I've got a 2 peer replicated setup with 2 bricks on each system. Starting sometime overnight, one system ground to a halt, to the point a local login was not possible. Restarted. A couple hours later I tried to log in via SSH, too many open files. A quick 'lsof" showed thousands of open files on glusterfs. I just restarted the server again...and appears to be doing the same thing. Addition of nearly 2500 files in 4 minutes, not 5 minutes after rebooting. for d in {1..1000};do a=`date`;b=`lsof|grep gluster|wc -l`;echo $a " " $b;sleep 60;done Tue Aug 2 07:56:37 EDT 2011 2924 Tue Aug 2 07:57:37 EDT 2011 3568 Tue Aug 2 07:58:38 EDT 2011 4154 Tue Aug 2 07:59:38 EDT 2011 4718 Tue Aug 2 08:00:38 EDT 2011 5376 It's peer is more what's expected: for d in {1..1000};do a=`date`;b=`lsof|grep gluster|wc -l`;echo $a " " $b;sleep 60;done Tue Aug 2 07:57:18 EDT 2011 193 Tue Aug 2 07:58:18 EDT 2011 192 Tue Aug 2 07:59:18 EDT 2011 193 Tue Aug 2 08:00:19 EDT 2011 193 Tue Aug 2 08:01:19 EDT 2011 191 Its running 3.2.2 Any suggestions to what's happening?
