Re: back to problems: gluster 3.5.4, qemu and debian 8

[Roman <romeo.r@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

thanks for reply. 

If it would be networking related, it would affect everything. But it is only debian 8 which won't install.

And yes, i did iperf test between gluster and proxmox nodes. Its ok.

Installation fails on every node, where i try to install d8. Sometimes it goes well (today 1 of 6 tries was fine). Other distros install fine.

Sometimes installation process finishes, but VM won't start, just hangs with errors like in this attached.

We don't have this issue, I'll take a stab tho-

Have you confirmed everything is good on the network side of things? MTU/Loss/Errors?

Is your inconsistency linked to one specific brick? Have you tried running a replica instead of distributed?

here is one of the errors example. its like files that debian installer copies to the virtual disk that is located on glusterfs storage are getting corrupted.

in-target is /dev/vda1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS base install and then mate install were fine!

Bah... the randomness of this issue is killing me.

Not only HA volumes are affected. Got an error during installation of d8 with mate (on python-gtk2 pkg) on Distributed volume also. 

I've checked the MD5SUM of installation iso, its ok.

Shortly after that on the same VE node I installed D7 with Gnome without any problem on the HA glusterf volume.

And on the same VE node I've installed D8 with both Mate and Gnome using local storage disks without problems. There is a bug somewhere in gluster or qemu... Proxmox uses RH kernel btw:

Linux services 2.6.32-37-pve

QEMU emulator version 2.2.1

glusterfs 3.6.4

any ideas?

I'm ready to help to investigate this bug.

When sun will shine, I'll try to install latest Ubuntu also. But now I'm going to sleep.

So, just to conclude this:

upgraded to 3.6.4

problem still exists and is only with D8 and gluster HA volumes. Someone from devs really should test it.

Hi,

I've reported a lot about this, but every  time there was something that
made me think, that it was not a glusterfs problem, but it seems it is.

Please, some1 from dev-s, setup a very simple installation:

lates proxmox
glusterfs server and client 3.5.4
and try to install debian jessie (8) on such platform.

You will be out of luck every single try with random errors. Even if you
will get a lucky bird and install the OS itself, you will fail on any
installation that requires a lot of small files to download and unpack:
like gnome3 installation ie. the files a being corrupted.

Need help with this ASAP.
