Hello, lustre development team
background: we have two postgresql instances running as a primary and
standby and they share the same xlog file and data files (we change PG code
to achieve this) which located in the mounted lustre file system, and we
want to have a try with the lustre file system, we used gfs2 before, and we
expect the lustre will show a much better performance, but ...
We meet a read/write concurrent access problem related with Lustre. Would
you like to give us some suggestions? Any advices are appreciated, and
thank you in advanced : )
note: we are very sure the standy instance will not write any data to disk.
(to be sure of this, we also shutdown the standby end, and use pg_xlogdump
tool to read the xlog file, the problem still happened, and pg_xlogdump to
is just a query to with any write operation)
Scenario Description:
There’re 4 nodes(CentOS Linux release 7.4) connected with infiniband
network(driven by MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.4):
10.0.0.106 acts as MDS with a local PCI-E 800GB SSD that used as MDT.
10.0.0.101 acts as OSS with a same local PCI-E 800GB SSD that used as OST.
10.0.0.104 and 10.0.0.105 act as Lustre client and mount the Lustre file
system at the directory of “/lustre”.
The Lustre related packages are compiled from official
lustre-2.10.5-1.src.rpm.
The simplest verification(i.e. dd command) passed without errors.
Error:
Then start our customized PostgreSQL service at 104 and 105. 104 runs as
the primary PostgreSQL server, and 105 runs as the secondary PostgreSQL
server. All the two PostgreSQL nodes read/write the shared directory of “
/lustre” provided by Lustre. The primary PostgreSQL server will open files
with **RW** mode and write something into the files; at the **meantime**
the second PostgreSQL server will open the same files with **R** mode and
read the data written by the primary PostgreSQL server, and it gets the *
*wrong** data (the flushed data by primary in disk is error i.e. write
wrong data into disk). This will happen when we run a benchmark tool of
PostgreSQL.
PS 1.
We tried different options to mount the Lustre:
mount -t lustre -o flock 10.0.0.106@o2ib0:/birdfs /lustre
mount -t lustre -o flock -o ro 10.0.0.106@o2ib0:/birdfs /lustre
but the error always exists.
PS 2.
Attach the initial information, maybe helpful.
