I have been running some tests on a gluster tree with over 100,000 files using find. When I run find /mnt/gluster -type f it completes without error. When I combine the find with -exec that causes the files to be read (ie find /mnt/gluster -type f -exec head -n1 {} \; ) The process fails to complete 100% of the time with "No such file or directory" errors. The errors do not occur until after at least 30,000 files have been processed. After the process fails the clients and servers still appear to be running properly. The errors seem to coincide with the following in the logs: Client running process: [May 25 10:11:14] [ERROR/client-protocol.c:204/client_protocol_xfer()] protocol/client:transport_submit failed [May 25 10:11:14] [ERROR/client-protocol.c:204/client_protocol_xfer()] protocol/client:transport_submit failed [May 25 10:11:14] [ERROR/client-protocol.c:204/client_protocol_xfer()] protocol/client:transport_submit failed [May 25 10:11:14] [ERROR/client-protocol.c:204/client_protocol_xfer()] protocol/client:transport_submit failed [May 25 10:11:14] [ERROR/client-protocol.c:204/client_protocol_xfer()] protocol/client:transport_submit failed [May 25 10:11:14] [ERROR/client-protocol.c:204/client_protocol_xfer()] protocol/client:transport_submit failed ...

Both clients are running with read-ahead and write_behind on and stat_prefetch off. All machines are on current mainline-2.4 as of patch 174. Since both bricks are seeing the same error does that mean the client is causing the error? The errors do not alway start at the same file but always happen after a lot of files are processed. Are there any specific tests you would like run? Best, Harris
