Hi! Hello to all, as being noobie on this mailing list. :) I have been trying to google and figure out this problem without success, so I am asking here for some help. As I have understood GlusterFS is should have atomic rename() operation. Am I going wrong here? I have some separate testing setups: - 2 virtual servers, low performance, two bricks on each host - 4 medium/high performance servers, few bricks on each host, 10Gbit ethernet between - Running RHEL 6.5 / kernel 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 Have tried the following versions (with out of the box settings): - glusterfs 3.5.0 built on Apr 23 2014 12:53:57 - glusterfs 3.4.2 built on Jan 3 2014 12:38:06 Tested volume is simple 2 x replicated volume with default settings "volume create storage_vol01 rep 2 transport tcp …the bricks… " In addition I have also tried disabling write/read caches on server side and bunch of other parameters, with no change. Test is run by mounting the glusterfs volume with fuse client on 2 separate hosts and running test script on both hosts: http://pastebin.com/aAUhaswM Script sleeps for a short time, if the directory given as first parameter exists, renames it as the second directory. This is repeated forever. For example: host1: python test.py 1/test_directory 2/test_directory host2: python test.py 2/test_directory 1/test_directory Both client logs are showing the following messages: [2014-05-09 07:34:41.227499] I [dht-layout.c:640:dht_layout_normalize] 2-ingest_vol-dht: found anomalies in /test/1/test_directory. holes=1 overlaps=0 [2014-05-09 07:34:41.229184] W [client-rpc-fops.c:322:client3_3_mkdir_cbk] 2-ingest_vol-client-2: remote operation failed: File exists.

Path: /test/1/test_directory After some time has passed other of the scripts raises an exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 28, in <module> main() File "test.py", line 25, in main os.rename(source_filename, destination_filename) OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy This error is reproduced always on both setups after decreasing time.sleep() parameter enough. Any advice on options / tuning that I could try to resolve this problem? Thanks in advance :) — Mikko Vatanen Applications Specialist Digital Preservation Services CSC - IT Center for Science Ltd.
