similar to: Reconstructing files from shards

From some old May 2017 email. I asked the following: "From the docs, I see you can identify the shards by the GFID # getfattr -d -m. -e hex/path_to_file/ # ls /bricks/*/.shard -lh | grep /GFID Is there a gluster tool/script that will recreate the file? or can you just sort them sort them properly and then simply cat/copy+ them back together? cat shardGFID.1 .. shardGFID.X > thefile

The short answer is - no there exists no script currently that can piece the shards together into a single file. Long answer: IMO the safest way to convert from sharded to a single file _is_ by copying the data out into a new volume at the moment. Picking up the files from the individual bricks directly and joining them, although fast, is a strict no-no for many reasons - for example, when you

So a stock ovirt with gluster install that uses sharding A. Can't safely have sharding turned off once files are in use B. Can't be expanded with additional bricks Ouch.

Hi, I'm looking to use sharding on tiered volume. This is very attractive feature that could benefit tiered volume to let it handle larger files without hitting the "out of (hot)space problem". I decided to set test configuration on GlusterFS 3.12.3 when tiered volume has 2TB cold and 1GB hot segments. Shard size is set to be 16MB. For testing 100GB files are used. It seems writes

Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix, or to work-around the following issue? Thanks! Bug 1549714 - On sharded tiered volume, only first shard of new file goes on hot tier. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1549714 On sharded tiered volume, only first shard of new file goes on hot tier. On a sharded tiered volume, only the first shard of a new file goes on the hot tier, the rest

Hey everyone! I have deployed gluster on 3 nodes with 4 SSDs each and 10Gb Ethernet connection. The storage is configured with 3 gluster volumes, every volume has 12 bricks (4 bricks on every server, 1 per ssd in the server). With the 'features.shard' off option my writing speed (using the 'dd' command) is approximately 250 Mbs and when the feature is on the writing speed is

I have already tried disabling sharding on a test oVirt volume... The results were devastating for the app, so please do not disable sharding.

Hi Gencer, I just checked the volume-profile attachments. Things that seem really odd to me as far as the sharded volume is concerned: 1. Only the replica pair having bricks 5 and 6 on both nodes 09 and 10 seems to have witnessed all the IO. No other bricks witnessed any write operations. This is unacceptable for a volume that has 8 other replica sets. Why didn't the shards get distributed

Thanks. I think reusing the same volume was the cause of lack of IO distribution. The latest profile output looks much more realistic and in line with i would expect. Let me analyse the numbers a bit and get back. -Krutika On Tue, Jul 4, 2017 at 12:55 PM, <gencer at gencgiyen.com> wrote: > Hi Krutika, > > > > Thank you so much for myour reply.

Hello all, We are having a rather interesting problem with one of our VM storage systems. The GlusterFS client is throwing errors relating to GFID mismatches. We traced this down to multiple shards being present on the gluster nodes, with different gfids. Hypervisor gluster mount log: [2018-03-25 18:54:19.261733] E [MSGID: 133010] [shard.c:1724:shard_common_lookup_shards_cbk]

Just noticed that the way you have configured your brick order during volume-create makes both replicas of every set reside on the same machine. That apart, do you see any difference if you change shard-block-size to 512MB? Could you try that? If it doesn't help, could you share the volume-profile output for both the tests (separate)? Here's what you do: 1. Start profile before starting

Ki Krutika, After that setting: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/ddfile bs=1G count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 11.7351 s, 91.5 MB/s $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/ddfile2 bs=2G count=1 0+1 records in 0+1 records out 2147479552 bytes (2.1 GB, 2.0 GiB) copied, 23.7351 s, 90.5 MB/s $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/ddfile3 bs=1G count=1 1+0 records

Hi Krutika, I also did one more test. I re-created another volume (single volume. Old one destroyed-deleted) then do 2 dd tests. One for 1GB other for 2GB. Both are 32MB shard and eager-lock off. Samples: sr:~# gluster volume profile testvol start Starting volume profile on testvol has been successful sr:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/testvol/dtestfil0xb bs=1G count=1 1+0 records in 1+0
