Hi, 

I am a bit surprised by this response. Quite recently we created a Redhat 
support case about the same issue (brick process crashing when scanned), and 
Redhats response was simply that the "solution" was to not scan the bricks and 
that this issue will not be resolved (RH support case #02551577). This of 
course is for Redhat's commercial GlusterFS version, currently at 
v6.0-21.el7rhgs. 

Would this fix also be ported to the RHGS version ?

Nico van Roijen - ING Bank.

Hi Ben, 
we already identified the issue that caused crashes when gluster ports were 
scanned. The fix is present on 6.7 and 7.1, so if this was the reason for your 
problem, those versions should help. 

Best regards, 

Xavi

Hi, 

Just an update on this - we made our ACLs much, much stricter around gluster 
ports and to my knowledge haven't seen a brick death since.

Hi Xavi, 

We don't that I'm explicitly aware of, *but* I can't rule it out as a 
probability as it's possible some of our partners do (some/most certainly have 
scans done as part of pentests fairly regularly). 

But, that does at least give me an avenue to pursue in the meantime, thanks!

Hi Ben, 
I've recently seen some issues that seem similar to yours (based on the stack 
trace in the logs). Right now it seems that in these cases the problem is 
caused by some port scanning tool that triggers an unhandled condition. We are 
still investigating what is causing this to fix it as soon as possible. 

Do you have one of these tools on your network ? 

Regards, 

Xavi

Hi, 
A little while ago we had an issue with Gluster 6. As it was urgent we 
downgraded to Gluster 5.9 and it went away. 

Some boxes are now running 5.10 and the issue has come back.

If we check, we can see that the brick process has died

Looking in the brick logs, we can see that the process crashed, and we get a 
backtrace (of sorts)

Other than that, there's not a lot in the logs. In syslog we can see the client 
(Gluster's FS is mounted on the boxes) complaining that the brick's gone away. 

Software versions (for when this was happening with 6): 
# rpm -qa | grep glus
glusterfs-libs-6.1-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-cli-6.1-1.el7.x86_64
centos-release-gluster6-1.0-1.el7.centos.noarch

glusterfs-client-xlators-6.1-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-fuse-6.1-1.el7.x86_64 

This was happening pretty regularly (uncomfortably so) on boxes running Gluster 
6. Grepping through the brick logs it's always a segfault or sigabrt that leads 
to brick death 
# grep "signal received:" data*

There's no apparent correlation on times or usage levels that we could see. The 
issue was occurring on a wide array of hardware, spread across the globe (but 
always talking to local - i.e. LAN - peers). All the same, disks were checked, 
RAM checked etc. 

Digging through the logs we were able to find the lines just as the crash 
occurs

But, it's not the first time that had occurred, so may be completely unrelated. 

When this happens, restarting gluster buys some time. It may just be 
coincidental, but our searches through the logs showed only the first brick 
process dying, processes for other bricks (some of the boxes have 4) don't 
appear to be affected by this. 

As we had lots and lots of Gluster machines failing across the network, at this 
point we stopped investigating and I came up with a downgrade procedure so that 
we could get production back into a usable state. Machines running Gluster 6 
were downgraded to Gluster 5.9 and the issue just went away. Unfortunately 
other demands came up, so no-one was able to follow up on it. 

Tonight though, there's been a brick process fail on a 5.10 machine with an all 
too familiar looking BT

These boxes have been running 5.10 for less than 48 hours 

Has anyone else run into this? Assuming the root is the same (it's a fairly 
limited BT, so hard to say for sure), was something from 6 backported into 
5.10? 

Thanks 

Ben
