Hi everyone, I would like to add more infos to this situation. Here is the current behaviour we're experiencing : Note : for those who would prefer, here is the pastebin of what follows: http://glusterfs.pastebin.com/m4266582c We're using FUSE 2.6.5, GlusterFS 1.3 patch 457, libattr 2.4.7 and glibc 2.3.2. kernel is 2.6.16.52 All servers export a '/export/data' directory Client mounts the glusterfs volume to /mnt/glusterfs with an afr *:3 specification ## Client ## glusterfs 217G 7.1G 207G 4% /mnt/glusterfs root@glusterfs-client:/mnt# find /mnt/glusterfs/var-www/obmbackup -exec file {} \; /mnt/glusterfs/var-www/obmbackup: directory /mnt/glusterfs/var-www/obmbackup/obmdb-20060104:202315-1.0.dump: ASCII text root@glusterfs-client:/mnt# cat /var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log 2007-08-17 07:27:26 E [afr.c:1442:afr_selfheal_getxattr_cbk] tbs-clust-data-afr: (path=/var-www/obmbackup/obmdb-20060104:202315-1.0.dump child=tbs-clust-or2-data) op_ret=-1 op_errno=38 root@glusterfs-client:/mnt# touch /mnt/glusterfs/test ## server 1 ## Server 1 is the "consistent" brick. So it provides the files that should be self-healed on other volumes. for instance, as above with client: root@glusterfs-brick1:~# du -sh /export/data/var-www/obmbackup/* 16M /export/data/var-www/obmbackup/obmdb-20060104:202315-1.0.dump We check if the extended attributes are enabled: root@glusterfs-brick1:~# setfattr -n user.foo -v bar /export/data/test root@glusterfs-brick1:~# getfattr -n user.foo /export/data/test getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: export/data/test user.foo="bar" ## server 2 ## This server exported data directory is inconsistent. It should have been self-healed with the client 'find' command above, but: root@glusterfs-brick2:~# du -sh /export/data/var-www/obmbackup/* du: `/export/data/var-www/obmbackup/*': No such file or directory root@glusterfs-brick2:~# du -sh /export/data/var-www/* 4.0K /export/data/var-www/obmbackup We check if the extended attributes are enabled: root@glusterfs-brick2:~# setfattr -n user.foo2 -v bar2 /export/data/test root@glusterfs-brick2:~# getfattr -n user.foo2 /export/data/test getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: export/data/test user.foo2="bar2" ## server 3 ## This server exported data directory is also inconsistent. It should have been self-healed with the client 'find' command above, as brick2 should have too, but the song remains the same: root@glusterfs-brick3:~# du -sh /export/data/var-www/obmbackup/* du: `/export/data/var-www/obmbackup/*': No such file or directory root@glusterfs-brick3:~# du -sh /export/data/var-www/ 8.0K /export/data/var-www And again, we can check that the extended attributes are enabled: root@glusterfs-brick3:~# setfattr -n user.foo3 -v bar3 /export/data/test root@glusterfs-brick3:~# getfattr -n user.foo3 /export/data/test getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: export/data/test user.foo3="bar3" Note that after editing this 'test' file (with 'vi' for instance), extended attributes disappear If you need any more info, please ask ! Hope the code on which Amar is working would solve the issues above. Best Regards, Sebastien. Amar S. Tumballi a écrit : > Hi Vincent, > The versions you are using are perfectly fine.
