Mohamed,

I have completed the steps you suggested (unmount all, stop the volume, set the 
config.transport to tcp, start the volume, mount, etc.), and the behavior has 
indeed changed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no active volume tasks


I am no longer seeing the I/O errors during prolonged periods of write I/O that 
I was seeing when the transport was set to rdma. However, I am seeing this 
message on both nodes every 3 seconds (almost exactly):


==> /var/log/glusterfs/nfs.log <==
[2015-03-21 14:17:40.379719] W [rdma.c:1076:gf_rdma_cm_event_handler]

(me:10.10.10.1:1023 peer:10.10.10.2:49152)


Is this something to worry about?  Any idea why there are rdma pieces in play 
when I've set my transport to tcp? The actual I/O appears to be handled 
properly and I've seen no further errors in the testing I've done so far.


Thanks.


Regards,

Jon Heese

Mohammed,

Thanks very much for the reply.  I will try that and report back.

Hello all,

Does anyone else have any further suggestions for troubleshooting this?

To sum up: I have a 2 node 2 brick replicated volume, which holds a handful of 
iSCSI image files which are mounted and served up by tgtd (CentOS 6) to a 
handful of devices on a dedicated iSCSI network.  The most important iSCSI 
clients (initiators) are four VMware ESXi 5.5 hosts that use the iSCSI volumes 
as backing for their datastores for virtual machine storage.

After a few minutes of sustained writing to the volume, I am seeing a massive 
flood (over 1500 per second at times) of this error in 
/var/log/glusterfs/mnt-gluster-disk.log:
[2015-03-16 02:24:07.582801] W [fuse-bridge.c:2242:fuse_writev_cbk] 
0-glusterfs-fuse: 635358: WRITE => -1 (Input/output error)

When this happens, the ESXi box fails its write operation and returns an error 
to the effect of “Unable to write data to datastore”.  I don’t see anything 
else in the supporting logs to explain the root cause of the i/o errors.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks.

1) unmount every client
2) stop the volume
3) run gluster volume set volname config.transport tcp
4) start the volume again
5) mount the clients

Ravi,

The last lines in the mount log before the massive vomit of I/O errors are from 
22 minutes prior, and seem innocuous to me:

Hello,

So I resolved my previous issue with split-brains and the lack of self-healing 
by dropping my installed glusterfs* packages from 3.6.2 to 3.5.3, but now I've 
picked up a new issue, which actually makes normal use of the volume 
practically impossible.

A little background for those not already paying close attention:
I have a 2 node 2 brick replicating volume whose purpose in life is to hold 
iSCSI target files, primarily for use to provide datastores to a VMware ESXi 
cluster.  The plan is to put a handful of image files on the Gluster volume, 
mount them locally on both Gluster nodes, and run tgtd on both, pointed to the 
image files on the mounted gluster volume. Then the ESXi boxes will use 
multipath (active/passive) iSCSI to connect to the nodes, with automatic 
failover in case of planned or unplanned downtime of the Gluster nodes.

In my most recent round of testing with 3.5.3, I'm seeing a massive failure to 
write data to the volume after about 5-10 minutes, so I've simplified the 
scenario a bit (to minimize the variables) to: both Gluster nodes up, only one 
node (duke) mounted and running tgtd, and just regular (single path) iSCSI from 
a single ESXi server.

About 5-10 minutes into migration a VM onto the test datastore, 
/var/log/messages on duke gets blasted with a ton of messages exactly like this:
Mar 15 22:24:06 duke tgtd: bs_rdwr_request(180) io error 0x1781e00 2a -1 512 
22971904, Input/output error

And /var/log/glusterfs/mnt-gluster_disk.log gets blased with a ton of messages 
exactly like this:
[2015-03-16 02:24:07.572279] W [fuse-bridge.c:2242:fuse_writev_cbk] 
0-glusterfs-fuse: 635299: WRITE => -1 (Input/output error)


Are there any messages in the mount log from AFR about split-brain just before 
the above line appears?
Does `gluster v heal <VOLNAME> info` show any files? Performing I/O on files 
that are in split-brain fail with EIO.

-Ravi

And the write operation from VMware's side fails as soon as these messages 
start.

I don't see any other errors (in the log files I know of) indicating the root 
cause of these i/o errors.  I'm sure that this is not enough information to 
tell what's going on, but can anyone help me figure out what to look at next to 
figure this out?

I've also considered using Dan Lambright's libgfapi gluster module for tgtd (or 
something similar) to avoid going through FUSE, but I'm not sure whether that 
would be irrelevant to this problem, since I'm not 100% sure if it lies in FUSE 
or elsewhere.

Thanks!
