[Gluster-devel] failover and rename(2)

[Emmanuel Dreyfus]

Hi again

Are rename(2) operation supposed to survive the death of a brick? I
tried simulating an outage by unmounting the filesystem for a brick,
and on the client, a tar(1) which is a heavy reame(2) user compalains
a lot:
tar: Cannot rename 
usr/src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools/src/racoon/rfc/draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-04.txt.29982d
 to 
usr/src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools/src/racoon/rfc/draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-04.txt
 (No such file or directory)

I reformatted the unmounted filesystem and remounted it with the intent
to have it rebuilt, but self heals does not start. tar(1) carry on 
complaining. Restarting glusterd/glusterfsd on the server does not help. 
the gluster volume replace-brick comand will refuse to work when old
andnew bricks are the same.

The, I do not know if it is related, but client crashes:
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Once the client is remounted, self-heal is correctly triggered on server
and everything is fixed.
