Re: [Gluster-devel] difficult bug in 2.5 mainline

[Harris Landgarten]

The backup hung as first described. No data was written from the secondary 
volume on gluster to the backup tmp dir.

Amar,

The rm -rf bug is still there. See the last comment by Daniel to the ml in 
reply to the problem with rm -rf post to the ml. BTW files are being deleted 
but at the rate of about 1 every 3 sec with lots of lookups in the logs. I am 
going to check the other problem now.

Hi Harris, 
With the latest patch this bug is fixed. Also, i hope it should fix the problem 
of 'rm -rf' too.. please confirm. 

i am looking into other strange bug reported by you.

I am trying to track down a bug that is causing hangs in 2.5-patch-249 and all 
previous. 

This happens during a full Zimbra backup of certain accounts to 
/mnt/glusterfs/backups 

The first stage of the backup copies indexes and primary storage to 
/mnt/glusterfs/backups/tmp 
All of this data resides in local storage and the writing to gluster is 
successful. 

The next stage copies secondary storage to /mnt/glusterfs/backups/tmp 
This fails in the following way: 

Brick1 hangs with no errors 
Brick2 hangs with no errors 
Zimbra client hangs with no errors 
second client loses connectivity 

The second client bails after 2 min but cannot connect 
The Zimbra client never bails 

I then restart the bricks 

After both bricks are restarted, the second client reconnects and a hung df -h 
completes 

Zimbra client stays in a hung unconnected start 

ls -l /mnt/glusterfs hangs 

Only way is reset is 

kill -9 pidof glusterfs 
umount /mnt/glusterfs 

glusterfs 

Post mortem examination of /mnt/glusterfs/backups/tmp shows that a few files 
have the written from the secondary storage volume. I this can over 15,000 
files should have been written. 

Note: this only happen with large email boxed with some large >10M files. 

Note: with patch-247 the zimbra client would seqfault. With 249 it just hangs 
in unrecoverable state.
