Open Stack

Is there anyway to identify if this is the case? It is a possibility that it *might* have been broken since install, but due to log rotation we are currently unable to prove this.

I have encountered this traceback but I was doing something unusual: I was blowing away an existing swift system and rebuilding it with a smaller ring power.  Unfortunately I had not cleaned up all of the old data on one of the devices.  On the reconfigured system the object replicator encountered partitions on that uncleaned device, in the /srv/node/<device>/objects directory, from the old configuration and so some of the partitions encountered in that directory were greater than expected with the newer/smaller ring. As a result the object-replicator could not translate the larger partition to a device id and blew up (producing the backtrace).

Mike,

Did you at some stage remove a node from your system and decommission it?  We've seen similar (but not identical) backtraces in the replicator when someone powers up an old node.

It's a good idea to wipe the rings off nodes that you are removing from the system (after rebalance has finished of course).

Hi,

We are seeing a replication error on swift. The error only is seen on a single node, the other nodes appear to be working fine.
Installed version is debian wheezy with swift 1.4.8-2+deb7u1

Can anyone shed any light on this or next steps in debugging it or fixing it?
