Description of problem: On a heterogenous brick volume, newly created files were not placed correctly on the back-end, before creating new files, the cluster.weighted-rebalance option was disabled and rebalance triggered on the volume. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.0.6 How reproducible: consistently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a 2 brick distributed volume. (20G and 5G bricks) 2. Fuse mount the volume on a client node. 3. Create dir1 on the mount point. 4. Check the hash layout for the dir1 on the backend bricks. 5. Create files inside the dir from the mount point. #cd dir1 #touch f17 and f8 6. Now, disable the cluster.weighted-rebalance option on the volume (it is set to "on" by default) 7. Trigger rebalance on the volume. 8. Check the hash layout of dir1 on backend bricks. 9. Create new files. Check if files are placed correctly on back-end bricks. <-- Files not placed correctly. ---------As files were not placed correctly, did following steps------- 10. Now mount the volume on a new client node. 11. Look up from new client: #cd dir1/ # ls f12 f17 f7 f8 12. Try creating the files f12 and f7 again. (f12 and f7 already exist) # touch f7 f12 # ls f12 f17 f7 f8 13. Check if files are placed correctly on back-end. <--- Files not placed correctly. 14. Now remove the files f12 and f7 and create them again on the new mount. # rm -rf f7 f12 # ls f17 f8 # touch f7 f12 # ls f12 f17 f7 f8 15. Check if files are placed correctly on back-end. <--- Now files will be placed correctly. Actual results: On creating new files f12 and f7(which hash to the 5G brick according to the new layout) are created on 20G brick. Expected results: Files f12 and f7 should be created on the 5G brick as per the hash value of file and the hash layout. Additional info: sos-reports will be provided.
