[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.8.10 rebalance VMs corruption

I looked at the logs.

>From the time the new graph (since the add-brick command you shared where
bricks 41 through 44 are added) is switched to (line 3011 onwards in
nfs-gfapi.log), I see the following kinds of errors:

1. Lookups to a bunch of files failed with ENOENT on both replicas which
protocol/client converts to ESTALE. I am guessing these entries got
migrated to
other subvolumes leading to 'No such file or directory' errors.
DHT and thereafter shard get the same error code and log the following:

 0 [2017-03-17 14:04:26.353444] E [MSGID: 109040]
[dht-helper.c:1198:dht_migration_complete_check_task] 17-vmware2-dht:
<gfid:a68ce411-e381-46a3-93cd-d2af6a7c3532>: failed     to lookup the file
on vmware2-dht [Stale file
handle]

  1 [2017-03-17 14:04:26.353528] E [MSGID: 133014]
[shard.c:1253:shard_common_stat_cbk] 17-vmware2-shard: stat failed:
a68ce411-e381-46a3-93cd-d2af6a7c3532 [Stale file handle]

which is fine.

2. The other kind are from AFR logging of possible split-brain which I
suppose are harmless too.
[2017-03-17 14:23:36.968883] W [MSGID: 108008]
[afr-read-txn.c:228:afr_read_txn] 17-vmware2-replicate-13: Unreadable
subvolume -1 found with event generation 2 for gfid
74d49288-8452-40d4-893e-ff4672557ff9. (Possible split-brain)

Since you are saying the bug is hit only on VMs that are undergoing IO
while rebalance is running (as opposed to those that remained powered off),
rebalance + IO could be causing some issues.

CC'ing DHT devs

Raghavendra/Nithya/Susant,

Could you take a look?
