[Gluster-users] self-heal trouble after changing arbiter brick

Fri Feb 9 09:53:20 UTC 2018

Hi Karthik,

Thank you for your reply. The heal is still undergoing, as the /var/log/glusterfs/glustershd.log keeps growing, and there's a lot of pending entries in the heal info.

The gluster version is 3.10.9 and 3.10.10 (the version update in progress). It doesn't have info summary [yet?], and the heal info is way too long to attach here. (It takes more than 20 minutes just to collect it, but the truth is, the cluster is quite heavily loaded, it handles roughly 8 million reads and 100k writes daily.)

The heal info output is full of lines like this:

...

Brick gv2:/data/glusterfs
<gfid:96a4ee35-b519-40e2-8dc0-a26f8faa5628>
<gfid:fa4185b0-e5ab-4fdc-9dca-cb6ba33dcc8d>

<gfid:ea6dbca2-f7e3-4015-ae34-04e8bf31fd4f>
...

And so forth. Out of 80k+ lines, less than just 200 are not related to gfids (and yes, number of gfids is well beyond 64999):

# grep -c gfid heal-info.fpack

...

And here is the getfattr output for a sample file:

# getfattr -d -e hex -m . /data/glusterfs/testset/13f/13f27c303b3cb5e23ee647d8285a4a6d.pack
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names

trusted.gfid=0xb42d966b77154de990ecd092201714fd

I tried several files, and the output is pretty much the same, the gfid is the only difference.

Could it be anything else I would provide to shed some light on this?

Hey,
 Did the heal completed and you still have some entries pending heal?
If yes then can you provide the following informations to debug the issue.
1. Which version of gluster you are running2. gluster volume heal <volname> info summary or gluster volume heal <volname> info3. getfattr -d -e hex -m . <filepath-on-brick> output of any one of the which is pending heal from all the bricks

Hi folks,

I'm troubled moving an arbiter brick to another server because of I/O load issues. My setup is as follows:

# gluster volume info

Volume Name: myvol
Type: Distributed-Replicate
Volume ID: 43ba517a-ac09-461e-99da-a197759a7dc8
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 3 x (2 + 1) = 9
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: gv0:/data/glusterfs
Brick2: gv1:/data/glusterfs
Brick3: gv4:/data/gv01-arbiter (arbiter)
Brick4: gv2:/data/glusterfs
Brick5: gv3:/data/glusterfs
Brick6: gv1:/data/gv23-arbiter (arbiter)
Brick7: gv4:/data/glusterfs
Brick8: gv5:/data/glusterfs
Brick9: pluto:/var/gv45-arbiter (arbiter)
Options Reconfigured:
nfs.disable: on
transport.address-family: inet
storage.owner-gid: 1000
storage.owner-uid: 1000
cluster.self-heal-daemon: enable

The gv23-arbiter is the brick that was recently moved from other server (chronos) using the following command:

# gluster volume replace-brick myvol chronos:/mnt/gv23-arbiter gv1:/data/gv23-arbiter commit force
volume replace-brick: success: replace-brick commit force operation successful

It's not the first time I was moving an arbiter brick, and the heal-count was zero for all the bricks before the change, so I didn't expect much trouble then. What was probably wrong is that I then forced chronos out of cluster with gluster peer detach command. All since that, over the course of the last 3 days, I see this:

# gluster volume heal myvol statistics heal-count
Gathering count of entries to be healed on volume myvol has been successful

Brick gv0:/data/glusterfs
Number of entries: 0

Brick gv1:/data/glusterfs
Number of entries: 0

Brick gv4:/data/gv01-arbiter
Number of entries: 0

Brick gv2:/data/glusterfs
Number of entries: 64999

Brick gv3:/data/glusterfs
Number of entries: 64999

Brick gv1:/data/gv23-arbiter
Number of entries: 0

Brick gv4:/data/glusterfs
Number of entries: 0

Brick gv5:/data/glusterfs
Number of entries: 0

Brick pluto:/var/gv45-arbiter
Number of entries: 0

According to the /var/log/glusterfs/glustershd.log, the self-healing is undergoing, so it might be worth just sit and wait, but I'm wondering why this 64999 heal-count persists (a limitation on counter? In fact, gv2 and gv3 bricks contain roughly 30 million files), and I feel bothered because of the following output:

# gluster volume heal myvol info heal-failed
Gathering list of heal failed entries on volume myvol has been unsuccessful on bricks that are down. Please check if all brick processes are running.

I attached the chronos server back to the cluster, with no noticeable effect. Any comments and suggestions would be much appreciated.
