Hello,
Interesting, we seems to be several users with issues regarding recovery
but there is no to little replies... ;-)
I did some more testing over the weekend. Same initial workload (two
glusterfs servers, one client that continuesly
updates a file with timestamps) and then two easy testcases:
1. one of the glusterfs servers is constantly rebooting (just a initscript
that sleeps for 60 seconds before issuing "reboot")
2. similar to 1 but instead of rebooting itself, it is rebooting the other
glusterfs server so that the result is that they a server
comes up, wait for a bit and then rebooting the other server.
During the whole weekend this has progressed nicely. The client is running
all the time without issues and the glusterfs
that comes back (either only one or one of the servers, depending on the
testcase shown above) is actively getting into
sync and updates it's copy of the file.
So it seems to me that we need to look deeper in the recovery case (of
course, but it is interesting to know about the
nice&easy usescases as well). I'm surprised that the recovery from a
failover (to restore the rendundancy) isn't getting
higher attention here. Are we (and others that has difficulties in this
area) running a unusual usecase?
BR,

Heyho guys,
I'm running since years glusterfs in a small environment without big
problems.
Now I'm going to use glusterFS for a bigger cluster but I've some
questions :)
Environment:
* 4 Servers
* 20 x 2TB HDD, each
* Raidcontroller
* Raid 10
* 4x bricks => Replicated, Distributed volume
* Gluster 3.4
1)
I'm asking me, if I can delete the raid10 on each server and create
for each HDD a separate brick.
In this case have a volume 80 Bricks so 4 Server x 20 HDD's. Is there
any experience about the write throughput in a production system with
many of bricks like in this case? In addition i'll get double of HDD
capacity.
2)
I've heard a talk about glusterFS and out scaling. The main point was
if more bricks are in use, the scale out process will take a long
time. The problem was/is the Hash-Algo. So I'm asking me how is it if
I've one very big brick (Raid10 20TB on each server) or I've much more
bricks, what's faster and is there any issues?
Is there any experiences ?
3)
Failover of a HDD is for a raid controller with HotSpare HDD not a big
deal. Glusterfs will rebuild automatically if a brick fails and there
are no data present, this action will perform a lot of network traffic
between the mirror bricks but it will handle it equal as the raid
controller right ?
Thanks and cheers

Thank you all for the wonderful input,
I haven't used extensively XFS so far and my concerns primarily came from
reading an article (mostly the discussion after it) by Jonathan Corbetrom
on LWN (http://lwn.net/Articles/476263/) and another one
http://toruonu.blogspot.ca/2012/12/xfs-vs-ext4.html. They are both
relatively recent and I was under the impression the XFS still has
problems, in certain cases of power loss, where the metadata and the actual
data are not being in sync, which might lead existing data being corrupted.
But again, like Paul Robert Marino pointed out, choosing a right IO
scheduler might greatly reduce the risk of this to happen.

I have found problems with bricks to be disruptive whereas replacing a

Gluster will not "rebuild automatically" a brick, you will need to
manually add/remove it.
Additionally, if a brick goes bad gluster won't do anything about it,
the affected volumes will just slow down or stop working at all.
Again, my advice is KEEP THE RAID and set up good monitoring of drives.

in object stores you sacrifice the consistency gauranteed by filesystems
for **higher** availability. probably by "scale" you mean higher
availability, so... the answer is probably object storage.
That said, gluster is an interesting file system in that it is
"object-like" --- it is really fast for lookups.... and so if you aren't
really sure you need objects, you might be able to do just fine with
gluster out of the box.
One really cool idea that is permeating the gluster community nowadays is
this "UFO" concept, -- you can easily start with regular gluster, and then
layer an object store on top at a later date if you want to sacrifice
posix operations for (even) higher availability.
"Unified File and Object Storage - Unified file and object storage allows
admins to utilize the same data store for both POSIX-style mounts as well
as S3 or Swift-compatible APIs." (from
http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/3.3beta)

Not exactly, but you will have to manually add an attribute and "heal...full" to re-mirror the replacement.

I'm not arguing for or against RAID. It's another tool in our tool box. I, personally, use JBOD. Our use case has a lot of different files being used by different clients. JBOD maximizes our use of cache.

Incidentally, we're wrapping this up today. If you want to be included in the list of swag-receivers (t-shirt, USB car charger, and stickers), you still have a couple of hours to file a bug and have it verified by the dev team.
Thanks, everyone :)

Hi all,
We're playing around with new versions and uprading options. We currently
have a 2x2x2 stripped-distributed-replicated volume based on 3.3.0 and
we're planning to upgrade to 3.4 version.
We've tried upgrading fist the clients and we've tried with 3.4.0, 3.4.1
and 3.4.2qa2 but all of them caused the same error:
Failed to get stripe-size
So it seems as if 3.4 clients are not compatible to 3.3 volumes. Is this
assumtion right?
Is there any procedure to upgrade the gluster from 3.3 to 3.4 without
stopping the service?
Where are the compatibility limitations between these 2 versions?
Any hint or link to documentation would be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Samuel.

Hi Heiko,
some years ago I had to deliver a reliable storage that should be easy to grow in size over time.
For that I was in close contact with
presto prime who produced a lot of interesting research results accessible to the public.
http://www.prestoprime.org/project/public.en.html
what was striking me was the general concern of how and when and with which pattern hard drives will fail,
and the rebuilding time in case a "big" (i.e. 2TB+) drive fails. (one of the papers at pp was dealing in detail with that)
From that background my approach was to build relatively small raid6 bricks (9 * 2 TB + 1 Hot-Spare)
and connect them together with a distributed glusterfs.
I never experienced any problems with that and felt quite comfortable about it.
That was for just a lot of big file data exported via samba.
At the same time I used another, mirrored, glusterfs as a storage backend for
my VM-images, same there, no problem and much less hazel and headache than drbd and ocfs2
which I run on another system.

Have a look at:

Specifically:
? RAID arrays
? More RAID LUNs for better concurrency
? For RAID6, 256-KB stripe size
I use a single RAID 6 that is divided into several LUNs for my bricks. For example, on my Dell servers(with PERC6 RAID controllers) each server has 12 disks that I put into raid 6. Then I break the RAID 6 into 6 LUNs and create a new PV/VG/LV for each brick. From there I follow the recommendations listed in the presentation.

In terms of numbers of files/objects, I'd have to say object stores. S3
and Azure are both over a *trillion* objects, and I've never heard of a
filesystem that size. In terms of performance it might go the other
way. More importantly, I think the object stores give up too much in
terms of semantics - e.g. hierarchical directories and rename, byte
granularity, consistency/durability guarantees. It saddens me to see so
many people working around these limitations in their apps based on
object stores - duplicating each others' work, creating
incompatibibility (e.g. with a half dozen "conventions" for simulating
hierarchical directories), and sometimes even losing data to subtle
distributed-coordination bugs. An app that uses a subset of an
underlying filesystem's functionality is far more likely to be correct
and portable than one that tries to build extra abstractions on top of a
bare-bones object store.

I went with big RAID on each node (16x 3TB SATA disks in RAID6 with a
hot spare per node) rather than brick-per-disk. The simple reason
being that I wanted to configure distribute+replicate at the GlusterFS
level, and be 100% guaranteed that the replication happened across to
another node, and not to another brick on the same node. As each node
only has one giant brick, the cluster is forced to replicate to a
separate node each time.
Some careful initial setup could probably have done the same, but I
wanted to avoid the dramas of my employer expanding the cluster one
node at a time later on, causing that design goal to fail as the new
single node with many bricks found replication partners on itself.
On a different topic, I find no real-world difference in RAID10 to
RAID6 with GlusterFS. Most of the access delay in Gluster has little
to do with the speed of the disk. The only downside to RAID6 is a
long rebuild time if you're unlucky enough to blow a couple of drives
at once. RAID50 might be a better choice if you're up at 20 drives
per node.
We invested in SSD caching on our nodes, and to be honest it was
rather pointless. Certainly not bad, but the real-world speed boost
is not noticed by end users.

Replicas are defined in the order bricks are listed in the volume create
command. So
gluster volume create myvol replica 2 server1:/data/brick1
server2:/data/brick1 server3:/data/brick1 server4:/data/brick1
will replicate between server1 and server2 and replicate between server3
and server4.
Bricks added to a replica 2 volume after it's been created will require
pairs of bricks,
The best way to "force" replication to happen on another server is to
just define it that way.

Yup, that's understood. The problem is when (for argument's sake) :
* We've defined 4 hosts with 10 disks each
* Each individual disk is a brick
* Replication is defined correctly when creating the volume initially
* I'm on holidays, my employer buys a single node, configures it
brick-per-disk, and the IT junior adds it to the cluster
All good up until that final point, and then I've got that fifth node
at the end replicating to itself. Node goes down some months later,
chaos ensues.
Not a GlusterFS/technology problem, but a problem with what frequently
happens at a human level. As a sysadmin, these are also things I need
to work around, even if it means deviating from best practices. :)

Silly me.
After install and attempt to mount with base version of glusterfs-fuse,
I realize that I have to change 'backupvolfile-server' mount option to
'backup-volfile-servers'[1].

Admittedly I should search the source, but I wonder if anyone knows this
offhand.
Background: of our 84 ROCKS (6.1) -provisioned compute nodes, 4 have picked
up an 'advanced date' in the /var/log/glusterfs/gl.log file - that date
string is running about 5-6 hours ahead of the system date and all the Gluster
servers (which are identical and correct). The time advancement does not
appear to be identical tho it's hard to tell since it only shows on errors and
those update irregularly.
All the clients are the same version and all the servers are the same (gluster
v 3.4.0-8.el6.x86_64
This would not be of interest except that those 4 clients are losing files,
unable to reliably do IO, etc on the gluster fs. They don't appear to be
having problems with NFS mounts, nor with a Fraunhofer FS that is also mounted
on each node,
Rebooting 2 of them has no effect - they come right back with an advanced
date.

Hi Harry,
Did you setup ntp on each of the node, and sync the time to one single
source?
Thanks.

That file is at

Try picking one to remove like it says.

If that doesn't allow it to heal, you may need to find which filename
that's hardlinked to. ls -li the gfid file at the path I demonstrated
earlier. With that inode number in hand, find $brick -inum $inode_number
Once you know which filenames it's linked with, remove all linked copies
from all but one replica. Then the self-heal can continue successfully.

Message-ID: <1386652178.1682.110.camel@tc1>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Before attempting a rebalance on my existing distributed Gluster volume
I thought I'd do some testing with my new storage. I created a volume
consisting of 4 bricks on the same server and wrote some data to it. I
then added a new brick from a another server. I ran the fix-layout and
wrote some new files and could see them on the new brick. All good so
far, so I started the data rebalance. After it had been running for a
while I wanted to add another brick, which I obviously couldn't do while
it was running so I stopped it. Even with it stopped It wouldn't let me
add a brick so I tried restarting it, but it wouldn't let me do that
either. I presume you just reissue the start command as there's no
restart?

The timestamps in the log file are by default in UTC. That could
possibly explain why the timestamps look advanced in the log file.

Do you observe anything in the client log files of these machines that
indicate I/O problems?

Hi Franco,
If a file is under migration, and a rebalance stop is encountered, then
rebalance process exits only after the completion of the migration.
That might be one of the reasons why you saw rebalance in progress message
while trying to add the brick
Could you please share the average file size in your setup?
You could always check the rebalance status command to ensure rebalance has
indeed completed/stopped before proceeding with the add-brick. Using
add-brick force while rebalance is on-going should not be used in normal
scenarios. I do see that in your case, they show stopped/completed.
Glusterd logs would help in triaging the issue.
Rebalance re-writes layouts, and migrates data. While this is happening, if
a add-brick is done, then the cluster might go into a imbalanced stated.
Hence, the check if rebalance is in progress while doing add-brick
With regards,
Shishir

A mention of replace-brick not being functional was made in the release
note for 3.4.0:
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/release-3.4/doc/release-notes/3.4.0.md

This discussion happened after the release of GlusterFS 3.4. However, I
do get the point you are trying to make here. We can have an explicit
warning in CLI when operations considered broken are attempted. There is
a similar plan to add a warning for rdma volumes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1017176
There is a patch under review currently to remove the replace-brick
command from CLI:
http://review.gluster.org/6031
This is intended for master. If you can open a bug report indicating an
appropriate warning message that you would like to see when
replace-brick is attempted, I would be happy to get such a fix in to
both 3.4 and 3.5.
Thanks,
Vijay

The status said it was stopped. I didn't do a top on the machine but are
you saying that it was still rebalancing despite saying it had stopped?

Bit hard to say, I just copied some data from our main processing

I can see that but as far as I could tell, the rebalance had stopped
according to the status.
Just to be clear, what command restarts the rebalancing?

This is quite contrary to what we have seen in the community. From a
development perspective too, we feel much better about 3.4.1. Are there
specific instances that worked well with 3.2.x which does not work fine
for you in 3.4.x?

The 'stopped' status is a little bit misleading. The rebalance process
could have been migrating a large file when the stop command was
issued, so the process would continue migrating that file and quit
once it finished. In this time period, though the status says
'stopped' the rebalance process is actually running, which prevents
other operations from happening. Ideally, we would have a 'stopping'
status which would convey the correct meaning. But for now we can only
verify that a rebalance process has actually stopped by monitoring the
actual rebalance process. The rebalance process is a 'glusterfs'
process with some arguments containing rebalance.

Thanks for clearing that up. I had to wait about 30 minutes for all
rebalancing activity to cease, then I was able to add a new brick.
What does it use to migrate the files? The copy rate was pretty slow
considering both bricks were on the same server, I only saw about
200MB/Sec. Each brick is a 16 disk ZFS raidz2, copying with dd I can get
well over 500MB/Sec.

That file is at
$brick/.glusterfs/12/62/1262d40d-46a3-4e57-b07b-0fcc972c8403
Try picking one to remove like it says.

If that doesn't allow it to heal, you may need to find which filename that's hardlinked to. ls -li the gfid file at the path I demonstrated earlier. With that inode number in hand, find $brick -inum $inode_number Once you know which filenames it's linked with, remove all linked copies from all but one replica. Then the self-heal can continue successfully.

Subject: Structure needs cleaning on some files
Message-ID: <52A6D11E.4030406@xxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Hi All,
When reading some files we get this error:
md5sum: /path/to/file.xml: Structure needs cleaning
in /var/log/glusterfs/mnt-sharedfs.log we see these errors:
[2013-12-10 08:07:32.256910] W
[client-rpc-fops.c:526:client3_3_stat_cbk] 1-testvolume-client-0: remote

[2013-12-10 08:07:32.257436] W
[client-rpc-fops.c:526:client3_3_stat_cbk] 1-testvolume-client-1: remote
operation failed: No such file or directory

0-glusterfs-fuse: 8230: STAT() /path/to/file.xml => -1 (Structure needs
cleaning)
We are using gluster 3.4.1-3 on CentOS6.
Our servers are 64-bit, our clients 32-bit (we are already using
--enable-ino32 on the mountpoint)
This is my gluster configuration:
Volume Name: testvolume
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: ca9c2f87-5d5b-4439-ac32-b7c138916df7
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: SRV-1:/gluster/brick1
Brick2: SRV-2:/gluster/brick2
Options Reconfigured:
performance.force-readdirp: on
performance.stat-prefetch: off
network.ping-timeout: 5
And this is how the applications work:
We have 2 client nodes who both have a fuse.glusterfs mountpoint.
On 1 client node we have a application which writes files.
On the other client node we have a application which reads these files.
On the node where the files are written we don't see any problem, and
can read that file without problems.
On the other node we have problems (error messages above) reading that file.
The problem occurs when we perform a md5sum on the exact file, when
perform a md5sum on all files in that directory there is no problem.
How can we solve this problem as this is annoying.
The problem occurs after some time (can be days), an umount and mount of
the mountpoint solves it for some days.
Once it occurs (and we don't remount) it occurs every time.
I hope someone can help me with this problems.
Thanks,
Johan Huysmans

987555 -?is that fixed in 3.5?Or did it even make it into 3.4.2couldn't find a note on that.Show stopper for moving from?3.2.x to anywhere for me!

I could reproduce this problem with while my mount point is running in
debug mode.
logfile is attached.

Hi guys,
thanks for all these reports. Well, I think I'll change my Raid level
to 6 and let the Raid controller build and rebuild all Raid members
and replicate again with glusterFS. I get more capacity but I need to
check if the write throughput acceptable.
I think, I can't take advantage of using glusterFS with a lot of
Bricks because I've found more cons as pros in my case.
@Ben thx for this very detailed document!
Cheers and Thanks
Heiko

Hi,
It seems I have a related problem (just posted this on the mailing list).

Hi Ben,
For glusterfs would you recommend the enterprise-storage
or throughput-performance tuned profile?
Thanks,
Andrew

Yes, this will be part of 3.4.2. Note that the original problem was due
to libvirt being rigid about the ports that it needs to use for
migrations. AFAIK this has been addressed in upstream libvirt as well.
Through this bug fix, glusterfs provides a mechanism where it can use a
separate range of ports for bricks. This configuration can be enabled to
work with other applications that do not adhere with guidelines laid out
by IANA.

Vijay

Looks like there is a metadata split-brain on /.
The split-brain resolution document at [1] can possibly be of help here.

Subject: Error after crash of Virtual Machine during
migration

<507D8C234E515F4F969362F9666D7EBBE875D1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Greetings,
Legend:
storage-gfs-3-prd - the first gluster.
storage-1-saas - new gluster where "the first gluster" had to be
migrated.
storage-gfs-4-prd - the second gluster (which had to be migrated later).
I've started command replace-brick:
'gluster volume replace-brick sa_bookshelf storage-gfs-3-prd:/ydp/shared
storage-1-saas:/ydp/shared start'
During that Virtual Machine (Xen) has crashed. Now I can't abort
migration and continue it again.
When I try:
'# gluster volume replace-brick sa_bookshelf
storage-gfs-3-prd:/ydp/shared storage-1-saas:/ydp/shared abort'
The command lasts about 5 minutes then finishes with no results. Apart
from that Gluster after that command starts behave very strange.
For example I can't do '# gluster volume heal sa_bookshelf info' because
it lasts about 5 minutes and returns black screen (the same like abort).
Then I restart Gluster server and Gluster returns to normal work except
the replace-brick commands. When I do:
'# gluster volume replace-brick sa_bookshelf
storage-gfs-3-prd:/ydp/shared storage-1-saas:/ydp/shared status'
I get:
Number of files migrated = 0 Current file=
I can do 'volume heal info' commands etc. until I call the command:
'# gluster volume replace-brick sa_bookshelf
storage-gfs-3-prd:/ydp/shared storage-1-saas:/ydp/shared abort'.
# gluster --version

Clients work properly.
I googled for that but I found that was a bug but in 3.3.0 version. How
can I repair that and continue my migration? Thank You for any help.
BTW: I moved Gluster Server via Gluster 3.4: Brick Restoration - Replace
Crashed Server how to.

Mariusz

It seems I can easily reproduce the problem.
* on node 1 create a file (touch , cat , ...).
* on node 2 take md5sum of direct file (md5sum /path/to/file)
* on node 1 move file to other name (mv file file1)
* on node 2 take md5sum of direct file (md5sum /path/to/file), this is
still working although the file is not really there
* on node 1 change file content
* on node 2 take md5sum of direct file (md5sum /path/to/file), this is
still working and has a changed md5sum
This is really strange behaviour.
Is this normal, can this be altered with a a setting?
Thanks for any info,
gr.
Johan
