and still mounting using glusterfs will work just fine.

OK but what if you use it with replication? Do you still see the error? I think not.

Could you give it a try and tell me what you find?

Hi,

Do not use sharding and stripe together in the same volume because

a) It is not recommended and there is no point in using both. Using sharding alone on your volume should work fine.

b) Nobody tested it.

c) Like Niels said, stripe feature is virtually deprecated.

I would suggest that you create an nx3 volume where n is the number of distribute subvols you prefer, enable group virt options on it, and enable sharding on it,
set the shard-block-size that you feel appropriate and then just start off with VM image creation etc.

If you run into any issues even after you do this, let us know and we'll help you out.

Thanks Krutika,

I have deleted the volume and created a new one.
I found that it may be an issue with the NFS itself, i have created a new striped volume and enabled sharding and mounted it via glusterfs and it worked just fine, if i mount it with nfs it will fail and gives me the same errors.

Hi,

So could you share the xattrs associated with the file at <BRICK_PATH>/.glusterfs/c3/e8/c3e88cc1-7e0a-4d46-9685-2d12131a5e1c

Here's what you need to execute:

# getfattr -d -m . -e hex /mnt/b1/v/.glusterfs/c3/e8/c3e88cc1-7e0a-4d46-9685-2d12131a5e1c      on the first node and

# getfattr -d -m . -e hex /mnt/b2/v/.glusterfs/c3/e8/c3e88cc1-7e0a-4d46-9685-2d12131a5e1c      on the second.

Also, it is normally advised to use a replica 3 volume as opposed to replica 2 volume to guard against split-brains.

And it is well tested.

Basically the "striping" feature is deprecated, "sharding" is its
improved replacement. I expect to see "striping" completely dropped in
the next major release.

Niels

Couple of things to note before you do that:
1. Most of the bug fixes in sharding have gone into 3.7.8. So it is advised
that you use 3.7.8 or above.
2. When you enable sharding on a volume, already existing files in the
volume do not get sharded. Only the files that are newly created from the
time sharding is enabled will.
    If you do want to shard the existing files, then you would need to cp
them to a temp name within the volume, and then rename them back to the
original file name.

i did follow up with some of threads in the mailing list and tried some

Is it possible the LSI has write-cache enabled?

Why is that relevant? Even the backing filesystem has no idea if there is
a RAID or write cache or whatever. There are blocks and sync(), end of
story.
If you lose power and screw up your recovery OR do funky stuff with SAS
multipathing that might be an issue with a controller cache. AFAIK thats
not what we are talking about.

I'm afraid but unless the OP has some logs from the server, a
reproducible testcase or a backtrace from client or server this isn't
getting us anywhere.

I'd look through mail archives for a topic "Shard in Production" I

Is their a raid controller perhaps doing any caching?

In the gluster logs any errors being reported during migration

Since they aren't in use yet have you tested making just mirrored
bricks
using different pairings of servers two at a time to see if problem
follows
certain machine or network ports?

Appreciate your help.

Most reports of this I have seen end up being settings related.  Post

I'd hazard a guess you may have some the read ahead cache or prefetch
