Gluster users - Feb 2019 - gluster 5.3: transport endpoint gets disconnected - Assertion failed: GF_MEM_TRAILER_MAGIC

Good morning,

we currently transfer some data to a new glusterfs volume; to check
the throughput of the new volume/setup while the transfer is running i
decided to create some files on one of the gluster servers with dd in
loop:

while true; do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/shared/private/1G.file bs=1M
count=1024; rm /shared/private/1G.file; done

/shared/private is the mount point of the glusterfs volume. The dd
should run for about an hour. But now it happened twice that during
this loop the transport endpoint gets disconnected:

dd: failed to open '/shared/private/1G.file': Transport endpoint is
not connected
rm: cannot remove '/shared/private/1G.file': Transport endpoint is not
connected

In the /var/log/glusterfs/shared-private.log i see:

[2019-01-24 07:03:28.938745] W [MSGID: 108001]

[----snip----]

The whole output can be found here: https://pastebin.com/qTMmFxx0
gluster volume info here: https://pastebin.com/ENTWZ7j3

After umount + mount the transport endpoint is connected again - until
the next disconnect. A /core file gets generated. Maybe someone wants
to have a look at this file?

Hi Hu Bert,

Thanks for these logs, and report. 'Transport end point not connected'
on a
mount comes for 2 reasons.

1. When the brick (in case of replica all the bricks) having the file is
not reachable, or are down. This gets to normal state when the bricks are
restarted.
2. When the client process crashes/asserts. In this case, /dev/fuse
wouldn't be connected to a process, but mount will still have a reference.
This needs 'umount' and mount again to work.

We will see what is this issue and get back.

Regards,
Amar

Hi,

The client logs indicates that the mount process has crashed.
Please try mounting the volume with the volume option lru-limit=0 and see
if it still crashes.

Thanks,
Nithya
