Fixed In Version: glusterfs-3.12.2-27
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when a file with a large number of shards was deleted, the shard translator synchronously sent unlink operations on all the shards simultaneously. This caused replicate translator to acquire locks on the .shard directory. Hence, when a huge number of locks got accumulated in locks translator, the search for a possible matching lock got slower. This caused timeouts which lead to disconnects and subsequent failure of file deletion, leading to stale shards being left in the .shard directory. With this fix, the deletion file operation is inclusive and the cleanup of shards is moved to the background. Irrespective of how big a sharded file is,its deletion operation will return immediately, and the space consumed by the associated shards to be deleted will be reclaimed eventually.

Hi,

The doc itself looks good.
But I just wanted to highlight that this won't be a known issue once RHGS-3.4 Batch Update 2 is rolled out, which is where it is being fixed.

My understanding is that if this doc text is going to make it to the "known issues" section of batch update 2, then this won't be necessary as it is going to be fixed there.

Comment 28 SATHEESARAN 2018-12-10 12:12:45 UTC
Verified with glusterfs-3.12.2-31.el7rhgs and RHV 4.2.7-1

1. Created a 2 TB disk on the gluster SD backed with 64MB sharded gluster volume
2. Created a filesystem on the disk and populated data almost around 2TB.
3. Deleted the VM image from RHV storage domain.

Observed that there are no hangs, no issues with SD or hosts, all the shards are deleted.
No ghost shards left behind.
