Description of problem:Geo-rep session started successfully, even though it couldn't write the info about the geo-rep session in the file /var/lib/glusterd/vols/master/info in one of the brick machines. The reason it couldn't write the info was , that machine didn't have space in the root partition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHS-2.0.z How reproducible: May be not consistent. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create dist-rep volume for master. 2.Fill up the root partition of one of the brick machine of the master. 3.Try to start geo-rep session. Actual results: the geo-rep start command succeeded Expected results: It should fail with proper error message. Additional info:
Vijaykumar, Could you please attache the logs if possible?
fixed with newer geo-replication implementation.
since geo-rep got revamped since this bug, now the behavior is, if it fails to write to the file, it fails at commit stage, it doesn't fail completely, in the sense it will have inconsistent data over the cluster. There is a bug for that Bug 994549 verified on glusterfs-3.4.0.17rhs-1.el6rhs.x86_64
