gluster 3.2.0 - totally broken?

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

 



I'm using it in real-world production, lot of small files (apache
webroot mounts mostly). I've seen a bunch of split-brain and self-heal
failing when I first did the switch. After I removed and recreated the
dirs it seemed to be fine for about a week now; yeah not long, I know.

I 2nd the notion that it'd be nice to see a list of what files/dirs
gluster thinks is out of sync or can't heal. Right now you gotta go
diving into the logs.

 

I'm actually thinking of downgrading to 3.1.3 from 3.2.0. Wonder if I'd
have any ill-effects on the volume with a simple rpm downgrade and
daemon restart.

hi guys,

 

we're using 3.1.3 and i'm not moving off it.  i totally agree with
stephans comments: the gluster devs *need* to concentrate on stability
before adding any new features.  it seems gluster dev is sales driven -
not tech focused.  we need less new buzz words - and more solid
foundations.  

 

gluster is a great idea - but is in danger of falling short and failing
if the current trajectory is now altered.  greater posix compatibility
(permissions, NLM locking) should be a perquisite for an NFS server.
hell, the documentation is terrible; it's hard for us users to
contribute to the community when we are groping around in the dark too.

 

question : is anyone using 3.2 in a real world production situation?

 

regards to all,

 

-paul
