[Gluster-users] Distributed re-balance issue

Well yes and no, when i start the re-balance and check it's status, it just tells me it completed the re-balance, but it really did not move any data and the volume is not evenly distributed.

right now brick6 is full, brick 5 is going to be full in few hours or so.

Hi,


Thank you for your response.

I have around 15 files, each is 2TB qcow.

One brick reached 96% so i removed it with "brick remove" and waited until it goes for around 40% and stopped the removal process with brick remove stop.

The issue is brick1 drain it's data to brick6 only, and when brick6 reached around 90% i did the same thing as before and it drained the data to brick1 only.

now brick6 reached 99% and i have only a few gigabytes left which will fill in the next half hour or so.

attached are the logs for all 6 bricks.

Hi,

Just to clarify, did you run a rebalance (gluster volume rebalance <vol> start) or did you only run remove-brick  ?

On re-reading your original email, I see you did run a rebalance. Did it complete? Also which bricks are full at the moment?

Hi,


I have a distributed volume with 6 bricks, each have 5TB and it's hosting large qcow2 VM disks (I know it's reliable but it's not important data)

I started with 5 bricks and then added another one, started the re balance process, everything went well, but now im looking at the bricks free space and i found one brick is around 82% while others ranging from 20% to 60%.

The brick with highest utilization is hosting more qcow2 disk than other bricks, and whenever i start re balance it just complete in 0 seconds and without moving any data.

How much is your average file size in the cluster? And number of files (roughly) .



What will happen with the brick became full ?

Once brick contents goes beyond 90%, new files won't be created in the brick. But existing files can grow.



Can i move data manually from one brick to the other ?

Nop.It is not recommended, even though gluster will try to find the file, it may break.



Why re balance not distributing data evenly on all bricks ?

Rebalance works based on layout, so we need to see how layouts are distributed. If one of your bricks has higher capacity, it will have larger layout.




That is correct. As Rafi said, the layout matters here. Can you please send across all the rebalance logs from all the 6 nodes?
