What to do with split-brain on / (root)

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

 




Hi,

We have a 2 server replica gluster, about 10TB (5 bricks) on each side. The servers are fairly high-end and are connected via a private ethernet connection, appearing to replicate with each other very quickly.

Running Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and GlusterFS 3.4.1 on the servers.

They're working quite heavily in production and downtime is difficult to arrange.

We've had a lot of trouble with split-brain, where files/dirs on both sides appear identical
(md5sum, datestamps, etc) but I've fixed most of them by erasing the affected files 
on one side and letting it re-sync.

However, we're left with split brain on '/' and several top level directories. 
I'm uncomfortable erasing that much of one side to solve the problem.

any advice?
