I'm trying to manually garbage data on bricks (when the volume is stopped) and then check whether healing is possible. For example: Start: # glusterd --debug Bricks (on EXT4 mounted with 'rw,realtime'): # mkdir /root/data0 # mkdir /root/data1 # mkdir /root/data2 Volume: # gluster volume create gv0 replica 3 [local-ip]:/root/data0 [local-ip]:/root/data1 [local-ip]:/root/data2 force volume create: gv0: success: please start the volume to access data # gluster volume start gv0 volume start: gv0: success Mount: # mkdir /mnt/gv0 # mount -t glusterfs [local-ip]:/gv0 /mnt/gv0 WARNING: getfattr not found, certain checks will be skipped.. Create file: # openssl rand 65536 > /mnt/gv0/64K # md5sum /mnt/gv0/64K ca53c9c1b6cd78f59a91cd1b0b866ed9 /mnt/gv0/64K Umount and down the volume: # umount /mnt/gv0 # gluster volume stop gv0 Stopping volume will make its data inaccessible. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y volume stop: gv0: success Check data on bricks: # md5sum /root/data[012]/64K ca53c9c1b6cd78f59a91cd1b0b866ed9 /root/data0/64K ca53c9c1b6cd78f59a91cd1b0b866ed9 /root/data1/64K ca53c9c1b6cd78f59a91cd1b0b866ed9 /root/data2/64K Seems OK. Then garbage all: # openssl rand 65536 > /root/data0/64K # openssl rand 65536 > /root/data1/64K # openssl rand 65536 > /root/data2/64K # md5sum /root/data[012]/64K c69096d15007578dab95d9940f89e167 /root/data0/64K b85292fb60f1a1d27f1b0e3bc6bfdfae /root/data1/64K c2e90335cc2f600ddab5c53a992b2bb6 /root/data2/64K Restart the volume and start full heal: # gluster volume start gv0 volume start: gv0: success # /usr/glusterfs/sbin/gluster volume heal gv0 full Launching heal operation to perform full self heal on volume gv0 has been successful Use heal info commands to check status. Finally: # gluster volume heal gv0 info summary Brick [local-ip]:/root/data0 Status: Connected Total Number of entries: 0 Number of entries in heal pending: 0 Number of entries in split-brain: 0 Number of entries possibly healing: 0 Brick [local-ip]:/root/data1 Status: Connected Total Number of entries: 0 Number of entries in heal pending: 0 Number of entries in split-brain: 0 Number of entries possibly healing: 0 Brick [local-ip]:/root/data2 Status: Connected Total Number of entries: 0 Number of entries in heal pending: 0 Number of entries in split-brain: 0 Number of entries possibly healing: 0 Since all 3 copies are different from each other, majority voting is useless and data (IIUC) should be marked as split-brain at least. But I'm seeing just zeroes everywhere above. Why it is so?
