This ticket is more informational than an actual issue, because the underlying issue seemed to be a consequence of running on ZFS (zfsonlinux 0.8.3). And I should know better than that; But I wanted to document my experience in case it is helpful. I was able to easily workaround this issue by switching to another filesystem (ext4, though it should be noted that xfs is also recommended).
Yugabyte version: yugabyte-2.1.2.0
Without further ado: I was doing some very simple stress resiliency stress testing of trying to start yugabyte, and then kill it, and see how it reacts, of as follows:
Step 1: Install
Step 2: Try to break something (expectation: this shouldn't actually break anything):
I ran into trouble almost immediately:
(wait for a few minutes)
Then, kill node 1 processes and see what happens:
kill 3017 3008
Now I can't restart node.
