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

[Roman <romeo.r@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've done this way: installed debian8 on local disks using netinstall iso, created a template of it and then cloned (full clone) it to glusterfs storage backend. VM boots and runs fine... untill I start to install something massive (DE ie). Last time it was mate failed to install due to python-gtk2 package problems (complaing that it could not compile it)

What happens if you install from a full CD and not a net-install?

Limit the variables.  Currently you are relying on remote mirrors and Internet connectivity.

It's either a Proxmox or Debian issue, I really don't think it's Gluster.  We have hundreds of Jessie installs running on GlusterFS backends.

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.
