Hi all,
I have promised to do some testing and I finally find some time and
infrastructure.
So I have 3 servers with Gluster 3.10.5 on CentOS 7. I created
replicated volume with arbiter (2+1) and VM on KVM (via Openstack)
with disk accessible through gfapi. Volume group is set to virt
(gluster volume set gv_openstack_1 virt). VM runs current (all
packages updated) Ubuntu Xenial.
I set up following fio job:
[job1]
ioengine=libaio
size=1g
loops=16
bs=512k
direct=1
filename=/tmp/fio.data2
When I run fio fio.job and reboot one of the data nodes, IO statistics
reported by fio drop to 0KB/0KB and 0 IOPS. After a while, root
filesystem gets remounted as read-only.
If you care about infrastructure, setup details etc., do not hesitate to ask.
Gluster info on volume:
Volume Name: gv_openstack_1
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 2425ae63-3765-4b5e-915b-e132e0d3fff1
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 1 x (2 + 1) = 3
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: gfs-2.san:/export/gfs/gv_1
Brick2: gfs-3.san:/export/gfs/gv_1
Brick3: docker3.san:/export/gfs/gv_1 (arbiter)

Partial KVM XML dump:

<alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04'

</disk>
Networking is LACP on data nodes, stack of Juniper EX4550's (10Gbps
SFP+), separate VLAN for Gluster traffic, SSD only on Gluster all
nodes (including arbiter).
I would really love to know what am I doing wrong, because this is my
experience with Gluster for a long time a and a reason I would not
recommend it as VM storage backend in production environment where you
cannot start/stop VMs on your own (e.g. providing private clouds for
customers).
