Any follow up on this?

 Are there known issues using a replica 3 glsuter datastore with lvm thin provisioned bricks?

moved to 3.6 specifically to get the snapshotting feature, hence my desire to migrate to thinly provisioned lvm bricks.

What version of gluster are you running on these?

I’ve seen high load during heals bounce my hosted engine around due to overall system load, but never pause anything else. Cent 7 combo storage/host systems, gluster 3.5.2.

I have run a pretty straightforward test.  I created a two brick 50 G replica volume with normal lvm bricks, and installed two servers, one centos 6.6 and one centos 7.0.  I kicked off bonnie++ on both to generate some file system activity and then made the volume replica 3.  I saw no issues on the servers.   

Not clear if this is a sufficiently rigorous test and the Volume I have had issues on is a 3TB volume  with about 2TB used.

I don't think I have the resources to test it meaningfully.  I have about 50 vms on my primary storage domain.  I might be able to set up a small 50 GB volume and provision 2 or 3 vms running test loads but I'm not sure it would be comparable.  I'll give it a try and let you know if I see similar behaviour.

do you mean raw partitions as bricks or simply with out thin provisioned lvm?

Could you let me know if you see this problem without lvm as well?

I am in the process of replacing the bricks with thinly provisioned lvs yes.

hi,
      Are you using thin-lvm based backend on which the bricks are created?

I have a Ovirt cluster with 6 VM hosts and 4 gluster nodes. There are two virtualisation clusters one with two nehelem nodes and one with  four  sandybridge nodes. My master storage domain is a GlusterFS backed by a replica 3 gluster volume from 3 of the gluster nodes.  The engine is a hosted engine 3.5.1 on 3 of the sandybridge nodes, with storage broviede by nfs from a different gluster volume.  All the hosts are CentOS 6.6.

Problems happen when I try to add a new brick or replace a brick eventually the self heal will kill the VMs. In the VM's logs I see kernel hung task messages.

I am wondering if my volume settings are causing this.  Can anyone with more knowledge take a look and let me know:
