Re: Debian Jessie (8) qemu-kvm VM and glusterfs as backend storage

Yes, I think it is networking related also.
I've tested with ping -f -s 1000 - no losses, but it seems to me, that D8 loses it's connectivity due to some reason. Maybe driver, May be something else, not the line between servers as I just got the same problem on the network of 2 switches (the problem I described above appears at the range of 14 km, but it is only 0,1 ms further, than LAN :) 0,1 ms vs 0,2 ms. Seems like D8 network driver has changed. Well, I think there is no way to debug it on acceptable level for Debian guys, so I will wait for 8.1 or even 8.2. Its too raw anyways. Thanks for your idea.

It sounds like a network problem to me. Verify with iperf between your client and each server.

Hey,


Seems like the problem exists.

I've got 4 instances of proxmox. I've started to update glusterfs some day to the latest (3.5.3) but I've done the server side and forgot about client side. One of proxmox instances was replaced today and installed the 3.5.3 client. So the problem is between 3.5.3 server and 3.5.3 client. then I've updated glusterfs on other proxmox node and had same problem with d8 install.

There is just no go with debian 8 install and qcow file format. If I use raw file format for kvm, installation takes ages.

Need fix asap, as this is you stable gluster version... we are running this on in production.

Hi,

Are there any issues with debian8 and glusterfs?


Got this setup:
1. promox 3.4
2. gluster 3.5.3 both server and client (I use gluster repo on proxmox server)
3. HA gluster volume

What I'm trying to do:
task: create a VM with debian 8, using glusterfs HA volume over 1G network as a place for VM disk file
result: 
a) using raw file format - installation process takes ages (6 hours), but when finished, VM looks weird: packages installations go slowly (downloads fast, but installs slow). Same time getting files over internet gives me usual speed (around 96MB/s, yes, I'm on 1G connection)
b) Using qcow format installation process randomly stops at random step: getting packages from the repository or installing packages after donwnloaded them ...

c) If i convert VM  with RAW file format to template and then create a VM using this template, but selecting qcow format, VM runs smoothly.

Meanwhile, there are lots of VMs on the same gluster storage (debian7, centos6, ubuntu) running without any problems.

I've started topic on proxmox forum, but devs saying, it should be upto glusterfs :(

Any advice or experiences? 


PS
installing deb8 on local storage goes well, without any problems.
installing deb7 on the same setup (same VM even, just another virtual driver) is ok.
