I have observed this behaviour recently and in the past on 4.3 and 4.4, and in my case it’s almost always following an ovirt upgrade. After upgrade (especially upgrades involving glusterfs) I’d have bricks randomly go down like your describing for about a week or so after upgrade and I’d have to manually start them. At some point it just corrects itself and is stable again. I really have no idea why it occurs and what’s happening that eventually stops it from happening.

Hello,

I have 3 node HCI cluster with oVirt 4.4.6 and CentOS8.

For time to time (I belive) random brick on random host goes down
because health-check. It looks like

I cannot link these errors to any storage/fs issue (in dmesg or
/var/log/messages), brick devices looks healthy (smartd).

I can force start brick with

gluster volume start vms|engine force

and after some healing all works fine for few days

Did anybody observe this behavior?

vms volume has this structure (two bricks per host, each is separate
JBOD ssd disk), engine volume has one brick on each host...

gluster volume info vms
