XFS corruptions

XFS corruptions

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2731 bytes --]

Hi,

We have multiple 22 disk raid 6 arrays using LSI 9280-24i4e raid cards, all using enterprise grade drives. The array is setup with physical drive cache disabled and mounted using inode64 with nobarriers option in Oracle Linux Server release 6.6, kernel version 3.8.13-55.1.5.el6uek.x86_64. We are suffering from corruptions with xfs_repair unable to permanently fix the the issues. Output of dmesg from the latest corruption.

Hard to say, what does xfs_info /mountpoint says?

Are the corruption occuring on all machines or do they target some
systems more?

Did you try repairing using the latest (4.2 or 4.3) version of
xfs_repair? The Oracle Linux version is probably seriously out of date.

Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for the response.

 [root@gc003b ~]# xfs_info /dev/sdb
meta-data=/dev/sdb               isize=512    agcount=52, agsize=268435455 blks
         =                       sectsz=4096  attr=2, projid32bit=1
         =                       crc=0
data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=13916176384, imaxpct=1
         =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096   ascii-ci=0
log      =internal               bsize=4096   blocks=521728, version=2

realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0

We have 18 nodes each with 2 of these arrays and we are seeing this across the board.

I have updated the xfsprogs to 3.1.11-1.0.6.el6.x86_64 which is the latest version available on our yum repo.

This is a production system so upgrading to the latest version is not very easy. 

Thanks
Sandeep

Looks plain defaults... you didn't apply any customization, did you?

Hum, strange, are you running the latest RAID firmware on the
controllers?

Does this happen more often when the array is rebuilding, or verifying,
or when the system is under heavy IO? Or does it happen just completely
at random?

If you're not afraid of running binaries from unknown source, here's a
4.2.0 version I've built recently:

FYI, we cannot really support vendor enterprise on the upstream lists
because the code base is so different from vanilla/upstream kernels.
I same exactly the same thing for bugs reported on RHEL/CentOS
kernels, and for SLES kernels - only the vendor can properly support
their own franken-kernels...

Hence I'd suggest that you report the problem to your Oracle support
contact so they can walk you through the process of finding the
problem....

[ Darrick is really going to thank me for saying this. ]

Cheers,

Dave.

Probably what I'd have written anyway. :)

Oracle support might just tell you to upgrade the kernel whatever the
latest is.  3.8.13-55 is pretty far back AFAIK.

(Is not a support engineer, nor do I play one on TV.)

RE: XFS corruptions

[Sandeep Patel]

Yes, they only thing we changed from default is the isize.

We are running the latest version on the firmware. We previously upgraded the firmware on these thinking it would solve the problem.

The problems seem to occur at random. The load to these units are quite minimal at the moment and we are still having issues. 

Thanks
Sandeep

I just received a new server with an LSI controller similar to yours,
I'll run some tests but I'd suspect the kernel may be at fault. What is
your firmware version exactly?

The firmware for the raid card is 12.15.0-0205

Thanks for this. Let me know if you need any more details.

Hi Emmanuel,

Any luck with the testing. I am attaching a copy of my dmesg output which keeps on repeating. In this case, the error seems to be with one dinode.

Let me know if you progress this any further. On another note, we are looking to upgrade the firmware of our LSI raid cards the latest version. Seems like LSI have released a new FW not too long ago.

Thanks

The firmware for the raid card is 12.15.0-0205

Thanks for this. Let me know if you need any more details.

I just received a new server with an LSI controller similar to yours, I'll run some tests but I'd suspect the kernel may be at fault. What is your firmware version exactly?

I've run some tests on a 18x6 TB array, and no error occurred. However
I'm running a much newer kernel, 3.18.24.

Could you maybe try installing a different kernel on some machines and
see if it performs differently?

Does that mean it finds and fixes something "temporarily?"  If so, what?

Hi Emmanuel,

Some extra information for the volume which may be related. We do not partition or align the xfs formatted volume. We mount it directly using /dev/sda. The fstab info below.

LABEL=brick1            /export/brick1          xfs     nobarrier,inode64 1 2
LABEL=brick2            /export/brick2          xfs     nobarrier,inode64 1 2

Thanks

Hi Emmanuel,

I have managed to upgrade our kernel to 3.8.13-118.2.2.el6uek.x86_64 which was the latest available on our repo. I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks

OK. I'm pretty confident it should enhance the situation :)

Hi Emmanuel,

It seems you were correct. Our cluster seems to be much more stable since the kernel upgrade.

Thank you very much for your help. Really appreciate it.

So we have an inode that is marked free in the AGI btree, but
apparently still in use according to the shortform directory that
referenced it.

There are two possibilities here:

The first possibility is the inode btree buffer containing the
record indicating the inode is free/used never got written to
disk while the other metadata blocks made it to disk. Seeing as
the filesystem didn't hang here, it implies that the buffer was
written so that on I/O completion the tail of the log could
move forward. That is, the I/O was issued, no error was reported,
but the I/O never made it to disk. If there was an error, you
should see something like:

Warning: Device <bdevname>, XFS metadata write error, block 0x456 in <bdev>

in the syslog indicating a write error. In this case it woul dbe
non-fatal and XFS would try to write it again a little later.

The second possibility is that the write of the inode containing the 
shortform directory to disk did not actually hit the disk, but that
implies unlinks had already taken place well before the 'rm -rf'
was executed. Perhaps your workload does that....

However, both cases imply that an I/O was indicated as completing
successfully when they did not get written to disk, and that points
to a bug in the error handling in the underlying driver.

That being said - it could be a bug in the XFS error handling that
is causing this, but XFS tends to be pretty noisy when errors occur.
I guess that you need to add more tracing to indicate when errors
are induced so we can check if errors are being created against
the same buffers that the inconsistent state is being found in. That
will help point out if the errors are being reported to XFS or not
correctly.

Cheers,

Dave.

xfs corruptions

[Bernd Schubert]

Hello,

I'm presently debugging the error handler of the MPT fusion driver and
therefore causing errors on the disk (Infortrend scsi hardware raids).
When I later on try to delete files and directories having been created
before and during the failures, "rm -fr" simply says directory not empty.
No message in dmesg about it, but xfs_repair reports errors, see below.
Once xfs_repair has done its jobs, removing these directories works fine.
But this shouldn't happen, should it? This is with 2.6.26
