This script is here: https://github.com/Oneiroi/sysadmin/blob/master/python_sysadmin_script/sysadmin.py

I’m in no way blaming Gluster here, for one I loathe the fact SVN does this, but for legacy deploys I have to use it.

The rsync method is ment for when you know you have a “known good copy”, sort of the same scenario you have in a DRBD split brain, self heal was not working and nor was rsync with glusterd off (the xattrs persisted).

Now this post is a late write up, this ironically occurred during the transition to red hat meaning … ALL the docs were offline as per my tweets, and I only came across the xattrs after experimenting reading xattrs for another project.
Also I did drop by IRC under the handel: Oneiroi to no avail, could of been due to the red hat transition or timezone but this was the one and only solution the the issue I was having.

Thanks for the script link, could you elaborate a bit on what identified the trusted.afr as “dirty” ?

Yes it is an executable script, that connects to a sms gateway to send the message.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXrender

and it solved with

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1 /usr/lib/libXrender.so

thanks you saved my days

Can you pls tell whether is that alert-by-sms.php script ?

And also are using sms-gateway for sms alert sending ?

Thanks in advance!!!

Where I can find this alert-by-sms.php ?

And how you are sending sms – to sms gateway or directly to mobile number?

Any thoughts?

Btw, I wouldn’t recommend the rsync method. You’ll get unpredictable results, especially with a distributed replica. If you really want to just resync the entire brick, make sure glusterfsd isn’t running for that brick and wipe it. Then start the brick again (gluster volume start {volname} force) then perform the normal self-heal process.

Really, though, you only need to remove one copy of an offending split-brained file. To help identify files with pending self-heals, this tool can be handy: http://joejulian.name/blog/quick-and-dirty-python-script-to-check-the-dirty-status-of-files-in-a-glusterfs-brick/
