Problems on 15TB ZFS flatfs repo: mutating MFS dir with 25k entries, ipfs add hang #10588
Comments
GitHub said "File size too big: 25 MB are allowed, 50 MB were attempted to upload." So here's "ipfs-profile-2024-11-17-utc.zip": Update edit: This really is worse than expected. Add files command hanging on a small file (and sometimes oom-killing things) is one thing, but missing files is way worse. I see that the ipfs datastore indexes or whatever cannot find the following, meaning that it's completely gone or the index got messed up:
I had 100% of that folder in the past: Timeline: Point is that no filesystem or data corruption or data screw up happened other than ipfs's. That bafybeif...qm2m folder = 321 blocks (32,722,333 bytes). It corresponds to these .data files: I didn't run any gc command, and as far as I know, no gc was ran in the background. No point in running mirror HDDs if the data gets deleted by some software (RAID is not a backup). This is really annoying or frustrating. |
Note: It is not that the 244 out of 322 blocks were deleted. Adding files to MFS does not necessarily download all the data, but rather creates references to the data. Did you explicitly preload the data after It'd be helpful to get profiles during the bad events such as:

I think your leveldb datastore blew up. Does leveldb is used to store the pinset and the mfs root, probably it is hanging there. That doesn't explain your "data missing" part, as the blocks are stored in flatfs ( |

Description
Things were working fairly fast and OK (not great, but OK), then after a certain event a day ago things got way slower or stopped working. Setup: ZFS mirror pool of two 18 TB HDD which mostly contains IPFS data, like 15 TB of that. Things were working OK because like a month ago pinning stopped working. I saw some error about "cannot fix 1800 pins" or something occasionally. A day ago I was doing this with a list of 1,105,578 IPFS CIDs (totaling to 1.2 TB):
$ cat /home/u/Downloads/t5.txt | xargs -d "\n" sh -c 'for args do cid="$(echo "$args" | sed "s/ .*//g")"; fn="$(echo "$args" | sed "s/.* //g")"; date -u; ipfs files cp -p "/ipfs/$cid" "/dup/organize/4chan/mlp/$(echo "$fn" | perl -pE "s/^(....).*/\1/g")/$(echo "$fn" | perl -pE "s/^....(..).*/\1/g")/$fn"; date -u; done' _ >> /home/u/Downloads/t6.txt
What that command does: the input is many lines where each line is "[raw blocks CID] [Unix timestamp filename]" and each file is 1KB to 4MB in size. That command was running in offline mode yesterday; no ipfs daemon was running. It then puts those files in paths like this: "ipfs files cp -p /ipfs/[cid] /mfs/1419/00/1419000480902.jpg". It logs the timestamp of each "ipfs files cp" command to file "t6.txt".
That was the event which I think messed things up. It did 25,859 operations of copying files to MFS. After I canceled that command 24 or 48 hours ago, I have had persistent problems with my IPFS stuff. Such as the daemon not starting or hanging: ipfs/ipfs-docs#1956 - not a problem anymore. I do have the following problem; adding a small file to IPFS never finishes - this ran for like 30 minutes and didn't exit:
And as said above, pinning doesn't work, so
ipfs --offline pin add --progress bafybeibfcytwdefk2hmatub3ab4wvfyei34xkwqz5ubzrqwslxi3d5ehau
is always stuck as "Fetched/Processed 0 nodes". About the 25,859 operations before it became bad: at the start of the text file you can see that files were copied to MFS quickly and at the end it went way slower:Like a week ago I saw some error about a dirty flag not being cleared. I have attached the output file of "$ ipfs diag profile" for more details. If there's something to be learned from this, I guess it's to not copy many files to MFS without the IPFS daemon running. I was trying to copy more than one million but only copied like 25,000. Also I've seen some weirdness with the "ipfs files" set of commands in the past (copy/move).
