Hi... Started playing with gluster. And the heal functions is my "target" for testing. Short description of my test ---------------------------- * 4 replicas on single machine * glusterfs mounted locally * Create file on glusterfs-mounted directory: date >data.txt * Append to file on one of the bricks: hostname >>data.txt * Trigger a self-heal with: stat data.txt => Modified file on the brick is still different from the three other bricks. Q1: Is the modified file supposed to get corrected in my case? Q2: Is my test-case invalid for what gluster is supposed to handle? I would be very happy to receive an opinion on this. All the details are put at the bottom Regards, Ove Details and logs ---------------- My environment * single machine with OpenSuse 12.1 * gluster 3.3beta2 * xfs is used for the brick-fs (each one to a separate disk) Volume Name: d1 Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 4 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: glusterdev:/b1 Brick2: glusterdev:/b2 Brick3: glusterdev:/b3 Brick4: glusterdev:/b4 Options Reconfigured: diagnostics.brick-log-level: DEBUG diagnostics.client-log-level: DEBUG * My glustervolume is mountet as glusterfs on /d1 glusterdev:/d1 52403200 33024 52370176 1% /d1 1) I put a file on the glusterfs date >/d1/data.txt 2) Checking the storage on the bricks: ls -l /b1 /b2 /b3 /b4 /b1: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b2: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b3: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b4: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt Everything is OK. 3) Then append a line on to /b1/data.txt hostname >>/b1/data.txt By just appending, I keep the inode and all the extended attributes (checked with attr -l on the /b1/data.txt file). 4) Check again: ls -l /b1 /b2 /b3 /b4 /b1: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b2: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b3: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b4: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt Now we have a mismatch between the bricks. Both in contents and also the size of the file. 4) Trigger a self-heal by using stat cd /d1 ; stat data.txt File: `data.txt' Size: 29 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 131072 regular file Device: 1fh/31d Inode: 18446744070822815228 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2012-02-05 21:40:32.382157697 +0100 Modify: 2012-02-05 21:40:32.388157658 +0100 Change: 2012-02-05 21:40:32.389157657 +0100 Birth: - 5) stat gives the correct size of 29 which was the size of the file stored on the glusterfs. 6) DEBUG-log from the client when running this stat-command below. 7) Check again the bricks: ls -l /b1 /b2 /b3 /b4 /b1: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b2: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b3: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt /b4: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 5 21:40 data.txt 8) Brick /b1 still has a bad copy of the file. In the logs it looks like the difference in size is detected. It also starts some self-healing actions. But then for some reason finds out no healing is needed. Marked a few lines with <<<<< ???? which looks suspect. ===============CUT Client Log [2012-02-05 21:41:01.206102] D [client-handshake.c:179:client_start_ping] 0-d1-client-0: returning as transport is already disconnected OR there are no frames (0 || 0) [2012-02-05 21:41:01.206201] D [client-handshake.c:179:client_start_ping] 0-d1-client-1: returning as transport is already disconnected OR there are no frames (0 || 0) [2012-02-05 21:41:01.206224] D [client-handshake.c:179:client_start_ping] 0-d1-client-2: returning as transport is already disconnected OR there are no frames (0 || 0) [2012-02-05 21:41:01.206241] D [client-handshake.c:179:client_start_ping] 0-d1-client-3: returning as transport is already disconnected OR there are no frames (0 || 0) [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279124] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:139:afr_sh_print_pending_matrix] 0-d1-replicate-0: pending_matrix: [ 0 0 0 0 ] [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279182] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:139:afr_sh_print_pending_matrix] 0-d1-replicate-0: pending_matrix: [ 0 0 0 0 ] [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279202] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:139:afr_sh_print_pending_matrix] 0-d1-replicate-0: pending_matrix: [ 0 0 0 0 ] [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279218] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:139:afr_sh_print_pending_matrix] 0-d1-replicate-0: pending_matrix: [ 0 0 0 0 ] [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279232] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:604:afr_find_child_character_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: child 0 character innocent [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279251] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:604:afr_find_child_character_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: child 1 character innocent [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279266] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:604:afr_find_child_character_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: child 2 character innocent [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279280] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:604:afr_find_child_character_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: child 3 character innocent [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279294] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:738:afr_mark_sources] 0-d1-replicate-0: Number of sources: 0 [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279309] D [afr-self-heal-data.c:836:afr_lookup_select_read_child_by_txn_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: returning read_child: 1 [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279324] D [afr-common.c:1183:afr_lookup_select_read_child] 0-d1-replicate-0: Source selected as 1 for / [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279341] D [afr-common.c:990:afr_lookup_build_response_params] 0-d1-replicate-0: Building lookup response from 1 [2012-02-05 21:41:03.279561] D [afr-common.c:1945:afr_lookup] 0-d1-replicate-0: failed to get the gfid from dict [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280265] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:139:afr_sh_print_pending_matrix] 0-d1-replicate-0: pending_matrix: [ 0 0 0 0 ] [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280299] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:139:afr_sh_print_pending_matrix] 0-d1-replicate-0: pending_matrix: [ 0 0 0 0 ] [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280317] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:139:afr_sh_print_pending_matrix] 0-d1-replicate-0: pending_matrix: [ 0 0 0 0 ] [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280332] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:139:afr_sh_print_pending_matrix] 0-d1-replicate-0: pending_matrix: [ 0 0 0 0 ] [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280346] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:604:afr_find_child_character_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: child 0 character innocent [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280377] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:604:afr_find_child_character_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: child 1 character innocent [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280392] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:604:afr_find_child_character_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: child 2 character innocent [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280405] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:604:afr_find_child_character_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: child 3 character innocent [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280419] D [afr-self-heal-common.c:738:afr_mark_sources] 0-d1-replicate-0: Number of sources: 0 [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280433] D [afr-self-heal-data.c:836:afr_lookup_select_read_child_by_txn_type] 0-d1-replicate-0: returning read_child: 2 [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280507] D [afr-common.c:1183:afr_lookup_select_read_child] 0-d1-replicate-0: Source selected as 2 for /data.txt [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280530] D [afr-common.c:990:afr_lookup_build_response_params] 0-d1-replicate-0: Building lookup response from 2 [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280548] I [afr-common.c:1076:afr_detect_self_heal_by_iatt] 0-d1-replicate-0: size differs for /data.txt [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280576] I [afr-common.c:1225:afr_launch_self_heal] 0-d1-replicate-0: background data self-heal triggered. path: /data.txt [2012-02-05 21:41:03.280612] D [afr-self-heal-metadata.c:78:afr_sh_metadata_done] 0-d1-replicate-0: proceeding to data check on /data.txt [2012-02-05 21:41:03.281307] D [afr-lk-common.c:1397:afr_nonblocking_inodelk] 0-d1-replicate-0: attempting data lock range 0 0 by 140191242417704 [2012-02-05 21:41:03.281734] D [afr-self-heal-data.c:1136:afr_sh_data_post_nonblocking_inodelk_cbk] 0-d1-replicate-0: Non Blocking data inodelks done for /data.txt by 140191242417704.
