-##Managing GlusterFS Logs
-
-###Rotating Logs
-
-Administrators can rotate the log file in a volume, as needed.
-
-**To rotate a log file**
-
- `# gluster volume log rotate `
-
-For example, to rotate the log file on test-volume:
-
- # gluster volume log rotate test-volume
- log rotate successful
-
-> **Note**
-> When a log file is rotated, the contents of the current log file
-> are moved to log-file- name.epoch-time-stamp.

-##Troubleshooting Geo-replication
-
-This section describes the most common troubleshooting scenarios related
-to GlusterFS Geo-replication.
-
-###Locating Log Files
-
-For every Geo-replication session, the following three log files are
-associated to it (four, if the slave is a gluster volume):
-
-- **Master-log-file** - log file for the process which monitors the Master
- volume
-- **Slave-log-file** - log file for process which initiates the changes in
- slave
-- **Master-gluster-log-file** - log file for the maintenance mount point
- that Geo-replication module uses to monitor the master volume
-- **Slave-gluster-log-file** - is the slave's counterpart of it
-
-**Master Log File**
-
-To get the Master-log-file for geo-replication, use the following
-command:
-
-`gluster volume geo-replication config log-file`
-
-For example:
-
-`# gluster volume geo-replication Volume1 example.com:/data/remote_dir config log-file `
-
-**Slave Log File**
-
-To get the log file for Geo-replication on slave (glusterd must be
-running on slave machine), use the following commands:
-
-1. On master, run the following command:
-
- `# gluster volume geo-replication Volume1 example.com:/data/remote_dir config session-owner 5f6e5200-756f-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 `
-
- Displays the session owner details.
-
-2. On slave, run the following command:
-
- `# gluster volume geo-replication /data/remote_dir config log-file /var/log/gluster/${session-owner}:remote-mirror.log `
-
-3. Replace the session owner details (output of Step 1) to the output
- of the Step 2 to get the location of the log file.
-
- `/var/log/gluster/5f6e5200-756f-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66:remote-mirror.log`
-
-###Rotating Geo-replication Logs
-
-Administrators can rotate the log file of a particular master-slave
-session, as needed. When you run geo-replication's ` log-rotate`
-command, the log file is backed up with the current timestamp suffixed
-to the file name and signal is sent to gsyncd to start logging to a new
-log file.
-
-**To rotate a geo-replication log file**
-
-- Rotate log file for a particular master-slave session using the
- following command:
-
- `# gluster volume geo-replication log-rotate`
-
- For example, to rotate the log file of master `Volume1` and slave
- `example.com:/data/remote_dir` :
-
- # gluster volume geo-replication Volume1 example.com:/data/remote_dir log rotate
- log rotate successful
-
-- Rotate log file for all sessions for a master volume using the
- following command:
-
- `# gluster volume geo-replication log-rotate`
-
- For example, to rotate the log file of master `Volume1`:
-
- # gluster volume geo-replication Volume1 log rotate
- log rotate successful
-
-- Rotate log file for all sessions using the following command:
-
- `# gluster volume geo-replication log-rotate`
-
- For example, to rotate the log file for all sessions:
-
- # gluster volume geo-replication log rotate
- log rotate successful
-
-###Synchronization is not complete
-
-**Description**: GlusterFS Geo-replication did not synchronize the data
-completely but still the geo- replication status displayed is OK.
-
-**Solution**: You can enforce a full sync of the data by erasing the
-index and restarting GlusterFS Geo- replication. After restarting,
-GlusterFS Geo-replication begins synchronizing all the data. All files
-are compared using checksum, which can be a lengthy and high resource
-utilization operation on large data sets.
-
-
-###Issues in Data Synchronization
-
-**Description**: Geo-replication display status as OK, but the files do
-not get synced, only directories and symlink gets synced with the
-following error message in the log:
-
- [2011-05-02 13:42:13.467644] E [master:288:regjob] GMaster: failed to
- sync ./some\_file\`
-
-**Solution**: Geo-replication invokes rsync v3.0.0 or higher on the host
-and the remote machine. You must verify if you have installed the
-required version.
-
-###Geo-replication status displays Faulty very often
-
-**Description**: Geo-replication displays status as faulty very often
-with a backtrace similar to the following:
-
- 2011-04-28 14:06:18.378859] E [syncdutils:131:log\_raise\_exception]
- \<top\>: FAIL: Traceback (most recent call last): File
- "/usr/local/libexec/glusterfs/python/syncdaemon/syncdutils.py", line
- 152, in twraptf(\*aa) File
- "/usr/local/libexec/glusterfs/python/syncdaemon/repce.py", line 118, in
- listen rid, exc, res = recv(self.inf) File
- "/usr/local/libexec/glusterfs/python/syncdaemon/repce.py", line 42, in
- recv return pickle.load(inf) EOFError
-
-**Solution**: This error indicates that the RPC communication between
-the master gsyncd module and slave gsyncd module is broken and this can
-happen for various reasons. Check if it satisfies all the following
-pre-requisites:
-
-- Password-less SSH is set up properly between the host and the remote
- machine.
-- If FUSE is installed in the machine, because geo-replication module
- mounts the GlusterFS volume using FUSE to sync data.
-- If the **Slave** is a volume, check if that volume is started.
-- If the Slave is a plain directory, verify if the directory has been
- created already with the required permissions.
-- If GlusterFS 3.2 or higher is not installed in the default location
- (in Master) and has been prefixed to be installed in a custom
- location, configure the `gluster-command` for it to point to the
- exact location.
-- If GlusterFS 3.2 or higher is not installed in the default location
- (in slave) and has been prefixed to be installed in a custom
- location, configure the `remote-gsyncd-command` for it to point to
- the exact place where gsyncd is located.
-
-###Intermediate Master goes to Faulty State
-
-**Description**: In a cascading set-up, the intermediate master goes to
-faulty state with the following log:
-
- raise RuntimeError ("aborting on uuid change from %s to %s" % \\
- RuntimeError: aborting on uuid change from af07e07c-427f-4586-ab9f-
- 4bf7d299be81 to de6b5040-8f4e-4575-8831-c4f55bd41154
-
-**Solution**: In a cascading set-up the Intermediate master is loyal to
-the original primary master. The above log means that the
-geo-replication module has detected change in primary master. If this is
-the desired behavior, delete the config option volume-id in the session
-initiated from the intermediate master.

-##Troubleshooting POSIX ACLs
-
-This section describes the most common troubleshooting issues related to
-POSIX ACLs.
-
- setfacl command fails with “setfacl: \<file or directory name\>: Operation not supported” error
-
-You may face this error when the backend file systems in one of the
-servers is not mounted with the "-o acl" option. The same can be
-confirmed by viewing the following error message in the log file of the
-server "Posix access control list is not supported".
-
-**Solution**: Remount the backend file system with "-o acl" option.

-##Troubleshooting Hadoop Compatible Storage
-
-###Time Sync
-
-**Problem**: Running MapReduce job may throw exceptions if the time is out-of-sync on
-the hosts in the cluster.
-
-**Solution**: Sync the time on all hosts using ntpd program.
-

-##Troubleshooting NFS
-
-This section describes the most common troubleshooting issues related to
-NFS .
-
-###mount command on NFS client fails with “RPC Error: Program not registered”
-
- Start portmap or rpcbind service on the NFS server.
-
-This error is encountered when the server has not started correctly.
-On most Linux distributions this is fixed by starting portmap:
-
-`$ /etc/init.d/portmap start`
-
-On some distributions where portmap has been replaced by rpcbind, the
-following command is required:
-
-`$ /etc/init.d/rpcbind start `
-
-After starting portmap or rpcbind, gluster NFS server needs to be
-restarted.
-
-###NFS server start-up fails with “Port is already in use” error in the log file.
-
-Another Gluster NFS server is running on the same machine.
-
-This error can arise in case there is already a Gluster NFS server
-running on the same machine. This situation can be confirmed from the
-log file, if the following error lines exist:
-
- [2010-05-26 23:40:49] E [rpc-socket.c:126:rpcsvc_socket_listen] rpc-socket: binding socket failed:Address already in use
- [2010-05-26 23:40:49] E [rpc-socket.c:129:rpcsvc_socket_listen] rpc-socket: Port is already in use
- [2010-05-26 23:40:49] E [rpcsvc.c:2636:rpcsvc_stage_program_register] rpc-service: could not create listening connection
- [2010-05-26 23:40:49] E [rpcsvc.c:2675:rpcsvc_program_register] rpc-service: stage registration of program failed
- [2010-05-26 23:40:49] E [rpcsvc.c:2695:rpcsvc_program_register] rpc-service: Program registration failed: MOUNT3, Num: 100005, Ver: 3, Port: 38465
- [2010-05-26 23:40:49] E [nfs.c:125:nfs_init_versions] nfs: Program init failed
- [2010-05-26 23:40:49] C [nfs.c:531:notify] nfs: Failed to initialize protocols
-
-To resolve this error one of the Gluster NFS servers will have to be
-shutdown. At this time, Gluster NFS server does not support running
-multiple NFS servers on the same machine.
-
-###mount command fails with “rpc.statd” related error message
-
-If the mount command fails with the following error message:
-
- mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
- mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
-
-For NFS clients to mount the NFS server, rpc.statd service must be
-running on the clients. Start rpc.statd service by running the following command:
-
-`$ rpc.statd `
-
-###mount command takes too long to finish.
-
-**Start rpcbind service on the NFS client**
-
-The problem is that the rpcbind or portmap service is not running on the
-NFS client. The resolution for this is to start either of these services
-by running the following command:
-
-`$ /etc/init.d/portmap start`
-
-On some distributions where portmap has been replaced by rpcbind, the
-following command is required:
-
-`$ /etc/init.d/rpcbind start`
-
-###NFS server glusterfsd starts but initialization fails with “nfsrpc- service: portmap registration of program failed” error message in the log.
-
-NFS start-up can succeed but the initialization of the NFS service can
-still fail preventing clients from accessing the mount points. Such a
-situation can be confirmed from the following error messages in the log
-file:
-
- [2010-05-26 23:33:47] E [rpcsvc.c:2598:rpcsvc_program_register_portmap] rpc-service: Could notregister with portmap
- [2010-05-26 23:33:47] E [rpcsvc.c:2682:rpcsvc_program_register] rpc-service: portmap registration of program failed
- [2010-05-26 23:33:47] E [rpcsvc.c:2695:rpcsvc_program_register] rpc-service: Program registration failed: MOUNT3, Num: 100005, Ver: 3, Port: 38465
- [2010-05-26 23:33:47] E [nfs.c:125:nfs_init_versions] nfs: Program init failed
- [2010-05-26 23:33:47] C [nfs.c:531:notify] nfs: Failed to initialize protocols
- [2010-05-26 23:33:49] E [rpcsvc.c:2614:rpcsvc_program_unregister_portmap] rpc-service: Could not unregister with portmap
- [2010-05-26 23:33:49] E [rpcsvc.c:2731:rpcsvc_program_unregister] rpc-service: portmap unregistration of program failed
- [2010-05-26 23:33:49] E [rpcsvc.c:2744:rpcsvc_program_unregister] rpc-service: Program unregistration failed: MOUNT3, Num: 100005, Ver: 3, Port: 38465
-
-1. **Start portmap or rpcbind service on the NFS server**
-
- On most Linux distributions, portmap can be started using the
- following command:
-
- `$ /etc/init.d/portmap start `
-
- On some distributions where portmap has been replaced by rpcbind,
- run the following command:
-
- `$ /etc/init.d/rpcbind start `
-
- After starting portmap or rpcbind, gluster NFS server needs to be
- restarted.
-
-2. **Stop another NFS server running on the same machine**
-
- Such an error is also seen when there is another NFS server running
- on the same machine but it is not the Gluster NFS server. On Linux
- systems, this could be the kernel NFS server. Resolution involves
- stopping the other NFS server or not running the Gluster NFS server
- on the machine. Before stopping the kernel NFS server, ensure that
- no critical service depends on access to that NFS server's exports.
-
- On Linux, kernel NFS servers can be stopped by using either of the
- following commands depending on the distribution in use:
-
- `$ /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop`
-
- `$ /etc/init.d/nfs stop`
-
-3. **Restart Gluster NFS server**
-
-###mount command fails with NFS server failed error.
-
-mount command fails with following error
-
- *mount: mount to NFS server '10.1.10.11' failed: timed out (retrying).*
-
-Perform one of the following to resolve this issue:
-
-1. **Disable name lookup requests from NFS server to a DNS server**
-
- The NFS server attempts to authenticate NFS clients by performing a
- reverse DNS lookup to match hostnames in the volume file with the
- client IP addresses. There can be a situation where the NFS server
- either is not able to connect to the DNS server or the DNS server is
- taking too long to responsd to DNS request. These delays can result
- in delayed replies from the NFS server to the NFS client resulting
- in the timeout error seen above.
-
- NFS server provides a work-around that disables DNS requests,
- instead relying only on the client IP addresses for authentication.
- The following option can be added for successful mounting in such
- situations:
-
- `option rpc-auth.addr.namelookup off `
-
- > **Note**: Remember that disabling the NFS server forces authentication
- > of clients to use only IP addresses and if the authentication
- > rules in the volume file use hostnames, those authentication rules
- > will fail and disallow mounting for those clients.
-
- **OR**
-
-2. **NFS version used by the NFS client is other than version 3**
-
- Gluster NFS server supports version 3 of NFS protocol. In recent
- Linux kernels, the default NFS version has been changed from 3 to 4.
- It is possible that the client machine is unable to connect to the
- Gluster NFS server because it is using version 4 messages which are
- not understood by Gluster NFS server. The timeout can be resolved by
- forcing the NFS client to use version 3. The **vers** option to
- mount command is used for this purpose:
-
- `$ mount -o vers=3 `
-
-###showmount fails with clnt\_create: RPC: Unable to receive
-
-Check your firewall setting to open ports 111 for portmap
-requests/replies and Gluster NFS server requests/replies. Gluster NFS
-server operates over the following port numbers: 38465, 38466, and
-38467.
-
-###Application fails with "Invalid argument" or "Value too large for defined data type" error.
-
-These two errors generally happen for 32-bit nfs clients or applications
-that do not support 64-bit inode numbers or large files. Use the
-following option from the CLI to make Gluster NFS return 32-bit inode
-numbers instead: nfs.enable-ino32 \<on|off\>
-
-Applications that will benefit are those that were either:
-
-- built 32-bit and run on 32-bit machines such that they do not
- support large files by default
-- built 32-bit on 64-bit systems
-
-This option is disabled by default so NFS returns 64-bit inode numbers
-by default.
-
-Applications which can be rebuilt from source are recommended to rebuild
-using the following flag with gcc:
-
-` -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64`
-
-<a name="file-locks" />
-##Troubleshooting File Locks
-
-In GlusterFS 3.3 you can use `statedump` command to list the locks held
-on files. The statedump output also provides information on each lock
-with its range, basename, PID of the application holding the lock, and
-so on. You can analyze the output to know about the locks whose
-owner/application is no longer running or interested in that lock. After
-ensuring that the no application is using the file, you can clear the
-lock using the following `clear lock` commands.
-
-1. **Perform statedump on the volume to view the files that are locked
- using the following command:**
-
- `# gluster volume statedump inode`
-
- For example, to display statedump of test-volume:
-
- # gluster volume statedump test-volume
- Volume statedump successful
-
- The statedump files are created on the brick servers in the` /tmp`
- directory or in the directory set using `server.statedump-path`
- volume option. The naming convention of the dump file is
- `<brick-path>.<brick-pid>.dump`.
-
- The following are the sample contents of the statedump file. It
- indicates that GlusterFS has entered into a state where there is an
- entry lock (entrylk) and an inode lock (inodelk). Ensure that those
- are stale locks and no resources own them.

-
-2. **Clear the lock using the following command:**
-
- `# gluster volume clear-locks`
-
- For example, to clear the entry lock on `file1` of test-volume:
-
- # gluster volume clear-locks test-volume / kind granted entry file1
- Volume clear-locks successful
- vol-locks: entry blocked locks=0 granted locks=1
-
-3. **Clear the inode lock using the following command:**
-
- `# gluster volume clear-locks`
-
- For example, to clear the inode lock on `file1` of test-volume:
-
- # gluster volume clear-locks test-volume /file1 kind granted inode 0,0-0
- Volume clear-locks successful
- vol-locks: inode blocked locks=0 granted locks=1
-
- You can perform statedump on test-volume again to verify that the
- above inode and entry locks are cleared.
-
-
