我正在测试设置带有 DRBD 存储的 Xen DomU,以便轻松进行故障转移。大多数情况下,启动 DomU 后,我会立即收到 IO 错误:

drbdsetup 的手册页说 LVM(我使用的)不支持屏障(更好地称为tagged command queuing
或native command queing
),因此我将 drbd 设备配置为不使用屏障。这可以在中看到/proc/drbd
(通过“ wo:f
,表示刷新,drbd 在屏障之后选择的下一个方法):
3: cs:Connected ro:Primary/Secondary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate C r----
ns:2160152 nr:520204 dw:2680344 dr:2678107 al:3549 bm:9183 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:0
在另一台主机上:
3: cs:Connected ro:Secondary/Primary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate C r----
ns:0 nr:2160152 dw:2160152 dr:0 al:0 bm:8052 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:0
我还按照 drbd 文档启用了选项 disable_sendpage:
cat /sys/module/drbd/parameters/disable_sendpage
Y
我还尝试将 barriers=0 添加到 fstab 作为挂载选项。但有时它仍然显示:
[ 58.603896] blkfront: barrier: write xvda2 op failed
[ 58.603903] blkfront: xvda2: barrier or flush: disabled
我甚至不知道 ext3 是否有 nobarrier 选项。而且,由于我的存储系统只有一个是电池供电的,所以它无论如何都不是智能的。
为什么当我禁用它时它仍然会抱怨障碍?

在我的测试设置中:主主机的存储是带电池的 9650SE SATA-II RAID PCIe。辅助存储是软件 RAID1。
DRBD+Xen 不是用得比较多吗?有这些问题,就没法用了。
答案1
我不知道这是否会改变什么,但您也可以在 DomU 配置中指定 DRBD 卷,如下所示:
disk = [ 'drbd:drbdvm,xvda2,w' ... ]
这样,在创建 DomU 时,Xen 会自动将当前节点设为指定资源的主节点(除非该资源已被第二台机器使用)。此外,当 DomU 被销毁时,资源将被释放。
我有许多像这样运行的 DRBD 对,但从未见过您发布的错误。
答案2
添加extra = " barrier=off"
到您的 DomU 配置。请注意障碍。
还要在 DomU 的 /etc/fstab 中添加相应的 barrier/off 选项(根据文件系统的挂载选项)。
更新:
屏障/关闭选项是确保屏障关闭的第二个措施。
至于屏障操作:正如您在启动期间看到的,这些操作会失败。因此关闭它不会让事情变得更糟。除此之外,这些屏障只有在启用了写入缓存的硬盘上才真正有意义,因为在电源故障时不会将数据写回磁盘。
服务器应该有电池供电的 UPS 以及电池供电的 RAID 控制器。因此,开启屏障只会降低性能(即使它可以工作)。
