Comment 1 Kotresh HR 2019-07-29 13:21:32 UTC
Description of problem:
The "trusted.glusterfs.mdata" xattr was present on a dir on brick1 when it was created, but when added new brick (brick2) to the volume, and did rebalance as well, the xattr was not present on the dir on new brick(brick2).

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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce :
===================
1.Create a 1 brick distributed volume.
2.Mount the volume on a client node using fuse.
3.Create a dir on client node
  #mkdir dir1
4.Check all the internal xattrs for the dir1 on the back-end using:
  #getfattr -de hex -m . /bricks/brick1/dir1
5.Add a new brick to the volume.
6.Trigger rebalance on the volume and let it complete.
7.Check all the internal xattrs for the dir1 on the back-end (old_brick and new_brick) using:
  #getfattr -de hex -m . /bricks/brick1/dir1


Actual Results:
==============
[root@dhcp46-63 ~]# getfattr -de hex -m . /bricks/brick8/vol6-b1/dir1    <------ Old brick

[root@dhcp47-188 dir1]# getfattr -de hex -m . /bricks/brick8/vol6-b2/dir1   <----- New brick

trusted.gfid=0xeb91e43ca84147ef872a31b119e7c1d4
trusted.glusterfs.dht=0xe92e902a00000000000000007ffffffe



Expected Results:
=================

As the trusted.glusterfs.mdata is an internal xattr, it should also behave like other xattrs (e.g. trusted.glusterfs.dht) and be present on dir1 on new brick as well.


Rebalance status output:
