Thank you for explaining me how the symbolic linking works in the the .glusterfs directory. Now regarding your new instructions I have two questions: 1) How can I find out which directory "OC_DEFAULT_MODULE" on my master brick I should run the setfattr command on? My problem here is that there are a lot of OC_DEFAULT_MODULE directories on my brick not just only a single one. 2) If I understand your last paragraph correctly, you want me to locate the correct OC_DEFAULT_MODULE directory and recursively use setfattr on each sub-directories and/or files inside that directory, is this correct?

If you try to recursively look at the parent gfids of each of the entries then they will always point to symlinks since a directory is always represented as a symlink at the glusterfs back-end, and you will follow them up to the ROOT gfid. ----- Now, to get the OC_DEFAULT_MODULE directory replicated on the slave, you will have to set the virtual xattr on the entire directory tree in pre-order listing i.e. set the virtual xattr on the directory starting at OC_DEFAULT_MODULE and then on the entries inside the directory, and so on down the directory tree. -- Milind ----- Original Message ----- From: "ML mail" <mlnospam@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Milind Changire" <mchangir@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Gluster-users" <gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2016 12:25:26 AM Subject: Re: geo-rep: remote operation failed - No such file or directory Hi Milind, Thanks for the instructions for forcing the data sync of a specific file. I was not able to do that as I have discovered something even more weird by trying to find out the concerned file by GFID with the find command as you suggested. Indeed it looks like I have a symbolic link pointing to another one and then to another and so on, as you can see below: $ find .glusterfs -name c4b19f1c-cc18-4727-87a4-18de8fe0089e -ls 228215 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 66 Feb 19 08:52 .glusterfs/c4/b1/c4b19f1c-cc18-4727-87a4-18de8fe0089e -> ../../92/1b/921bfe8e-81ef-4579-b335-abfa2c7e6afb/OC_DEFAULT_MODULE $ ls -la 92/1b/921bfe8e-81ef-4579-b335-abfa2c7e6afb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 79 Feb 19 08:52 92/1b/921bfe8e-81ef-4579-b335-abfa2c7e6afb -> ../../d7/9f/d79f2ebd-029c-4ac5-8074-5eef7ff21236/160201_File_1602_XX.xls $ ls -la d7/9f/d79f2ebd-029c-4ac5-8074-5eef7ff21236 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 Feb 15 07:34 d7/9f/d79f2ebd-029c-4ac5-8074-5eef7ff21236 -> ../../fd/ea/fdea1fc6-0f2a-43d2-8776-651cc6ea73e8/1602 $ ls -la fd/ea/fdea1fc6-0f2a-43d2-8776-651cc6ea73e8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 Feb 15 07:29 fd/ea/fdea1fc6-0f2a-43d2-8776-651cc6ea73e8 -> ../../20/25/20253364-add8-4149-a7cf-cf46d237a45c/Banana Is this normal?

However, changelogs generated due to logrotate scenario will still cause geo-replication to go into Faulty state frequently if geo-replication fails and restarts. The patches mentioned in an earlier mail are being worked upon and finalized. They will be available soon in a release which will avoid geo-replication going into a Faulty state. -- Milind ----- Original Message ----- From: "ML mail" <mlnospam@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Milind Changire" <mchangir@xxxxxxxxxx>, "Gluster-users" <gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 22, 2016 1:27:14 PM Subject: Re: geo-rep: remote operation failed - No such file or directory Hi Milind, Any news on this issue?

Indeed that's exactly what happens, as soon as I restart geo-rep it replays the same over and over as it does not succeed. Now regarding the sequence of the file management operations I am not totally sure how it works but I can tell you that we are using ownCloud v8.2.2 (www.owncloud.org) and as storage for this cloud software we use GlusterFS. So it is very probable that ownCloud works like that: when a user uploads a new file if first creates it with another temporary name which it then either renames or moves after successful upload. I have the feeling this issue is related to my initial issue which I have reported earlier this month: https://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2016-February/025176.html For now my question would be how do I get to restart geo-replication succesfully?

Since the last CHANGELOG is replayed by geo-rep on a restart, you'll most probably encounter the same log messages in the logs. Are the .part files CREATEd, RENAMEd and DELETEd with the same name often? Are the operations somewhat in the following sequence that happen on the geo-replication master cluster? CREATE f1.part RENAME f1.part f1 DELETE f1 CREATE f1.part RENAME f1.part f1 ... ... If not, then it would help if you could send the sequence of file management operations. -- Milind ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kotresh Hiremath Ravishankar" <khiremat@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "ML mail" <mlnospam@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Gluster-users" <gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx>, "Milind Changire" <mchangir@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2016 6:28:21 PM Subject: Re: geo-rep: remote operation failed - No such file or directory Ccing Milind, he would be able to help Thanks and Regards, Kotresh H R ----- Original Message ----- > From: "ML mail" <mlnospam@xxxxxxxxx> > To: "Gluster-users" <gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Monday, February 15, 2016 4:41:56 PM > Subject: geo-rep: remote operation failed - No such file or directory > > Hello, > > I noticed that the geo-replication of a volume has STATUS "Faulty" and while > looking in the *.gluster.log file in > /var/log/glusterfs/geo-replication-slaves/ on my slave I can see the > following relevant problem: > > [2016-02-15 10:58:40.402516] I [rpc-clnt.c:1847:rpc_clnt_reconfig] > 0-myvolume-geo-client-0: changing port to 49152 (from 0) > [2016-02-15 10:58:40.403928] I [MSGID: 114057] > [client-handshake.c:1437:select_server_supported_programs] > 0-myvolume-geo-client-0: Using Program GlusterFS 3.3, Num (1298437), Version > (330) > [2016-02-15 10:58:40.404130] I [MSGID: 114046] > [client-handshake.c:1213:client_setvolume_cbk] 0-myvolume-geo-client-0: > Connected to myvolume-geo-client-0, attached to remote volume > '/data/myvolume-geo/brick'. > [2016-02-15 10:58:40.404150] I [MSGID: 114047] > [client-handshake.c:1224:client_setvolume_cbk] 0-myvolume-geo-client-0: > Server and Client lk-version numbers are not same, reopening the fds > [2016-02-15 10:58:40.410150] I [fuse-bridge.c:5137:fuse_graph_setup] 0-fuse: > switched to graph 0 > [2016-02-15 10:58:40.410223] I [MSGID: 114035] > [client-handshake.c:193:client_set_lk_version_cbk] 0-myvolume-geo-client-0: > Server lk version = 1 > [2016-02-15 10:58:40.410370] I [fuse-bridge.c:4030:fuse_init] > 0-glusterfs-fuse: FUSE inited with protocol versions: glusterfs 7.22 kernel > 7.23 > [2016-02-15 10:58:45.662416] I [MSGID: 109066] [dht-rename.c:1411:dht_rename] > 0-myvolume-geo-dht: renaming > /.gfid/94310944-7f8a-421d-a51f-1e23e28da9cc/Bild_03_Rosen.JPG-chunking-2242590604-0.FpKL3SIUb9vKHyjd.part > (hash=myvolume-geo-client-0/cache=myvolume-geo-client-0) => > /.gfid/94310944-7f8a-421d-a51f-1e23e28da9cc/Bild_03_Rosen.JPG-chunking-2242590604-0 > (hash=myvolume-geo-client-0/cache=<nul>) > [2016-02-15 10:58:45.665144] I [MSGID: 109066] [dht-rename.c:1411:dht_rename] > 0-myvolume-geo-dht: renaming > /.gfid/94310944-7f8a-421d-a51f-1e23e28da9cc/Bild_03_Rosen.JPG-chunking-2242590604-1.C6l0DEurb2y3Azw4.part > (hash=myvolume-geo-client-0/cache=myvolume-geo-client-0) => > /.gfid/94310944-7f8a-421d-a51f-1e23e28da9cc/Bild_03_Rosen.JPG-chunking-2242590604-1 > (hash=myvolume-geo-client-0/cache=<nul>) > [2016-02-15 10:58:45.749829] I [MSGID: 109066] [dht-rename.c:1411:dht_rename] > 0-myvolume-geo-dht: renaming > /.gfid/94310944-7f8a-421d-a51f-1e23e28da9cc/Bild_02_Pilz.JPG-chunking-628343631-0.ajEnSguUZ7EkzjzT.part > (hash=myvolume-geo-client-0/cache=myvolume-geo-client-0) => > /.gfid/94310944-7f8a-421d-a51f-1e23e28da9cc/Bild_02_Pilz.JPG-chunking-628343631-0 > (hash=myvolume-geo-client-0/cache=<nul>) > [2016-02-15 10:58:45.750225] W [MSGID: 114031] > [client-rpc-fops.c:2971:client3_3_lookup_cbk] 0-myvolume-geo-client-0: > remote operation failed.
