Hi, As of now when statedump command is issued via cli (gluster volume statedump <volname> [options]) depending upon what options is given via cli a temporary file (glusterdump.<pid>.options) file is created by glusterd and glusterfsd process read that file to decide what information should be dumped. But the problem is glusterd after issuing the SIGUSR1 signal to the glusterfsd processes, sleeps for 1 second and then unlinks the options file. To fix that a patch was sent ( http://review.gluster.org/#change,2585), where * the glusterfsd process after dumping the information to the statedump file, unlinked the options by (instead of glusterd doing it) Another approach suggested to me was this: * Have a separate thread in glusterd which keeps on polling for the file glusterdump.<pid>.options.over (i.e some renamed file). glusterfsd after dumping the information, renames the options file and thats when glusterd realizes the statedump is taken and unlinks the file. (The new thread is spawned whenever statedump is issued and is finished after unlinking the renamed options file). Please let me know the inputs. Regards, Raghavendra Bhat |
