Greetings: This is most likely to be an administration problem, but I am trying to use it as a hook to gain understanding into workings of Swift.
I have a test cluster with 2 VMs and 4 "nodes". At some point, I reinstalled one of the nodes, and now this 404 happens from time to time: Dec 6 19:08:19 kvm-ni account-server 192.168.129.18 - - [07/Dec/2011:02:08:19 +0000] "HEAD /vdb/18239/AUTH_1" 404 - "-" "-" "-" 0.0010 "" The root cause, apparently, is that this account does not exist. On the system which shows no such symptom, we have: [root@kvm-rei log]# ls -l /srv/node/vdb/accounts/ total 12 drwxrwxrwx. 3 swift swift 4096 Nov 19 00:22 124217 drwxrwxrwx. 3 swift swift 4096 Nov 30 15:36 18239 drwxrwxrwx. 3 swift swift 4096 Nov 18 18:44 236930 On the problem node, we have: [root@kvm-ni log]# ls -l /srv/node/vdb/accounts/ total 8 drwxrwxrwx. 3 swift swift 4096 Nov 18 22:22 124217 drwxrwxrwx. 3 swift swift 4096 Nov 18 16:50 236930 All I know at present is this blurb in the Administration Guide: Replication updates are push based. For object replication, updating is just a matter of rsyncing files to the peer. Account and container replication push missing records over HTTP or rsync whole database files. So, the suspicion is that the account updater is not running. Why is it that the accounts are not synchronized? Or in a more interesting way, what part of code, if any, is supposed to be responsible for keeping the cluster consistent? -- Pete _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
