[Gluster-users] Possible stale .glusterfs/indices/xattrop file?
To quickly resume my current situation: on node2 I have found the following file xattrop/indices file which matches the GFID of the "heal info" command (below is there output of "ls -lai": 2798404 ---------- 2 root root 0 Apr 28 22:51 /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/indices/xattrop/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397 As you can see this file has inode number 2798404, so I ran the following command on all my nodes (node1, node2 and arbiternode): sudo find /data/myvolume/brick -inum 2798404 -ls Here below are the results for all 3 nodes: node1: 2798404 19 -rw-r--r-- 2 www-data www-data 32 Jun 19 17:42 /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/e6/5b/e65b77e2-a4c4-4824-a7bb-58df969ce4b0 2798404 19 -rw-r--r-- 2 www-data www-data 32 Jun 19 17:42 /data/myvolume/brick/<REMOVED_DIRECTORIES_IN_BETWEEN>/fileKey node2: 2798404 1 ---------- 2 root root 0 Apr 28 22:51 /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/indices/xattrop/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397 2798404 1 ---------- 2 root root 0 Apr 28 22:51 /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/indices/xattrop/xattrop-6fa49ad5-71dd-4ec2-9246-7b302ab92d38 arbirternode: NOTHING As you requested I have tried to run on node1 a getfattr on the fileKey file by using the following command: getfattr -m . -d -e hex fileKey but there is no output.

If you want to use the same command, maybe you should try `find /data/myvolume/brick -samefile /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/29/e0/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397` on all 3 bricks. > >> -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 32 Jun 19 17:42 fileKey >> As you can see it is a 32 bytes file and as you suggested I ran a "stat" on this very same file through a glusterfs mount (using fuse) but unfortunately nothing happened.

Try the find command again. I see that the inode number is 2798404, not the one you shared in your first mail. Once you find the path to the file, do a stat of the file from mount. This should create the entry in the other 2 bricks and do the heal.

If you want to use the same command, maybe you should try `find /data/myvolume/brick -samefile /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/29/e0/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397` on all 3 bricks. >>> >>>> -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 32 Jun 19 17:42 fileKey >>>> As you can see it is a 32 bytes file and as you suggested I ran a "stat" on this very same file through a glusterfs mount (using fuse) but unfortunately nothing happened. The GFID is still being displayed to be healed.

Below you will find the answer to your questions. >>>>>> First I tried to start the healing process by running: >>>>>> gluster volume heal myvolume >>>>>> and then as you suggested watch the output of the glustershd.log file but nothing appeared in that log file after running the above command. I checked the files which need to be healing using the "heal <volume> info" command and it still shows that very same GFID on node2 to be healed. So nothing changed here. >>>>>> The file /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/indices/xattrop/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397 is only on node2 and not on my nod1 nor on my arbiternode. This file seems to be a regular file and not a symlink. Here is the output of the stat command on it from my node2: >>>>>> File: ?/data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/indices/xattrop/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397? >>>>>> Size: 0 Blocks: 1 IO Block: 512 regular empty file >>>>>> Device: 25h/37d Inode: 2798404 Links: 2 >>>>> >>>>> Okay, link count of 2 means there is a hardlink somewhere on the brick. Try the find command again. I see that the inode number is 2798404, not the one you shared in your first mail. Once you find the path to the file, do a stat of the file from mount. This should create the entry in the other 2 bricks and do the heal. But FWIW, this seems to be a zero byte file. >>>>> Regards, >>>>> Ravi >>>>> >>>>>> Access: (0000/----------) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) >>>>>> Access: 2017-04-28 22:51:15.215775269 +0200 >>>>>> Modify: 2017-04-28 22:51:15.215775269 +0200 >>>>>> Change: 2017-07-30 08:39:03.700872312 +0200 >>>>>> Birth: - >>>>>> I hope this is enough info for a starter, else let me know if you need any more info.

But you need to find out why '29e0d13...' is not healing. Launch the heal and observe the glustershd logs for errors. I suppose the inode number for .glusterfs/29/e0/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397 is what is 8394642. Is .glusterfs/29/e0/29e0d13e-1217-41cc-9bda-1fbbf781c397 a regular file or symlink? Does it exist in the other 2 bricks? What is the link count (as seen from stat <file>)? >>>>>>> -Ravi >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Thank you for your input. >>>>>>>> Mabi >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>>>>> Gluster-users mailing list >>>>>>>> Gluster-users at gluster.org >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> http://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
