Hello Ravi,

Thank you for reply. Found bug number (for those who will google the email) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1112158

Accessing the removed file from mount-point is not always working because we have to find a special client which DHT will point to the brick with removed file. Otherwise the file will be accessed from good brick and self-healing will not happen (just verified). Or by accessing you meant something like touch?

Sorry should have been more explicit. I meant triggering a lookup on that file with `stat filename`. I don't think you need a special client. DHT sends the lookup to AFR which in turn sends to all its children. When one of them returns ENOENT (because you removed it from the brick), AFR will automatically trigger heal. I'm guessing it is not always working in your case due to caching at various levels and the lookup not coming till AFR. If you do it from a fresh mount ,it should always work.

Hello,

While testing healing after bitrot error it was found that self healing cannot heal files which were manually deleted from brick. Gluster 3.8.1:

- Create volume, mount it locally and copy test file to it
[root@srv01 ~]# gluster volume create test01 replica 2  srv01:/R1/test01 srv02:/R1/test01
volume create: test01: success: please start the volume to access data
[root@srv01 ~]# gluster volume start test01
volume start: test01: success
[root@srv01 ~]# mount -t glusterfs srv01:/test01 /mnt
[root@srv01 ~]# cp /etc/passwd /mnt
[root@srv01 ~]# ls -l /mnt
итого 2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1505 авг 16 19:59 passwd

- Then remove test file from first brick like we have to do in case of bitrot error in the file

You also need to remove all hard-links to the corrupted file from the brick, including the one in the .glusterfs folder.
There is a bug in heal-full that prevents it from crawling all bricks of the replica. The right way to heal the corrupted files as of now is to access them from the mount-point like you did after removing the hard-links. The list of files that are corrupted can be obtained with the scrub status command.

Hope this helps,
Ravi

[root@srv01 ~]# rm /R1/test01/passwd
[root@srv01 ~]# ls -l /mnt
итого 0
[root@srv01 ~]#

- Issue full self heal
[root@srv01 ~]# gluster volume heal test01 full
Launching heal operation to perform full self heal on volume test01 has been successful
Use heal info commands to check status
[root@srv01 ~]# tail -2 /var/log/glusterfs/glustershd.log
[2016-08-16 16:59:56.483767] I [MSGID: 108026] [afr-self-heald.c:611:afr_shd_full_healer] 0-test01-replicate-0: starting full sweep on subvol test01-client-0
[2016-08-16 16:59:56.486560] I [MSGID: 108026] [afr-self-heald.c:621:afr_shd_full_healer] 0-test01-replicate-0: finished full sweep on subvol test01-client-0

- Now we still see no files in mount point (it becomes empty right after removing file from the brick)
[root@srv01 ~]# ls -l /mnt
итого 0
[root@srv01 ~]#

- Then try to access file by using full name (lookup-optimize and readdir-optimize are turned off by default). Now glusterfs shows the file!
[root@srv01 ~]# ls -l /mnt/passwd
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1505 авг 16 19:59 /mnt/passwd

- And it reappeared in the brick
[root@srv01 ~]# ls -l /R1/test01/
итого 4
-rw-r--r--. 2 root root 1505 авг 16 19:59 passwd
[root@srv01 ~]#

Is it a bug or we can tell self heal to scan all files on all bricks in the volume?
