Gluster users - Mar 2014 - Gluster 3.4.2 on Redhat 6.5

Hi,

I'm running Gluster 3.4.2 on Redhat 6.5 with 4 servers with a brick on each.
This brick is mounted locally and used by apache to server audio files for an
IVR system. Each of these audio files are typically around 80-100Kb.

System appears to be working ok in terms of health and status via gluster CLI.

The system is monitored by nagios and there's a check for zombie processes
and the gluster status. It appears that over a 24 hour period the number of
Zombie processes on the box has increased and is continually increasing.
Investigating these are "glusterd" processes.

I'm making an assumption but I'd suspect that the regular nagios checks
are resulting in the increase in zombie processes as they are querying the
glusterd process. The command that the nagios plugin is running is:

#Check heal status
gluster volume heal audio info

#Check volume status
gluster volume status audio detail

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why glusterd is resulting in these zombie
processes?

Thanks for help in advance,

Steve

Steve:

Tested that myself - not the nagios part, but the gluster commands you
posted later - and no errors or zombies.

Somebody else reported the same, so, sounds consistent.

There must be another process there biting your gluster, turning it into a
haunted scenario.

Cheers,

Carlos
