Package: glusterfs-server Version: 3.5.0-1 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Dear Maintainer, after upgrading to version 3.5.0-1 and rebooting the systems, I found out that creating symlinks on a glusterfs partition generates errors. I have glusterfs partitions (type: stripe, connection: IP over InfiniBand) built with bricks on host1, host2, host3, ... and mounted on master, host1, host2, host3, ... For instance: Volume Name: scratch1-8 Type: Stripe Volume ID: 85c89403-0fc5-43cf-8fde-a8fa2322e6e6 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 1 x 8 = 8 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: host1:/data/brick1 Brick2: host2:/data/brick1 Brick3: host3:/data/brick1 Brick4: host4:/data/brick1 Brick5: host5:/data/brick1 Brick6: host6:/data/brick1 Brick7: host7:/data/brick1 Brick8: host8:/data/brick1 If I create a symlink inside one glusterfs partition from master like this: $ cd /storage/scratch1-8/directory $ touch foo $ ln -s foo my_link then, my_link may be correctly followed with some commands (such as cat, readlink, ...), but generates errors with other commands (such as ls -l, cp -a, ...). An especially troublesome consequence is that if I $ cp -a /storage/scratch1-8/directory ~/tmp/ the directory and file `foo' are copied, but not `my_link'. This causes non-serious data loss, as soon as the original directory is discarded. Downgrading to version 3.4.2-1 and rebooting the systems makes the issue vanish. Please investigate this bug. Thanks in advance for any help. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/20 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages glusterfs-server depends on: ii glusterfs-client 3.5.0-1 ii glusterfs-common 3.5.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-1 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140118-1 ii libpython2.7 2.7.7-2 ii libreadline6 6.3-6 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1h-2 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140118-1 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-3 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13 Versions of packages glusterfs-server recommends: ii nfs-common 1:1.2.8-6 glusterfs-server suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
