Description Corey Marthaler 2005-01-04 17:02:33 UTC
Description of problem:
I had the morph cluster (morph-01 - morph-06) running a light I/O load
all night long for about 16 hours before I had revolver take down 2
nodes (morph-03 & morph-05). Those two nodes ended up getting fenced
by morph-01, brought back into the cluster, and had the filesystems
mounted back up. In the meantime, while replaying their journals,
morph-04 sees a bad gfs_meta_check and then ends up getting fenced by
morph-01 as well. The remaining nodes continue the I/O load.

Reproduced this again during recovery. This time a failed

No Sense

What is this?  This isn't the first time you've posted a bug with this
line right before something goes terribly wrong.  Is sda the device
this filesystem is on?



Comment 3 Corey Marthaler 2005-01-05 16:32:10 UTC
The filesystem is on sda. 

I'm not exactly sure what that messages means. What I don't like is
that it always seems to happen as a result of recovery taking place in
all those bugs I've posted. 

I know that we panic as a result of read or write errors and if I ever
see scsi read or write errors followed by a panic/issue I ignore it,
but I can seem to run I/O for hours without I/O errors and the second
I try recovery that error shows up and an problem occurs, and at times
the filesystem even ends up corrupted as a result.

Comment 4 Corey Marthaler 2005-01-05 19:02:35 UTC
I did not see those kernel messages after trying Dean's suggestion of
having I/O on all but one or two nodes in the cluster and continually
loading and unloading the fcdriver on the node(s) which were not doing
I/O. 



Comment 5 Corey Marthaler 2005-01-05 21:19:58 UTC
I tried a bunch of recovery attempts with filesystems mounted and _no_
I/O going and couldn't hit the kernel messages either.

Comment 6 Ken Preslan 2005-01-05 21:27:14 UTC
What I'm worried about is that if your hardware is flakey enough that
it generates spontaneous I/O errors regularly that is also is causing
silent corruptions as well.  That "sense key" message might be
indicative of one of them.

All the bugs that have this "sense key" message (139696, 140736, and
140736) are errors where a block is just totally corrupted.  This
would fit with the I/O layer reading or writing garbage or mismatching
I/O requests and responses.

139696 is hard to see as general filesystem corruption -- GFS read
block #35835474 and got back contents that said it was block
#82515456.  Lock consistency problems might cause a block to get
overwritten with incorrect or a different type of metadata, but it
wouldn't cause a block to get written to the wrong place.  A read
request whose response gets routed as a response to a different
request would cause this type of error.  It could also be caused by a
data mixup in the controller.  It could even be caused by a read
request that supposedly completed, but didn't -- the data in the
buffer could be whatever was in memory from the last time the memory
was used for something.  I'm not saying that is definitely isn't a GFS
problem, but it doesn't seem like it is.


Comment 7 Ken Preslan 2005-01-05 21:38:25 UTC
Which FC controller is this?



Comment 8 Corey Marthaler 2005-01-05 21:40:51 UTC
I've seen this on nodes with qla2300 and lpfc.

Comment 9 Corey Marthaler 2005-01-12 17:36:21 UTC
FWIW, I saw this issue on my cluster without the lpfc nodes (only
qla2300s). Also, there was no "kernel: Info fld=0x0, Current sda:
sense key No Sense" message before it happened. I'll try with other
hardware to see if mine is causing this.

Comment 10 Kiersten (Kerri) Anderson 2005-07-18 20:16:17 UTC
Still happening?
