If you are
setting the
file length to
0 on one of
the bricks
(looks like<br>
that is the
case), it is
not a bug.<br>
<br>
Index heal
relies on
failures seen
from the mount
point(s)<br>
to identify
the files that
need heal. It
won't be able
to recognize
any file<br>
modification
done directly
on bricks.
Same goes for
heal info
command which<br>
is the reason
heal info also
shows 0
entries.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
</span> Well,
this makes
self-heal
useless then-
if any file is
accidently
corrupted or
deleted (yes!
if file is
deleted
directly from
brick this is
no recognized
by idex heal
too), then it
will not be
self-healed,
because
self-heal uses
index heal.<span><br>

<br>
</span> Bit
rot detects
bit problems,
not missing
files or their
wrong length,
i.e. this is
overhead for
such simple
task.<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>It
detects wrong

Because
checksum won't
match anymore.<br>

<br>
</span> Yes, sure. I
guess that it will
detect missed files too.
But it needs far more
resources, then just
comparing directories in
bricks?<span><br>

I'll repeat:<span><br>
As I already said- if I for some
reason ( real case can be only by
accident ) will delete file this will
not be detected by self-heal daemon,
and, thus, will lead to lower
replication level, i.e. lower failure
tolerance. <br>
</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
To prevent such accidents you need to set
selinux policies so that files under the
brick are not modified by accident by any
user. At least that is the solution I
remember when this was discussed 3-4 years
back.<br>

<br>

</div>
</div>
So only supported platfrom is linux? Or, may be, it is
better to improve self-healing to detect missing or
wrong length files, I guess this is very low cost in
terms of host resources operation.<br>
Just a suggestion, may be we need to look to
alternatives in near future....<br>
<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
</div>
This is a corner case, from design perspective it is generally
not a good idea to optimize for the corner case. It is better
to protect ourselves from the corner case (SElinux etc) or you
can also use snapshots to protect against these kind of
mishaps.<br>

Sorry, I'm not agree. <br>
As you know if on access missed or wrong lenghted file from fuse
client it is restored (healed), i.e. gluster recognizes file is
wrong and heal it , so I do not see any reason to provide this such
function as self-healing.<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
</div>
</blockquote></div>Ah! Now how do you suggest we keep track of which of 10s of millions of
files the user accidentally deleted from the brick without gluster's
knowledge? Once it comes to gluster's knowledge we can do something. But
how does gluster become aware of something it is not keeping track of?
At the time you access it gluster knows something went wrong so it
restores it. If you change something on the bricks even by accident all
the data gluster keeps (similar to journal) is a waste. Even the disk filesystems will ask you to do fsck if something unexpected happens so full self-heal is similar operation.<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Pranith<br></div></div>
