Expected behavior

Copying data to volume must work.

Actual behavior

Copying data to volume just froze the stack and only restart helps.

Information

  • Same workflow fully works in Docker CE for AWS 18.03.0-ce.
  • data4share
    • ~200MB
    • diffrent files and folders
  • Stack Configuration
    • Create EFS prerequsities for CloudStor? yes

Steps to reproduce the behavior

docker -H 127.0.0.1:2374 volume create \
   --driver "cloudstor:aws" \
   --opt backing=shared \
   --opt perfmode=maxio \
   shared_volume

docker -H 127.0.0.1:2374 run -it --rm \
   --mount type=volume,volume-driver=cloudstor:aws,source=shared_volume,destination=/volume \
   alpine_based_image \
   rsync -az --verbose --numeric-ids --human-readable /data4share/ /volume/

I'm having the same issue with my actual stack in aws. it's happening since AWS 18.06.1-CE was upgraded.

Same issue here.. for us cloudstor seems to break when using backing=shared..
We downgraded to 18.03 and it works well now!

Has anyone figured out how to fix this? Appears we're getting bit with it now.

@leostarcevic how did you go about downgrading?

d-h1 commented Nov 3, 2018

@mateodelnorte I basically just rolled back to the 18.03 AMI-IDs. I've been saving previous releases in our repository, because Docker only provides the latest release AFAIK. Let me know if you need help

they just link the latest template from the site, but there are all versions in the bucket. The version that works for us is on https://editions-us-east-1.s3.amazonaws.com/aws/stable/18.03.0/Docker.tmpl

But the diff is only in new condition EFSEncrypted and new instance types from m5 and c5 family. And engine 18.06 - so the breaking change may be there.

FYI still don't work with last version 18.09: https://editions-us-east-1.s3.amazonaws.com/aws/stable/18.09.2/Docker-no-vpc.tmpl

Shame that they don't give a fuck with even simple response so we know where we stand. Really like 6 months without anything ? .. Time to switch to rexray, period ..

Anyone find a solution to this yet? I mounted the host log directory inside a container and didn’t see anything that meaningful (lots of timeouts). I’d really like to not be vulnerable to CVE-2019-5736... I thought this template was supposed to be “baked and tested...”

Digging in a little further, I tried spinning up yet another brand new stack with the "Encrypt EFS" option turned on. Still no love. Also, it looks like I can mount the EFS volume (and see/inspect its contents) in a manger node that isn't trying to run a container that requires access to the volume. Any such interaction from a manager node that is trying to run a container that has that volume mapped hangs, and that container is completely unresponsive.

So there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with EFS. Also, containers that don't rely on EFS work just fine. Seems like it's the plugin at fault here. Does anyone know where or if the code for the plugin is available somewhere?

@jderusse @paullj1 What were your test cases? Can you provide number of files and directories?

I'm trying out the Docker 18.09.2 AMI:s with T3 instances and I've created file sizes from 1MB up to 1GB with Cloudstore/EFS and can't see any problems. Swarm exists of 3 managers and 3 workers.

Hi this isn't working for me either, slightly different error than others have mentioned:

create scaling_mysql_data: VolumeDriver.Create: EFS support necessary for backing type: "shared"

I have created the cluster with the appropriate EFS setting:

/home/docker # docker plugin ls
ID                  NAME                DESCRIPTION                       ENABLED

And specified the proper mount config in a compose file:

volumes:
  mysql_data:
    driver: "cloudstor:aws"
    driver_opts:
      backing: shared

This is happening with the latest version:

I'm seeing this issue too.

My test setup is simple:

version: "3.7"

services:
  test:
      image: alpine
      command: "sh -c 'sleep 900'"
      volumes:
        - teststorage:/mnt
      deploy:
        restart_policy:
          condition: none

volumes:
  teststorage:
    driver: "cloudstor:aws"
    driver_opts:
      backing: "shared"

I then exec into the running container and try dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/test.file bs=1M count=1

It will hang. Syslog reveals some information, but I think I have a line from the NFS module that is missing otherwise:

This is a single-node (manager only) deployment for testing, although I've created similar in a larger scale setup and seen it as well (when I ran into the problem in the first instance). It's running in ap-southeast-1, on a modified template, because the last template update was just after EFS was released into the AP region. I will, when I have time, see if I can replicate the behaviour in another region.

I wonder if this is related to the mount options, such as noresvport not being set? More info here: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=812356#882043

I cannot see the mount options used by the opaque cloudstor:aws plugin, so it's hard to say.

Given this issue has been open a long time, if the developers aren't able to support it, perhaps they should consider open sourcing it instead, or at least indicate if EE is similarly affected?

edit: Just to add a bit more information. I can write varying amounts of data before it dies, even with conv=fsync set with dd.

Also, I have found the mount options in the log:

rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=172.31.1.178,local_lock=none,addr=172.31.5.191

I note that noresvport isn't there, but remain unsure if it's anything to do with the issue. A working theory would be a reconnect event takes place to handle the write load, but that makes a big assumption about how and when EFS does that sort of thing.

Hi @paullj1,

OK that's interesting. Thanks for the extra data points.

How did you test the mount options? In my view it's not possible to tweak how cloudstor mounts the EFS volume it will attach to the container. If you tested those options separately it might not be a fair comparison.

We are having the exact same issue with ECS mounting to efs volumes. Looks like mount fails/recovers intermittently which causes containers that mounts to the efs to fail with following error.

@paullj1 I suspect the cloustor driver might not treat your mount options the same way, but I'm not sure. If those options get ignored, then all bets are off.

@serkanh if you get intermittent errors, it might still be perpetuated by my hunch. Or it might not.

I'd consider offering a bounty for this, but there's little point when the only people with access to the code don't seem to even look at their issues lists...

@paullj1 I'm sorry I re-read your message and see you were using pure NFS on a local mount. I may also do some experiments along those lines when I get a chance.

@stevekerrison, no worries! There has to be a combination of options that work, I just haven't found it yet. Once those options are found, I suspect the only thing that will need to change for the Cloudstor plugin to work, is those options.

@serkanh, I see the same thing in my logs (syslog, and dmesg). It's not that it's failing intermittently, it's that it periodically updates you on its failure to mount the share. Since mounting a disk mostly happens in kernel space, the kernel is letting you know that it has a hung task. Those messages should appear every 2 minutes.

I ran a test similar to yours, and get the same failures. I mounted a local nfs mount, using docker-compose, in swarm mode, attached to the EFS volume that's supposed to be used by CloudStor. I used these options:

nfsvers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2,noresvport

What I did notice was that upon creating a new directory, it appeared in my swarm's docker volume ls as a cloudstor:aws volume (the volumes are just subdirectories of the EFS volume). In fact if you inspect EFS cloudstor mounts you'll see they go into /mnt/efs/{mode}/{name} where {mode} differentiates between regular and maxIO.

So I suspect that some part of the cloudstor plugin is interfering with my NFS mount. I'd be interested to see how the system handles NFS-mounted EFS volumes if cloudstor's EFS support is disabled. Alas, I don't know if the cloudformation without EFS will include the NFS drivers or not, as I've not dug that deep.

More testing... it doesn't look like it's the options. I looked at the EFS options from one of my other swarms (using an older template where Cloudstor actually works), and they're identical. The delta might be that they added the "encryption" option? Maybe that's causing issues? To recap:

  • I'm able to create a brand new cluster with the EFS mounts created for me
  • I can create a Cloudstor volume (general purpose IO), then mount that volume inside a container where I can create files, and directories on the share
  • I can write contents to those files and read the content back out as long as it's ASCII text, and done in small chunks (just tested echo 'asdf' > asdf)
  • I can NOT write binary data at speed to any file or it hangs the process (and subsequently the container) indefinitely... only way to break the hang, is to reboot the instance
    • tested: dd if=/dev/urandom of=./test.bin count=10 bs=1M
