[Gluster-users] remove_me files building up

Hi Liam,
I saw that your XFS uses ?imaxpct=25? which for an arbiter brick is a little bit
low.
If you have free space on the bricks, increase the maxpct to a bigger value,
like:xfs_growfs -m 80 /path/to/brickThat will set 80% of the Filesystem for
inodes, which you can verify with df -i /brick/path (compare before and
after).?This way?you won?t run out of inodes in the future.
Of course, always test that on non Prod first.
Are you using the volume for VM disk storage domain ? What is your main workload
?
Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov?

Something I forgot to mention in my initial message is that the opversion was
upgraded from 70200 to 100000, which seems as though it could have been a
trigger for the issue as well.

Hi,
you mentioned that the arbiter bricks run out of inodes.Are you using XFS ?Can
you provide the xfs_info of each brick ?

We're running a cluster with two data nodes and one arbiter, and have
sharding enabled.
We had an issue a while back where one of the server's crashed, we got the
server back up and running and ensured that all healing entries cleared, and
also increased the server spec (CPU/Mem) as this seemed to be the potential
cause.
Since then however, we've seen some strange behaviour, whereby a lot of
'remove_me' files are building up under
`/data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2/brick/.shard/.remove_me/` and
`/data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3/brick/.shard/.remove_me/`.?This is causing the
arbiter to run out of space on brick2 and brick3, as the remove_me files are
constantly increasing.
brick1 appears to be fine, the disk usage increases throughout the day and drops
down in line with the trend of the brick on the data nodes. We see the disk
usage increase and drop throughout the day on the data nodes for brick2 and
brick3 as well, but while the arbiter follows the same trend of the disk usage
increasing, it doesn't drop at any point.
This is the output of some gluster commands, occasional heal entries come and
go:

[Gluster-users] remove_me files building up

Hi Strahil,

We're using gluster to act as a share for an application to temporarily
process and store files, before they're then archived off over night.

The issue we're seeing isn't with the inodes running out of space, but
the actual disk space on the arb server running low.

This is the df -h? output for the bricks on the arb server:
/dev/sdd1              15G   12G  3.3G  79% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3
/dev/sdc1              15G  2.8G   13G  19% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick1
/dev/sde1              15G   14G  1.6G  90% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2

And this is the df -hi? output for the bricks on the arb server:
/dev/sdd1              7.5M  2.7M  4.9M   35% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3
/dev/sdc1              7.5M  643K  6.9M    9% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick1
/dev/sde1              6.1M  3.0M  3.1M   49% /data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2

So the inode usage appears to be fine, but we're seeing that the actual disk
usage keeps increasing on the bricks despite it being the arbiter.

The actual issue appears to be that files under
/data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3/brick/.shard/.remove_me/? and
/data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2/brick/.shard/.remove_me/? are being retained, even
when the original files are deleted from the data nodes.

For reference, I've attached disk usage graphs for brick 3 over the past two
weeks; one is a graph from a data node, the other from the arb.

As you can see, the disk usage of the data node builds throughout the day, but
then an archival job clears space down. However, on the arb, we see the disk
space increasing in the same sort of trend, but it's never cleared down like
the data node.

Hopefully this clarifies the issue, we're a bit confused as to why this is
occurring and whether this is actually intended behaviour or potentially a bug,
so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Liam Smith????

Of course, always test that on non Prod first.

Something I forgot to mention in my initial message is that the opversion was
upgraded from 70200 to 100000, which seems as though it could have been a
trigger for the issue as well.

Thanks,

Hi,

you mentioned that the arbiter bricks run out of inodes.
Are you using XFS ?
Can you provide the xfs_info of each brick ?

Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov

Hi,

We're running a cluster with two data nodes and one arbiter, and have
sharding enabled.

We had an issue a while back where one of the server's crashed, we got the
server back up and running and ensured that all healing entries cleared, and
also increased the server spec (CPU/Mem) as this seemed to be the potential
cause.

Since then however, we've seen some strange behaviour, whereby a lot of
'remove_me' files are building up under
`/data/glusterfs/gv1/brick2/brick/.shard/.remove_me/` and
`/data/glusterfs/gv1/brick3/brick/.shard/.remove_me/`. This is causing the
arbiter to run out of space on brick2 and brick3, as the remove_me files are
constantly increasing.

brick1 appears to be fine, the disk usage increases throughout the day and drops
down in line with the trend of the brick on the data nodes. We see the disk
usage increase and drop throughout the day on the data nodes for brick2 and
brick3 as well, but while the arbiter follows the same trend of the disk usage
increasing, it doesn't drop at any point.

This is the output of some gluster commands, occasional heal entries come and
go:

We're not sure if this is a potential bug or if something's corrupted
that we don't have visibility of, so any pointers/suggestions about how to
approach this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Liam
