Re: Files being healed won't go away

[Sergei Gerasenko <gerases@xxxxxxxxx>]

I took one of the gfids and found the actual path to the file on the brick. I then did:

getfattr -d -m . -e hex <ACTUAL_PATH>

security.selinux=0x73797374656d5f753a6f626a6563745f723a756e6c6162656c65645f743a733000

trusted.afr.<VOLNAME>-client-6=0x000000020000000100000000

trusted.afr.dirty=0x000000000000000000000000

trusted.bit-rot.version=0x02000000000000005a7e0cdb000196c6

trusted.gfid=0xa65bac27fd504c899ba4457675ed5518

trusted.pgfid.eb6d6fa2-339e-4dd7-a642-ca755d5f47cf=0x00000001

Which must mean that client-6 had a problem with both the data and metadata.

I then went to client-6 and issued the same getfattr command:

getfattr -d -m . -e hex <ACTUAL_PATH>

security.selinux=0x73797374656d5f753a6f626a6563745f723a756e6c6162656c65645f743a733000

trusted.afr.dirty=0x000000000000000000000000

trusted.bit-rot.version=0x02000000000000005a7e0cdb00018323

trusted.gfid=0x06df01f614fa40fda3b628265ba36318

trusted.pgfid.eb6d6fa2-339e-4dd7-a642-ca755d5f47cf=0x00000001

As you can see, the gfid is different between the clients for the same file path. Doing a file operation on this file via the mount results in Input/Output error. Doing a stat on the parent directory doesn’t do anything either.

What’s a good way to mover forward from here?

Unrelated: what’s dht.linkto attribute used for?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m running gluster version 3.10.5 across 8 machines. All of the volumes are Distributed-Replicate. One of the volumes shows a never-going-away list of 13 files when I execute:

gluster volume heal <VOLNAME> info

I’ve tried to run:

gluster volume heal <VOLNAME> 

… but nothing happens.

Most of the files show grid’s but there’s one that is a path. The files belong to one brick. There are about 4 clients that are version 3.12.15 and I’ve come across some info that higher version clients can create this problem, but I doubt it’s a problem.

What can I do to resolve this manually since gluster can’t seem to auto-heal them? I’ve searched high and low and can’t find any recipes.

Thanks much for any info,

   Sergei
