Re: adding arbiter

So the corruption bug is seen iff your vms are online while fix-layout and/or rebalance is going on.
Does that answer your question?

The same issue has now been root-caused and there will be a fix for it soon by Raghavendra G.

I think it is triggered only on rebalance.

Though I have still no idea if adding an arbiter afterwards needs
rebalance or not, and as this should only write file refernce (and no
data) on the arbiter, this should not touch anything on the data side. I
though wanted to be sure before doing this on a production environment.

The bug has been discussed in the mailing list. There are a couple of
patches that went into 3.8.10

https://review.gluster.org/#/c/16749/
https://review.gluster.org/#/c/16750/

though I'm not sure this solved the problem or not.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1387878

If you look at the mailing list archive you can find more information on
this.

Currently I'm not using shardin, though as I'm using gluster to host VM
in case of some problems to one of the hosts healing would require lots
of CPU and time to recover the files.
Sharding should solve this, but I'd rather wait the time for it to heal,
then have to go through a restore from a backup cause there was data
corruption.

Any hint would really be appreciated.
