Description of problem: ======================= When any of the EC volume bricks goes down and comes up when IO was happening, getting the below warning messages in self heal daemon log (shd log), end user can't understand problem is with which sub volumes, we are printing the hex decimal values for subvolumes, enduser has to do lot of maths to know the sub volumes. We have to improve these warning messages for end user to understand.

Have basic recommended EC volume setup. 2. Fuse mount the volume. 3. Make one brick down and start IO in the mount point. 4. after some time of IO happens, brick up the offline brick using volume start force. 5. Check the self heal daemon logs for above mentioned warning messages. Actual results: =============== Warning messages throwing when EC volume offline brick comes up are difficult to understand for end user. Expected results: ================= Improve the warning messages throwing when EC volume offline brick comes up to make end user to understand.

I'm currently facing flooding EC errors, while "volume status" said all bricks were online. I could not fully understand what the "ec_bin()" is doing, so while waiting for this patch to be built and online, could anyone point me to a document about how this is calculated? my log excerpt: > [2017-02-16 03:02:40.455644] W [MSGID: 122053] [ec-common.c:116:ec_check_status] 0-mainvol-disperse-1: Operation failed on some subvolumes (up=3F, mask=3F, remaining=0, good=39, bad=6) > [2017-02-16 03:02:40.455684] W [MSGID: 122002] [ec-common.c:71:ec_heal_report] 0-mainvol-disperse-1: Heal failed [Invalid argument]
ec_bin() converts the hexadecimal values shown in message to bit flags. For example your log currently shows: [2017-02-16 03:02:40.455644] W [MSGID: 122053] [ec-common.c:116:ec_check_status] 0-mainvol-disperse-1: Operation failed on some subvolumes (up=3F, mask=3F, remaining=0, good=39, bad=6) After applying the patch it would look something like: [--------------------------] W [MSGID: 122053] [ec-common.c:116:ec_check_status] 0-mainvol-disperse-1: Operation failed on some subvolumes (up=111111, mask=111111, remaining=000000, good=111001, bad=000110) Which indicates that 2nd and 3rd brick(count flags from right to left) in 0-mainvol-disperse-1 are bad.
Thank you for your explanation. But since my volume is a 4+2 ec, shouldn't it fix the bad blocks itself? Or does it means the underlying filesystem is corrupted so it cannot do anything other than reporting it? Many thanks.
Yes, the data should get healed. Please perform basic sanity check of the volume.
This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-3.10.0, please open a new bug report. glusterfs-3.10.0 has been announced on the Gluster mailinglists [1], packages for several distributions should become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.
