I tried the same steps that you mentioned multiple times, but heal is running to completion without any issues.

It must be said that 'heal full' traverses the files and directories in a depth-first order and does heals also in the same order. But if it gets interrupted in the middle (say because self-heal-daemon was either intentionally or unintentionally brought offline and then brought back up), self-heal will only pick up the entries that are so far marked as new-entries that need heal which it will find in indices/xattrop directory. What this means is that those files and directories that were not visited during the crawl, will remain untouched and unhealed in this second iteration of heal, unless you execute a 'heal-full' again.

So should it start healing shards as it crawls or not until after it crawls the entire .shard directory?  At the pace it was going that could be a week with one node appearing in the cluster but with no shard files if anything tries to access a file on that node.  From my experience other day telling it to heal full again did nothing regardless of node used.


My suspicion is that this is what happened on your setup. Could you confirm if that was the case?

Brick was brought online with force start then a full heal launched.  Hours later after it became evident that it was not adding new files to heal I did try restarting self-heal daemon and relaunching full heal again. But this was after the heal had basically already failed to work as intended.

OK. How did you figure it was not adding any new files? I need to know what places you were monitoring to come to this conclusion.

As far as I know their are only 2 ways to monitor the heal process in anyway.


gluster volume heal <> info
This lists the actual files needing healed.

gluster volume heal <> statistics heal-count
This lists just number of files in previous command

Both commands when run came to same conclusions about number of files needing healed

If their is another way to tell if a heal is in operation or progressing I have not found any documentation.

As for those logs, I did manager to do something that caused these warning messages you shared earlier to appear in my client and server logs.
Although these logs are annoying and a bit scary too, they didn't do any harm to the data in my volume. Why they appear just after a brick is replaced and under no other circumstances is something I'm still investigating.

But for future, it would be good to follow the steps Anuradha gave as that would allow self-heal to at least detect that it has some repairing to do whenever it is restarted whether intentionally or otherwise.

I followed those steps as described on my test box and ended up with exact same outcome of adding shards at an agonizing slow pace and no creation of .shard directory or heals on shard directory.  Directories visible from mount healed quickly.  This was with one VM so it has only 800 shards as well.  After hours at work it had added a total of 33 shards to be healed.  I sent those logs yesterday as well though not the glustershd.

Does replace-brick command copy files in same manner?  For these purposes I am contemplating just skipping the heal route.

You should be doing this over gluster mount.

full heal will stop once the crawl is done. So if you want to trigger heal again,
run gluster v heal <>. Actually even brick up or volume start force should
trigger the heal.

Did this on test bed today.  its one server with 3 bricks on same machine so take that for what its worth.  also it still runs 3.8.2.  Maybe ill update and re-run test.

killed brick
deleted brick dir
recreated brick dir
created fake dir on gluster mount
set suggested fake attribute on it
ran volume start <> force

looked at files it said needed healing and it was just 8 shards that were modified for few minutes I ran through steps

gave it few minutes and it stayed same
ran gluster volume <> heal

it healed all the directories and files you can see over mount including fakedir.  

same issue for shards though.  it adds more shards to heal at glacier pace.  slight jump in speed if I stat every file and dir in VM running but not all shards.

It started with 8 shards to heal and is now only at 33 out of 800 and probably wont finish adding for few days at rate it goes.
