As it was mentioned, you might have to run rebalance on the other node - but it is better to wait this node is over.


Hi Strahil,

Rebalance does not need to be run on the other node - the operation is a volume wide one . Only a single node per replica set would migrate files in the version used in this case .

Thanks for the replies.  The rebalance is running and the brick percentages are not adjusting as expected:

/dev/mapper/gluster_vg-gluster_lv6_data   60T  4.6T   55T   8% /gluster_bricks/data6

At the current pace it looks like this will continue to run for another 5-6 days.

I appreciate the guidance..


What is the output of the rebalance status command?
Can you check if there are any errors in the rebalance logs on the node  on which you see rebalance activity?
If there are a lot of small files on the volume, the rebalance is expected to take time.

My apologies, that was a typo.  I meant to say:

"The rebalance is running and the brick percentages are NOW adjusting as expected"

I did expect the rebalance to take several days.  The rebalance log is not showing any errors.  Status output:

# gluster vol rebalance tank status

Thanks again for the guidance.

Thank you for the reply.

I started a rebalance with force on serverA as suggested.  Now I see 'activity' on that node:

# gluster vol rebalance tank status
                                    Node Rebalanced-files          size       scanned      failures       skipped               status  run time in h:m:s

                               serverB                  0        0Bytes             7             0             0          in progress        0:4:5
volume rebalance: tank: success

But I am not seeing any activity on serverB.  Is this expected?  Does the rebalance need to run on each node even though it says both nodes are 'in progress'?


It looks like this is a replicate volume. If that is the case then yes, you are running an old version of Gluster for which this was the default behaviour.

The rebalance status show 0 Bytes.

Maybe you should try with the 'gluster volume rebalance <VOLNAME> start force' ?

All,

RHEL 7.5
Gluster 3.8.15
2 Nodes: serverA & serverB

I am not deeply knowledgeable about Gluster and it's administration but we have a 2 node cluster that's been running for about a year and a half.  All has worked fine to date.  Our main volume has consisted of two 60TB bricks on each of the cluster nodes.  As we reached capacity on the volume we needed to expand.  So, we've added four new 60TB bricks to each of the cluster nodes.  The bricks are now seen, and the total size of the volume is as expected:

# gluster vol status tank
Status of volume: tank
Gluster process                             TCP Port  RDMA Port  Online  Pid
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brick serverA:/gluster_bricks/data1       49162     0          Y       20318

Brick serverA:/gluster_bricks/data2       49163     0          Y       20323

Brick serverA:/gluster_bricks/data3       49164     0          Y       4625
Brick serverA:/gluster_bricks/data4       49165     0          Y       4644

Self-heal Daemon on serverA.example.com   N/A       N/A        Y       6202 

After adding the bricks we ran a rebalance from serverA as:

# gluster volume rebalance tank start

The rebalance completed:

# gluster volume rebalance tank status
                                    Node Rebalanced-files          size       scanned      failures       skipped               status  run time in h:m:s

                             serverA.example.com        0        0Bytes             0             0             0            completed        0:0:0
volume rebalance: tank: success

However, when I run a df, the two original bricks still show all of the consumed space (this is the same on both nodes):

# df -hP

/dev/mapper/gluster_vg-gluster_lv3_data   60T  451M   60T   1% /gluster_bricks/data3

localhost:/tank                          355T  116T  239T  33% /mnt/tank

We were thinking that the used space would be distributed across the now 6 bricks after rebalance.  Is that not what a rebalance does?  Is this expected behavior?

Can anyone provide some guidance as to what the behavior here and if there is anything that we need to do at this point?

Thanks in advance,

HB
