to none because I reverted the change to majority when it didn't make any difference.

Hi,

We have a 2 data node plus 1 arbiter node replicate gluster volume running gluster 3.8.5. Clients are also using 3.8.5.

One of the data nodes failed the other night, and whilst it was down, several files were replaced on the second data node / arbiter (and thus the filesystem path was linked to a new GFID).

When the broken node was restarted, these files were in a gfid mismatch state. I know how to manually correct them, but was wondering if there is an automated way ?
For resolving gfid-split-brains, there is no automated way or favorite-child policy. When you say 2 data+1 arbiter, you are using an actual arbiter volume right? (as opposed to a replica 2 volume + a dummy node which some people are referring to as arbiter for server-quourm). gfid-split-brains should not occur on either replica-3 or arbiter volumes with the steps you described.

Ravi

I thought the cluster.favorite-child-policy volume setting of majority would work, but it made no difference. Clients were still getting Input/output error when attempting to access those files.

Michael Ward
