Problem with extended attributes and AFR

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

I'm having a problem with self-healing feature of GlusterFS. I'm running 
Debian lenny kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64.
When one of the servers, which was unavailable during a file copy, 
returns back online,  AFR doesn't work when files are requested. The 
missing files are created with size of 0. The check on the extended 
attributes on the files on both servers return empty tables.
getfattr -d /srv/export/files/data/file/test1
<empty>

The file systems on servers are mounted with user_xattr option:
mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr)

The set up is a simple testing environment with 2 servers and one client 
with the following configuration.

on both servers:
cat /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol

volume posix
  type storage/posix
  option directory /srv/export/files
end-volume

volume server
  type protocol/server
  option transport-type tcp/server
  subvolumes posix
   option auth.ip.posix.allow *
end-volume


on client machine:
cat /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol

volume client1
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 192.168.1.176
  option transport-timeout 10
  option remote-subvolume posix
end-volume

volume client2
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 192.168.1.177
  option transport-timeout 10
  option remote-subvolume posix
end-volume

volume afr1
  type cluster/afr
  subvolumes client1 client2
end-volume

I'm mounting the volume on client with: glusterfs -f 
/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol -n afr1 /var/www/storage/

mount
glusterfs on /var/www/storage type fuse 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=1048576)

glusterfs -V   
glusterfs 1.3.12 built on Sep 17 2008 22:09:25
Repository revision: glusterfs--mainline--2.5--patch-797

I'd appreciate it, If anyone can explain me what is causing this problem 
and how to solve it.
Thanks in advance.

Lior.
