Hi all, we are running stress test and virtual machine (VMWARE) on expensive hardware, after trying glusterfs on cheaper hardware. Our platform is as follow: - 2 node (SunFire X4150), - OS: Debian Lenny , kernel 2.6.24, glusterfs 1.3.12, fuse-2.7.3glfs10 (from your repository) Glusterfs and fuse are compiled on both nodes; setup provides a server/client configuration with afr and 2 bricks per node We have 2 NIC per node directly connected for improved reliability. the config file is reported below. >From log files of both nodes we have a lot of next messagges: " ... 2008-09-26 06:25:21 E [unify.c:182:unify_lookup_cbk] unify: afr2 returned 2 2008-09-26 06:25:21 E [unify.c:265:unify_lookup_cbk] unify: Revalidate failed for /virtual_machines/vm-debug-Debian/vmware-0.log 2008-09-26 06:25:21 E [fuse-bridge.c:468:fuse_entry_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 13393848: (34) /virtual_machines/vm-debug-Debian/vmware-0.log => -1 (2) 2008-09-26 06:25:21 W [fuse-bridge.c:411:fuse_entry_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 13393849: (34) /virtual_machines/vm-debug-Debian/vmware.log => 101514846 Rehashing because st_nlink less than dentry maps ... " The alert refers to many files. I would like to ask you what is the meaning of this log. Any help is really appreciated.
