Hi Peter,

I have checked the logs on all 4 brokers and could only see /data/1/data/kafka being used, log.dirs config in the logs showed all the disks but no errors.

I managed to get the other 5 disks working by adding the path /data/[2-6]/data/kafka and setting the owner as kafka and restarting kafka.

So now when i create topics i see disks 2-6 being used but not disk 1.

I have stopped all the brokers deleted all files /data/1/kafka/data on all brokers and started them, but i still don't see disk 1 being used when creating topics, it's as if there is some dirty configuration somewhere, maybe in zookeeper?

Any help here would be much appreciated :)

Many Thanks,

Chris

The next thing I'd check is the broker logs. The parameters read from the config should appear in the logs when kafka starts up. Search the logs for 'log.dirs' and ensure the correct configs are loaded.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your response, we have the following configuration:

Partition count=4
Replication factor=3

All four brokers have topics-partitions in /data/1/kafka/data and are receiving data.

Each server has 6 x 2TB disks for kaka data.

Many Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Can you share the partition count and replication factor of your partitions? Also, do all four brokers contain topic-partition directories in /data/1/kafka/data or just a single broker? Depending on your topic config, it may be entirely normal that his has happened.

Hi All,

I have a 4 node kafka cluster running version 2.8.1, we have started pushing data to the cluster but can only see one disk being used.

We had 6 disk configured as non-raid and 1 partition per disk, we have the following in fstab:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-data /data/1 xfs nodev,noatime,nofail 1 2

/dev/mapper/VolGroup02-data /data/2 xfs nodev,noatime,nofail 1 2

/dev/mapper/VolGroup03-data /data/3 xfs nodev,noatime,nofail 1 2

/dev/mapper/VolGroup04-data /data/4 xfs nodev,noatime,nofail 1 2

/dev/mapper/VolGroup05-data /data/5 xfs nodev,noatime,nofail 1 2

/dev/mapper/VolGroup06-data /data/6 xfs nodev,noatime,nofail 1 2

We configured server.properties to be: log.dirs=/data/1/kafka/data,/data/2/kafka/data,/data/3/kafka/data,/data/4/kafka/data,/data/5/kafka/data,/data/6/kafka/data

i can see all our topics in /data/1/kafka/data but don't see anything in /data/2-5

Any help would be appreciated as this is going to production next week?

Many Thanks,

Chris
