hi! sometimes we've on some client-servers hanging uninterruptible processes ("ps aux" stat is on "D" ) and on one the CPU wait I/O grows within some minutes to 100%. you are not able to kill such processes - also "kill -9" doesnt work - when you connect via "strace" to such an process, you wont see anything and you cannot detach it again. there are only two possibilities: killing the glusterfs process (umount GFS share) or rebooting the server. the only log entry I found, was on one client - just a single line: [2011-06-06 10:44:18.593211] I [afr-common.c:581:afr_lookup_collect_xattr] 0-office-data-replicate-0: data self-heal is pending for /pc-partnerbet-public/Promotionaktionen/Mailakquise_2009/Webmaster_2010/HTML/bilder/Thumbs.db. one of the client-servers is a samba-server, the other one a backup-server based on rsync with millions of small files. gfs-servers + gfs-clients: SLES11 x86_64, glusterfs V 3.2.0 and here are the configs from server and client: server config "/etc/glusterd/vols/office-data/office-data.gfs-01-01.GFS-office-data02.vol": volume office-data-posix type storage/posix option directory /GFS/office-data02 end-volume volume office-data-access-control type features/access-control subvolumes office-data-posix end-volume volume office-data-locks type features/locks subvolumes office-data-access-control end-volume volume office-data-io-threads type performance/io-threads subvolumes office-data-locks end-volume volume office-data-marker type features/marker option volume-uuid 3c6e633d-a0bb-4c52-8f05-a2db9bc9c659 option timestamp-file /etc/glusterd/vols/office-data/marker.tstamp option xtime off option quota off subvolumes office-data-io-threads end-volume volume /GFS/office-data02 type debug/io-stats option latency-measurement off option count-fop-hits off subvolumes office-data-marker end-volume volume office-data-server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp option auth.addr./GFS/office-data02.allow * subvolumes /GFS/office-data02 end-volume -------------- client config "/etc/glusterd/vols/office-data/office-data-fuse.vol": volume office-data-client-0 type protocol/client option remote-host gfs-01-01 option remote-subvolume /GFS/office-data02 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume office-data-replicate-0 type cluster/replicate subvolumes office-data-client-0 end-volume volume office-data-write-behind type performance/write-behind subvolumes office-data-replicate-0 end-volume volume office-data-read-ahead type performance/read-ahead subvolumes office-data-write-behind end-volume volume office-data-io-cache type performance/io-cache subvolumes office-data-read-ahead end-volume volume office-data-quick-read type performance/quick-read subvolumes office-data-io-cache end-volume volume office-data-stat-prefetch type performance/stat-prefetch subvolumes office-data-quick-read end-volume volume office-data type debug/io-stats option latency-measurement off option count-fop-hits off subvolumes office-data-stat-prefetch end-volume -- Mit freundlichen Gr?ssen Markus Fr?hlich Techniker ________________________________________________________ Xidras GmbH Stockern 47 3744 Stockern Austria Tel: +43 (0) 2983 201 30503 Fax: +43 (0) 2983 201 305039 Email: markus.froehlich at xidras.com Web: http://www.xidras.com FN 317036 f | Landesgericht Krems | ATU64485024 ________________________________________________________________________________ VERTRAULICHE INFORMATIONEN!
