Hello

maybe this is more glustefs then ovirt related but since OVirt integrates Gluster management and I'm experiencing the problem in an ovirt cluster, I'm writing here.

The problem is simple: I have a data domain mappend on a replica 3 arbiter1 Gluster volume with 6 bricks, like this:

Status of volume: data_ssd
Gluster process                             TCP Port  RDMA Port  Online  Pid

Now, I've put in maintenance the vm04 host, from ovirt, ticking the "Stop gluster" checkbox, and Ovirt didn't complain about anything. But when I tried to run a new VM it complained about "storage I/O problem", while the storage data status was always UP.

Looking in the gluster logs I can see this:

Does `gluster volume heal data_ssd info split-brain` report that the file is in split-brain, with vm04 still being down?
If yes, could you provide the extended attributes of this gfid from all 3 bricks:
getfattr -d -m . -e hex /path/to/brick/bf/59/bf5922b7-19f3-4ce3-98df-71e981ecca8d

If no, then I'm guessing that it is not in actual split-brain (hence the 'Possible split-brain' message). If the node you brought down contains the only good copy of the file (i.e the other data brick and arbiter are up, and the arbiter 'blames' this other brick), all I/O is failed with EIO to prevent file from getting into actual split-brain. The heals will happen when the good node comes up and I/O should be allowed again in that case.

Now, how is it possible to have a split brain if I stopped just ONE server which had just ONE of six bricks, and it was cleanly shut down with maintenance mode from ovirt?

I created the volume originally this way:
# gluster volume create data_ssd replica 3 arbiter 1 vm01.storage.billy:/gluster/ssd/data/brick vm02.storage.billy:/gluster/ssd/data/brick vm03.storage.billy:/gluster/ssd/data/arbiter_brick vm03.storage.billy:/gluster/ssd/data/brick vm04.storage.billy:/gluster/ssd/data/brick vm02.storage.billy:/gluster/ssd/data/arbiter_brick
# gluster volume set data_ssd group virt
# gluster volume set data_ssd storage.owner-uid 36 && gluster volume set data_ssd storage.owner-gid 36
# gluster volume start data_ssd
