Vijay,
But it seems like self-heal's fd is able to perform 'writes'.
Shouldn't it be uniform if it is the problem with xfs?
The problem is not with xfs alone. It is due to a combination of several
factors including disk sector size, xfs sector size and the nature of
writes being performed. With cache=none, qemu does O_DIRECT open() which
necessitates proper alignment for write operations to happen
successfully. Self-heal does not open() with O_DIRECT and hence write
operations initiated by self-heal go through.
I was also guessing it could be related to O_DIRECT. Anyway to fix that?
One option might be to enable option "network.remote-dio" on the
glusterfs volume. Fabio - can you please check if this works?
Wonder why it has to happen only on one of the bricks.
I suspect that the bricks are not completely identical. Hence it does go
through on one and fails on the other.
