[Gluster-users] gnfs split brain when 1 server in 3x1 down (high load) - help request

Thu Apr 16 21:16:23 UTC 2020

I have some news.

After many many many trials, reboots of gluster servers, reboots of nodes...
in what should have reproduced the issue several times. I think we're
stable.

It appears this glusterfs nfs daemon hang only happens in glusterfs74
and not 72.

So....
1) Your split-brain patch
2) performance.parallel-readdir off
3) glusterfs72

I declare it stable. I can't make it fail: split-brain, hang, noor seg fault
with one leader down.

I'm working on putting this in to a SW update.

We are going to test if performance.parallel-readdir off impacts booting
at scale but we don't have a system to try it on at this time.

THAK YOU!

I may have access to the 57 node test system if there is something you'd
like me to try with regards to why glusterfs74 is unstable in this
situation. Just let me know.
