Hi Karli,
I'm not 100% sure this is related, but when I set up my ZFS NFS HA per https://github.com/ewwhite/zfs-ha/wiki I was not able to get the failover to work with NFS v4 but only with NFS v3.
From the client point of view, it really looked like with NFS v4 there is an open file handle and that just goes stale and hangs, or something like that, whereas with NFSv3 the client retries and recovers and continues. I did not investigate further, I just use v3. I think it has something to do with NFSv4 being "stateful" and NFSv3 being "stateless".
Can you re-run your test but using NFSv3 on the client mount? Or do you need to use v4.x?
Regards,
Alex

Thanks Kaleb and Edy!
I have now redone the cluster using the latest and greatest following
the above guide and repeated the same test I was doing before (the
rsync while loop) with success. I let (forgot) it run for about a day
and it was still chugging along nicely when I aborted it, so success
there!
On to the next test; the catastrophic failure test- where one of the
servers dies, I'm having a more difficult time with.
1) I start with mounting the share over NFS 4.1 and then proceed with
writing a 8 GiB large random data file with 'dd', while "hard-cutting"
the power to the server I'm writing to, the transfer just stops
indefinitely, until the server comes back again. Is that supposed to
happen? Like this:
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/var/tmp/test.bin bs=1M count=8192
# mount -o vers=4.1 hv03v.localdomain:/data /mnt/
# dd if=/var/tmp/test.bin of=/mnt/test.bin bs=1M status=progress
2434793472 bytes (2,4 GB, 2,3 GiB) copied, 42 s, 57,9 MB/s
(here I cut the power and let it be for almost two hours before turning
it on again)
dd: error writing '/mnt/test.bin': Remote I/O error
2325+0 records in
2324+0 records out
2436890624 bytes (2,4 GB, 2,3 GiB) copied, 6944,84 s, 351 kB/s
# umount /mnt
Here the unmount command hung and I had to hard reset the client.
2) Another question I have is why some files "change" as you copy them
out to the Gluster storage? Is that the way it should be? This time, I
deleted eveything in the destination directory to start over:
# mount -o vers=4.1 hv03v.localdomain:/data /mnt/
# rm -f /mnt/test.bin
# dd if=/var/tmp/test.bin of=/mnt/test.bin bs=1M status=progress
8557428736 bytes (8,6 GB, 8,0 GiB) copied, 122 s, 70,1 MB/s
8192+0 records in
8192+0 records out
8589934592 bytes (8,6 GB, 8,0 GiB) copied, 123,039 s, 69,8 MB/s
# md5sum /var/tmp/test.bin
073867b68fa8eaa382ffe05adb90b583 /var/tmp/test.bin
# md5sum /mnt/test.bin
634187d367f856f3f5fb31846f796397 /mnt/test.bin
# umount /mnt
Thanks in advance!
