Hi Karthik,

Thanks a lot for the explanation.

Does it mean a distributed volume health can be checked only by "gluster volume status " command?

Yes. I am not aware of any other command which can give the status of plain distribute volume which is similar to the heal info command for replicate/disperse volumes.

And one more question: cluster.min-free-disk is 10% by default. What kind of "side effects" can we face if this option will be reduced to, for example, 5%? Could you point to any best practice document(s)?

Yes you can decrease it to any value. There won't be any side effect.

Small correction here, min-free-disk should ideally be set to larger than the largest file size likely to be written. Decreasing it beyond a point raises the likelihood of the brick getting full which is a very bad state to be in.
Will update you if I get some document which explains this thing. Sorry for the previous statement.

Karthik

Hi Anatoliy,

The heal command is basically used to heal any mismatching contents between replica copies of the files.

For the command "gluster volume heal <volname>" to succeed, you should have the self-heal-daemon running,
which is true only if your volume is of type replicate/disperse.

In your case you have a plain distribute volume where you do not store the replica of any files.

So the volume heal will return you the error.

Karthik

Hi,


Maybe someone can point me to a documentation or explain this? I can't find it myself.
Do we have any other useful resources except doc.gluster.org? As I see many gluster options are not described there or there are no explanation what is doing...

Hello,

We have a very fresh gluster 3.10.10 installation.
Our volume is created as distributed volume, 9 bricks 96TB in total
(87TB after 10% of gluster disk space reservation)

For some reasons I can't "heal" the volume:
# gluster volume heal gv0
Launching heal operation to perform index self heal on volume gv0 has
been unsuccessful on bricks that are down. Please check if all brick
processes are running.

Which processes should be run on every brick for heal operation?
