Hi, I have a distributed-disperse 7 x (2 + 1) volume that I want to remove three bricks from: Volume Name: glance Type: Distributed-Disperse Volume ID: 34a962cc-be73-480e-a9f7-8dbd9c7ca066 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 7 x (2 + 1) = 21 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: block8:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick2: block15:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick3: dxl3:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick4: block1:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick5: block9:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick6: block16:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick7: block2:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick8: block10:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick9: block20:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick10: block3:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick11: block11:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick12: block21:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick13: dxl1:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick14: block12:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick15: block17:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick16: dxl2:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick17: block13:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick18: block22:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick19: block14:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick20: block18:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Brick21: block23:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance Options Reconfigured: cluster.min-free-disk: 200GB performance.readdir-ahead: on In this case, I've chosen dxl2, block13, and block22 (which are part of the same disperse set). # gluster volume remove-brick glance block22:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance block13:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance dxl2:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance start # gluster volume remove-brick glance block22:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance block13:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance dxl2:/dpool/gluster/brick1/glance status Node Rebalanced-files size scanned failures skipped status run time in h:m:s --------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ -------------- dxl2 0 0Bytes 0 0 0 completed 0:0:1 block13 0 0Bytes 0 0 0 completed 0:0:1 Before starting this, I created 4096 random files in a directory. 565 of them are found in /dpool/gluster/brick1/glance on each of those bricks and nowhere else. After running the remove-brick the files stayed on those systems and didn't appear anywhere else, despite the logs showing that a rebalance occurred: [dxl2] # tail -100 /var/log/glusterfs/glance-rebalance.log [2016-05-26 16:25:35.409904] I [MSGID: 109028] [dht-rebalance.c:3831:gf_defrag_status_get] 0-glance-dht: Rebalance is completed. Time taken is 1.00 secs Attempts to manually rebalance failed because the remove-brick task hadn't yet been committed. If I commit the remove-brick, the system switches to a 6 x (2 + 1) configuration which is what I wanted, but all 565 of the files that were on the now-removed disperse set are no longer available anywhere. Is this a bug? Or am I misunderstanding how to remove a disperse set from a distributed-disperse volume? I'm running 3.7.11 on CentOS 7. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
