Please note that I just started to use gluster recently ... I have a replicated gluster installation: two servers with six bricks each, and I have a total of 14TB of data under a single "replica 2" volume. After replacing an hard disk and doing something wrong in the process, I decided to delete and recreate the volume with the very same bricks and this apparently worked so that no data were lost (I followed the few steps required to rebuild a volume from previously used bricks), but now I've a strange behaviour: if I know the full path of a file, I can access it via the gluster mount point, but neither "ls" or "find" is working. I.e.: (Note: /ao-data is the glusterfs mount point) I can see with ls a file if I know the full path: [root@aostore1 glusterfs]# ls -l /ao-data/lbtdata/adsecdx/aolog/AOARB.R.log -rw-r--r--. 1 archiver archiver 182678 13 apr 2015 /ao-data/lbtdata/adsecdx/aolog/AOARB.R.log but if I try to list the directory containing that file, or any ancestor directory: [root@aostore1 glusterfs]# ls -l /ao-data/lbtdata/adsecdx/aolog/ total 0 [root@aostore1 glusterfs]# ls -al /ao-data/lbtdata/adsecdx total 0 [root@aostore1 glusterfs]# ls -al /ao-data/lbtdata total 0 [root@aostore1 glusterfs]# ls -al /ao-data total 124 drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 24576 17 ott 14.59 . drwxr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 17 ott 15.05 .. drwxr-xr-x. 8 root root 24576 12 ott 13.42 lbtdata drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 24576 16 set 14.10 misc drwxrwxr-x. 8 archiver archiver 24576 14 ott 03.59 simul_backup drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 24576 17 ott 14.59 .trashcan As shown by the last command, the three topmost directories are listed, but that's all. They, too, are apparently empty. I tried to force healing, to do rebalance, with no success. The only effect of rebalance was many error lines in file ao-data-rebalance.log, like the following: [2015-10-19 22:29:55.134097] E [MSGID: 109010] [dht-rebalance.c:1950:gf_defrag_get_entry] 0-ao-data-dht: /simul_backup/data3 gfid not present This is clearly due to my naive approach, but I'd be grateful for any hint on how to restore the proper functioning.
