Description of problem: ----------------------- CLI shows *volume rebalance: butcher: success*,even though there are rebalance failures. [root@gqas009 ~]# gluster v rebalance butcher status Node Rebalanced-files size scanned failures skipped status run time in h:m:s --------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ -------------- localhost 0 0Bytes 0 0 0 completed 0:13:31 gqas015.sbu.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com 0 0Bytes 0 0 0 completed 0:14:27 gqas014.sbu.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com 0 0Bytes 260 0 0 completed 0:13:1 gqas010.sbu.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com 30338 162.4GB 177268 8 0 failed 8:16:47 volume rebalance: butcher: success [root@gqas009 ~]# Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ------------------------------------------------------------- glusterfs-3.8.4-11.el7rhgs.x86_64 How reproducible: ----------------- 1/1 Actual results: ---------------- Rebalance CLI outputs two contradictory statements. Expected results: ----------------- Since "success" means something good,CLI should show success only if the process completed successfully. Additional info: ----------------- None.
gluster v rebalance <volname> status would return a "failed" status only if the command itself fails. Here, the rebalance status command has completed successfully to provide the required information wrt rebalance and hence you get a "volume rebalance: butcher: success" output. This is an expected output and not a bug.
