How to use system.affinity/distributed.migrate-data on distributed/replicated volume?

Hi,

I have setup a glusterfs volume gv0 as distributed/replicated:

root@pm1:~# gluster volume info gv0

Volume Name: gv0
Type: Distributed-Replicate
Volume ID: 64651501-6df2-4106-b330-fdb3e1fbcdf4
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 3 x 2 = 6
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: 192.168.178.50:/gluster/brick1/gv0
Brick2: 192.168.178.76:/gluster/brick1/gv0
Brick3: 192.168.178.50:/gluster/brick2/gv0
Brick4: 192.168.178.81:/gluster/brick1/gv0
Brick5: 192.168.178.50:/gluster/brick3/gv0
Brick6: 192.168.178.82:/gluster/brick1/gv0

I use the fs to store VM files, so not many, but big files.

The distribution now put 4 big files on one brick set and only one file
on an other. This means that the one brick set it "overcommited" now as
soon as all VMs using max space. SO I would like to manually
redistribute the files a bit better.

After log googling I found that the following should work:
setfattr -n 'system.affinity' -v $location $filepath
setfattr -n 'distribute.migrate-data' -v 'force' $filepath

But I have problems with it because it gives errors or doing nothing at all.

The mounting looks like:
192.168.178.50:gv0 on /mnt/pve/glusterfs type fuse.glusterfs
(rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)


Here is what I tried for the first xattr:

root@pm1:~# setfattr -n 'system.affinity' -v 'gv0-client-5'
/mnt/pve/glusterfs/201/imagesvm201.qcow2
setfattr: /mnt/pve/glusterfs/201/imagesvm201.qcow2: Operation not supported

So I found on google to use trusted.affinity instead and yes this works.
I'm only not sure if the location "gv0-client-5" is correct to move the
file to "Brick 5" from "gluster volume info gv0" ... or how this
location is build?
Commit Message from http://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/5233/ says
> The value is the internal client or AFR brick name where you want the
file to be.

So what do I need to set there? maybe I do need the "afr" because
replicated? But where to get that name from?
I also tried to enter other client or replicate names like
"gv0-replicate-0" or such which seems to be more fitting for a
replicated volume, but result the same.


For the second command I get:
root@pm1:~# setfattr -n 'distribute.migrate-data' -v 'force'
/mnt/pve/glusterfs/201/imagesvm201.qcow2
setfattr: /mnt/pve/glusterfs/images/201/vm-201-disk-0.qcow2: Operation
not supported
root@pm1:~# setfattr -n 'trusted.distribute.migrate-data' -v 'force'
/mnt/pve/glusterfs/201/imagesvm201.qcow2
setfattr: /mnt/pve/glusterfs/images/201/vm-201-disk-0.qcow2: File exists

I also experimented with other "names" then "gv0-client-5" above but
always the same.

I saw that instead of the second command I could start a rebalance with
force, but this also did nothing. Ended after max1 second and moved nothing.

Can someone please advice how to do it right?


An other idea was to enable nufa and kind of "re-copy" the files on the
glusterfs, but here it seems that the documentation is wrong.
gluster volume set gv0 cluster.nufa enable on

Is

gluster volume set gv0 cluster.nufa 1

correct?

Thank you very much!

Ingo
