Also, this is the du -sh output for the specific directory that appears to be taking up space on brick 3:

10G     /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3/brick/.shard/.remove_me/

The gluster package version on all the servers is 11.0, and I believe they were upgraded from 7.2>8.6>11.0; the op.version was only changed after the 11.0 upgrade.

The archival job deletes the files, files shouldn't be overwritten at any point as it's new, unique files being generated everyday.

Thanks for the clarification.

That behaviour is quite weird as arbiter bricks should hold only metadata.

What does the following show on host uk3-prod-gfs-arb-01:

du -h -x -d 1 /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick1/brick
du -h -x -d 1 /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3/brick
du -h -x -d 1 /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2/brick


If indeed the shards are taking space - that is a really strange situation.
From which version did you upgrade and which one is now ? I assume all gluster TSP members (the servers) have the same version, but it’s nice to double check.

Does the archival job actually deletes the original files after being processed or the workload keeps overriding the existing files ?

Hi Strahil,

We're using gluster to act as a share for an application to temporarily process and store files, before they're then archived off over night.

The issue we're seeing isn't with the inodes running out of space, but the actual disk space on the arb server running low.

This is the df -h​ output for the bricks on the arb server:
/dev/sdd1              15G   12G  3.3G  79% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3
/dev/sdc1              15G  2.8G   13G  19% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick1
/dev/sde1              15G   14G  1.6G  90% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2

And this is the df -hi​ output for the bricks on the arb server:
/dev/sdd1              7.5M  2.7M  4.9M   35% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3
/dev/sdc1              7.5M  643K  6.9M    9% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick1
/dev/sde1              6.1M  3.0M  3.1M   49% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2

So the inode usage appears to be fine, but we're seeing that the actual disk usage keeps increasing on the bricks despite it being the arbiter.

The actual issue appears to be that files under /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3/brick/.shard/.remove_me/​ and /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2/brick/.shard/.remove_me/​ are being retained, even when the original files are deleted from the data nodes.

For reference, I've attached disk usage graphs for brick 3 over the past two weeks; one is a graph from a data node, the other from the arb.

As you can see, the disk usage of the data node builds throughout the day, but then an archival job clears space down. However, on the arb, we see the disk space increasing in the same sort of trend, but it's never cleared down like the data node.

Hopefully this clarifies the issue, we're a bit confused as to why this is occurring and whether this is actually intended behaviour or potentially a bug, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Liam,

I saw that your XFS uses ‘imaxpct=25’ which for an arbiter brick is a little bit low.

If you have free space on the bricks, increase the maxpct to a bigger value, like:
xfs_growfs -m 80 /path/to/brick
That will set 80% of the Filesystem for inodes, which you can verify with df -i /brick/path (compare before and after). This way you won’t run out of inodes in the future.

Of course, always test that on non Prod first.

Are you using the volume for VM disk storage domain ? What is your main workload ?

Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov

Hi,

you mentioned that the arbiter bricks run out of inodes.
Are you using XFS ?
Can you provide the xfs_info of each brick ?

Hi,

We're running a cluster with two data nodes and one arbiter, and have sharding enabled.

We had an issue a while back where one of the server's crashed, we got the server back up and running and ensured that all healing entries cleared, and also increased the server spec (CPU/Mem) as this seemed to be the potential cause.

Since then however, we've seen some strange behaviour, whereby a lot of 'remove_me' files are building up under `/data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2/brick/.shard/.remove_me/` and `/data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3/brick/.shard/.remove_me/`. This is causing the arbiter to run out of space on brick2 and brick3, as the remove_me files are constantly increasing.

brick1 appears to be fine, the disk usage increases throughout the day and drops down in line with the trend of the brick on the data nodes. We see the disk usage increase and drop throughout the day on the data nodes for brick2 and brick3 as well, but while the arbiter follows the same trend of the disk usage increasing, it doesn't drop at any point.

This is the output of some gluster commands, occasional heal entries come and go:
