Re: [Gluster-users] Manually delete .glusterfs/changelogs directory ?

[mabi]

Hi Everton,

Thanks for your tip regarding the "reset-sync-time". I understand now that I 
should have used this additional parameter in order to get rid of the CHANGELOG 
files.

I will now manually delete them from all bricks. Also I have noticed the 
following 3 geo-replication related volume parameters are still set on my 
volume:

changelog.changelog: on
geo-replication.ignore-pid-check: on
geo-replication.indexing: on

I will also remove them manually.

Best,
M.

The RedHat documentation has a good process on how to clean a unusable
brick:

5.4.4. Cleaning An Unusable Brick
If the file system associated with the brick cannot be reformatted, and the
brick directory cannot be removed,
perform the following steps:
1 Delete all previously existing data in the brick, including the
.glusterfs subdirectory.

2 Run
 # setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.volume-id brick
  and
 # setfattr -x trusted.gfid brick
  to remove the attributes from the root of the brick.

3 Run
 # getfattr -d -m . brick
  to examine the attributes set on the volume. Take note of the attributes.

4 Run
 # setfattr -x attribute brick
  to remove the attributes relating to the glusterFS file system.
  The trusted.glusterfs.dht attribute for a distributed volume is one such
example of attributes that need to be removed.

Hi Mabi,

If you will not use that geo-replication volume session again, I believe it
is safe to manually delete the files in the brick directory using rm -rf.

However, the gluster documentation specifies that if the session is to be
permanently deleted, this is the command to use:
gluster volume geo-replication gv1 snode1::gv2 delete reset-sync-time

[Gluster-users] Manually delete .glusterfs/changelogs directory ?

[mabi]

Hello,

I just deleted (permanently) my geo-replication session using the following 
command:

gluster volume geo-replication myvolume gfs1geo.domain.tld::myvolume-geo delete

and noticed that the .glusterfs/changelogs on my volume still exists. Is it 
safe to delete the whole directly myself with "rm -rf .glusterfs/changelogs" ? 
As far as I understand the CHANGELOG.* files are only needed for 
geo-replication, correct?

Finally shouldn't the geo-replication delete command I used above delete these 
files automatically for me?
