[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.8.10 rebalance VMs corruption

Sun Mar 19 11:25:37 UTC 2017

Thank you for your email mate.

Yes, im aware of this but, to save costs i chose replica 2, this cluster is all flash.

In version 3.7.x i had issues with ping timeout, if one hosts went down for few seconds the whole cluster hangs and become unavailable, to avoid this i adjusted the ping timeout to 5 seconds.

As for choosing Ganesha over gfapi, VMWare does not support Gluster (FUSE or gfapi) im stuck with NFS for this volume.

The other volume is mounted using gfapi in oVirt cluster.

While I'm still going through the logs, just wanted to point out a couple of things:

1. It is recommended that you use 3-way replication (replica count 3) for VM store use case
2. network.ping-timeout at 5 seconds is way too low. Please change it to 30.

Is there any specific reason for using NFS-Ganesha over gfapi/FUSE?

Will get back with anything else I might find or more questions if I have any.

In that case could you share the ganesha-gfapi logs?

I have two volumes, one is mounted using libgfapi for ovirt mount, the other one is exported via NFS-Ganesha for VMWare which is the one im testing now.

Kindly, check the attached new log file, i dont know if it's helpful or not but, i couldn't find the log with the name you just described.

No. Are you using FUSE or libgfapi for accessing the volume? Or is it NFS?

mnt-disk11-vmware2.log seems like a brick log. Could you attach the fuse mount logs? It should be right under /var/log/glusterfs/ directory
named after the mount point name, only hyphenated.

Hi Mahdi,

Could you attach mount, brick and rebalance logs?

Hi,

I have upgraded to Gluster 3.8.10 today and ran the add-brick procedure in a volume contains few VMs.
After the completion of rebalance, i have rebooted the VMs, some of ran just fine, and others just crashed.
Windows boot to recovery mode and Linux throw xfs errors and does not boot.
I ran the test again and it happened just as the first one, but i have noticed only VMs doing disk IOs are affected by this bug.
The VMs in power off mode started fine and even md5 of the disk file did not change after the rebalance.

anyone else can confirm this ?
