When running a HA config with 2 servers and 2 clients, I can consistently crash the active server after failing the other. This is on TLA version patched to 440. System configs at http://glusterfs.pastebin.com/m52564c56 Server A: 172.16.1.81 Server B: 172.16.1.82 Client A: 172.16.1.85 Client B: 172.16.1.86 Note: Client transport-timeout (on clients and servers) was set to 10 in first two crashes, and set to 30 on Client A and B in the last one (servers still had it set to 10). For the first crash, I fail server B (ifdown eth1), and then try to ls the mount point with the client (time ls -l /mnt/glusterfs) from both clients. I generally get a "ls: /mnt/glusterfs/: Transport endpoint is not connected" error once or twice, and then the active server's (A) glusterfsd will either start responding or crash (about 50% chance). In this case, I had restored network connectivity to server B and ran a few more ls's from the clients. The glusterfsd.log (including backtrace) is at http://glusterfs.pastebin.com/m15d7f914 Upon restarting glusterfs on server A and restoring the network connection to server B, I initiated the above ls from the clients and crashed server A's glusterfsd again. Glusterfsd on Server B was never restarted, it was failed because of lack of connectivity. The glusterfsd.log (including backtrace) for THIS crash is at http://glusterfs.pastebin.com/m28ee8e5a Here's a crash from doing an ls with one server failed, after restarting one of the servers a few times. The glusterfsd.log (including backtrace): http://glusterfs.pastebin.com/m2ee6c471 All logs shown are from the crashing server, Server A. I can just as easily crash server B by failing A. Let me know if you need more logs from other hosts and I'll re-run whichever scenarios you like, -- - Kevan Benson - A-1 Networks
