My question: Are the errors and anomalies below something I need to investigate? Are should I not be worried? I installed a test cluster to gluster 7.2 to run some tests, preparing to see if we gain confidence to put this on the 5,120 node supercomputer instead of gluster 4.1.6. I started with a 3x2 volume with heavy optimizations for writes and NFS. (6 nodes, distribute/replicate). I booted my NFS-root clients and maintained them online. I then performaned a add-brick operation to make it a 3x3 instead of 3.2 (so 9 servers instead of 6). The rebalance went much better for me than gluster 4.1.6. However, I saw some errors. We noted them first here -- 14 errors on leader8, and a few on the others. These are the NEW nodes so the data flow was from the old nodes to these three that at least have one error: [root@leader8 glusterfs]# gluster volume rebalance cm_shared status Node Rebalanced-files size scanned failures skipped status run time in h:m:s --------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ -------------- leader1.head.cm.eag.rdlabs.hpecorp.net 18933 596.4MB 181780 0 3760 completed 0:41:39 172.23.0.4 18960 1.2GB 181831 0 3766 completed 0:41:39 172.23.0.5 18691 1.2GB 181826 0 3716 completed 0:41:39 172.23.0.6 14917 618.8MB 175758 0 3869 completed 0:35:40 172.23.0.7 15114 573.5MB 175728 0 3853 completed 0:35:41 172.23.0.8 14864 459.2MB 175742 0 3951 completed 0:35:40 172.23.0.9 0 0Bytes 11 3 0 completed 0:08:26 172.23.0.11 0 0Bytes 242 1 0 completed 0:08:25 localhost 0 0Bytes 5 14 0 completed 0:08:26 volume rebalance: cm_shared: success My rebalance log is like 32M and I find it's hard for people to help me when I post that much data.
