Fwd: bug in 3.4.1 when creating symlinks

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

 



I have a replicated Gluster setup, 2 servers (fs-1 and fs-2) x 1 brick.  I
have two clients (web-1 and web-2) which are connected and simultaneously
execute tasks.  These clients mount the Gluster volume at /mnt/gfs.  One
task they execute looks like this (note this is pseudocode, the actual task
is PHP):

1. @symlink(/mnt/gfs/slow265, /mnt/gfs/slow265.prod);
2. if (!is_link(/mnt/gfs/slow265.prod)) {
3.   throw Exception;
4. }
5. symlink(/mnt/gfs/slow265.prod, /home/user/slow265.prod)

Note that line 1 may fail on either client because the link may have been
created by the other client, but this is suppressed, the link is checked
and an exception is thrown if the link does not exist.  These two tasks,
when executed at the same time, usually succeed.  However, in a recent run,
we saw an error on web-1 in line 5 because the local filesystem symlink
creation failed, despite line 2 confirming that the target Gluster symlink
existed.

I've created a PHP script which can be run simultaneously on two clients to
recreate the error: https://gist.github.com/pdrakeweb/7347198

Running the same test script on a Gluster 3.0.8 setup does not cause the
error to occur.  Running the same test on a local-only filesystem also does
not cause the error to occur.  I'd appreciate any insight people might have
into what is going on here and whether this is a bug in 3.4.1.  Below are
the related log entries from my Gluster servers and clients.
