Description Nithya Balachandran 2018-09-07 08:27:11 UTC
Description of problem:

dht_filter_loc_subvol_key allows you to specify which subvolume to create a file on. If this is not the hashed subvolume, we need to create a linkto file as well because lookup-optimize is now enabled by default on all volumes.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a 3x1 distribute volume
2. From the fuse mount, run
 for i in {1..100}; do touch file-$i@<volname>-dht:<volname>-client-1; done
3.

Actual results:

No linkto files created on any bricks


Expected results:

All data files should be created on <volname>-client-1 but there should be linkto files on the other 2 bricks.


Additional info:

This is a debugging hook and not expected to be used in production.

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/21114 committed in master by "N Balachandran" <nbalacha> with a commit message- cluster/dht: Create a linkto file if required

Using the dht_filter_loc_subvol_key to create
files on specific subvols did not create a linkto
file. This can make the file inaccessible as
lookup-optimize is now enabled by default.
