Gluster users - Jul 2013 - SELF HEAL - GlusterFSD service.

Hi,

GlusterFSD service is running on all the bricks. But self heal is not happening.
I restart glusterd service, still nothing.

When I do "service glusterfsd restart". The services stops but
doesn't start. Once I restart the server, the self heal resumes. PLEASE
ADVICE> !!!!

GLusterfs 3.3.1

Thanks & Regards,

How are you determining that self heal is not happening? What does 
gluster volume status list when self heal is not happening?

Have you attempted "gluster volume start force" to restart services
that
are not active?

glusterfsd is the brick process. It does not do self-healing. Self 
healing is provided by a glusterfs process with "--volfile-id 
gluster/glustershd" and is started by glusterd. You can check to see if 
it's running with "gluster volume status".

All that command is going to do is stop your bricks. The restart command 
does a stop and start of glusterfsd. Since stop kills all the glusterfsd 
processes, your bricks will then be killed. It does not start the 
bricks, but rather tries to start a glusterfsd process with a default 
volfile setting. This would work if you had some legacy configuration 
that you still wanted to use, but does not work for restarting the 
self-heal process.

The command you're looking for would be "service glusterd restart"
if
the self-heal process needed restarted.
