Building GlusterFS

Below versions of GlusterFS are available in respective distributions at the time of creation of these build instructions:

  • RHEL (8.1, 8.2) - 6.0
  • Ubuntu 18.04 - 3.13.2
  • Ubuntu 20.04 - 7.2

The instructions provided below specify the steps to build GlusterFS 8.0 on Linux on IBM Z for following distributions:

  • RHEL (7.8, 8.1, 8.2)
  • SLES (12 SP5, 15 SP1)
  • Ubuntu (18.04, 20.04)

General Notes:

  • When following the steps below please use a super user unless otherwise specified
  • A directory /<source root>/ will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writable directory anywhere you'd like to place it
  • For Openssl build on SLES 15.x, latest kernel version is needed.

Building and Installing GlusterFS

Step 1: Build using script

If you want to build GlusterFS using manual steps, go to Step 2.

Use the following commands to build GlusterFS using the build script. Please make sure you have wget installed.

wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linux-on-ibm-z/scripts/master/GlusterFS/8.0/build_glusterfs.sh
# Build GlusterFS
bash build_glusterfs.sh   [Provide -h option to check usage]

If the build completes successfully, go to STEP 5. In case of error, check logs for more details or go to STEP 2 to follow manual build steps.

Step 2: Install the dependencies

  • Build yajl (For SLES only)

    cd $SOURCE_ROOT
git clone https://github.com/lloyd/yajl
cd yajl
git checkout 2.1.0
./configure
make install

4.2) Patch and run tests

  • The following patch fixes the test cases listed below that fail due to hardcoded hash values for little-endian systems:

    • ./tests/bugs/posix/bug-1619720.t
    • ./tests/bugs/replicate/bug-1655854-support-dist-to-rep3-arb-conversion.t
    • ./tests/bugs/glusterd/bug-1699339.t
    • ./tests/bugs/distribute/bug-1786679.t
    • ./tests/bugs/glusterfs/bug-902610.t
    • ./tests/basic/changelog/changelog-rename.t
    • ./tests/basic/distribute/dir-heal.t
    • ./tests/basic/namespace.t
    cd $SOURCE_ROOT/glusterfs
wget -O - $PATCH_URL/hash-tests.diff 
git apply hash-tests.diff

  • The following patch fixes test cases failing due to system configuration:

    • ./tests/bugs/shard/bug-1251824.t
    • ./tests/bugs/shard/bug-1468483.t
    • ./tests/basic/distribute/throttle-rebal.t
    • ./tests/bugs/nfs/bug-847622.t
    • ./tests/bugs/quota/bug-1293601.t
    • ./tests/00-geo-rep/00-georep-verify-non-root-setup.t
    cd $SOURCE_ROOT/glusterfs
wget -O - $PATCH_URL/test-patch.diff 
git apply test-patch.diff

  • Patch run-tests.sh for SLES 12 SP5 only, see this issue.)

    cd $SOURCE_ROOT/glusterfs
wget -O - $PATCH_URL/run-tests.sh.diff 
git apply run-tests.sh.diff

  • Run the test cases

    cd $SOURCE_ROOT/glusterfs
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH   #For SLES 15 SP1 Only
ldconfig                                                   #For SLES 15 SP1 Only
./run-tests.sh

Note:

  • If any of the tests fail with error volume create: patchy: failed: Host <hostname> is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state, make changes to file /etc/hosts by copying the host details entry that is present in the beginning to the section IPv6 capable hosts and replace 0.0.0.0 with the IP address of the host. It should be similar to : 0.0.0.0 <hostname>.xyz.com hostname

  • If you want to use the kernel NFS server or client on a Gluster storage server, make sure to disable the Gluster NFS server:

    gluster volume set <VOLUME> nfs.disable true

  • For geo-replication test cases:

    • Password-less SSH login has to be set up. Refer to the Setting Up the Environment for Geo-replication in the documentation.
    • The locale of the system must be UTF-8 for the test cases to pass._

  • The is_nfs_export_available function from nfs.rc used in some tests may fail intermittently. You may try to enable rpcbind as that may fix some of the test cases. The community is aware of this behaviour, refer here for more info.

  • For ./tests/bugs/glusterfs/bug-866459.t test case: This test is under investigation, refer to this issue for details.

  • For tests failing due to /mnt/glusterfs/0/: Transport endpoint is not connected, refer to the issue.

  • For ./tests/bugs/glusterfs-server/bug-861542.t test case: If the hostname of the machine is long, the test case will fail. The hostname of the machine can be shortened temporarily via the hostname command to get the test case to pass.

  • The following test cases fail if the file system is of type ext4. See issue

    • ./tests/bugs/posix/bug-990028.t

  • The test case ./tests/basic/gfapi/gfapi-copy-file-range.t fails for SLES (12 SP5, 15 SP1) on both x86_64 and s390x due to a system call failure. This is beacuse of the unsupported xfs reflink, it can be enabled via echo 'Y' > /sys/module/xfs/parameters/allow_unsupported.

  • The following test cases fail on Ubuntu if the nobody group is missing. The group can be added through the following command groupadd --non-unique --gid $(getent group nogroup | awk -F : -e '{print $3}') nobody:

    • ./tests/bugs/rpc/bug-954057.t
    • ./tests/bugs/glusterfs-server/bug-887145.t

  • The following test cases fail on RHEL 8 due to a kernel bug, updating the kernel via yum update kernel fixes the issue:

    • ./tests/basic/playground/template-xlator-sanity.t
    • ./tests/basic/trace.t

  • Tests under ./tests/bugs/snapshot require the snapd service to be stopped (systemctl stop snapd) if installed:.

  • Refer to this issue, some of the mentioned test cases are failing on RHEL 8.x, failing test cases will pass in next release.

  • Certain test cases timeout in run-tests.sh. They pass when run individually through prove -vf <testcase>. Following are few of the known test cases that fail due to timeout.

    • ./tests/basic/afr/entry-self-heal.t
    • ./tests/basic/afr/split-brain-healing-ctime.t
    • ./tests/basic/afr/split-brain-healing.t
    • ./tests/basic/afr/gfid-mismatch-resolution-with-cli.t

  • The test case ./tests/basic/ctime/ctime-utimesat.t passes but very rarely.

  • Additional information on the GlusterFS test framework can be found here.

Step 5: Run the GlusterFS Daemon (Optional)

glusterd

Step 6: Testing the GlusterFS volume (Optional)
