Test: arequal.sh /usr /mnt/distribute/usr
Bug: checksum of regular files was different.
Configuration: found it on both distribute and single point to point setups with all performance translators.
Consistency in reproducing the issue: The bug is not reproducible conistently
Is issue found on sockets: Test not run with sockets as transport.

It was found that one binary git-repo-config was corrupted. git-repo-config was the file on glusterfs mount point.

e44ec37902b419eb7e599e5a268da18b  local.git-repo-config

diff on hexdump of these two files showed that a contiguous chunk of file of size 131056 (16 bytes less than iobuf size) bytes was zeroed out in corrupted file. I've attached the diff.

No rdma errors were found in both client and server logs.

Bug is easily reproducible with following shell script:

#!/bin/bash

GLUSTER_MOUNT=/mnt/gluster2
prev="empty" ;
while true; do
    cp -f /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive $GLUSTER_MOUNT
    sum=`md5sum $GLUSTER_MOUNT/locale-archive` 
    if [ "$prev" != "empty" -a "$prev" != "$sum" ]; then
        echo "mismatch prev=$prev sum=$sum"
        break
    fi
    prev=$sum
    rm -f $GLUSTER_MOUNT/locale-archive
done

locale-archive is a file of size around 50MB.

As of now, the minimum configuration required to reproduce this bug is distributed replicate with just write-behind as the only performance translator.

Minimum configuration required to reproduce the bug is a two node replicate setup with write-behind as the only performance translator on rdma transport.
