Etcd does not Start after Disk is Full

Round 1: etcdmain: read .wal: input/output error

2021-11-21 20:43:04.262587 I | embed: initial cluster =
2021-11-21 20:43:04.280202 W | wal: ignored file 000000000000035c-00000000045d83a6.wal.broken in wal
2021-11-21 20:43:04.280256 W | wal: ignored file 0000000000000375-0000000004764aca.wal.broken in wal
2021-11-21 20:43:08.251726 C | etcdmain: read /var/lib/rancher/etcd/member/wal/0000000000000375-0000000004764aca.wal: input/output error

We can find the missing file is renamed from .wal to .wal.broken. We could rename the file back to .wal.

Round 2: etcdmain: walpb: crc mismatch

2021-11-21 20:50:19.312596 I | embed: initial cluster =
2021-11-21 20:50:19.323572 W | wal: ignored file 000000000000035c-00000000045d83a6.wal.broken in wal
2021-11-21 20:50:19.507366 C | etcdmain: walpb: crc mismatch

To solve this problem, one choice is to save and restore a snapshot.

Before starting, we could get some preparation:

# export NODE_NAME=container-1-paas-central-sakuragawa-cloud
# export KUBE_CA=/etc/kubernetes/ssl/kube-ca.pem
# export ETCD_PEM=/etc/kubernetes/ssl/kube-etcd-$NODE_NAME.pem
# export ETCD_KEY=/etc/kubernetes/ssl/kube-etcd-$NODE_NAME-key.pem
# export ETCD_SERVER=https://container-2:2379
# alias etcdctl="etcdctl --cert=$ETCD_PEM --key=$ETCD_KEY --cacert=$KUBE_CA --endpoints=$ETCD_SERVER"

Save a snapshot from other working nodes:

# etcdctl snapshot save snapshot.db
{"level":"info","ts":1637576476.7098856,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:68","msg":"created temporary db file","path":"snapshot.db.part"}
{"level":"info","ts":1637576476.722268,"logger":"client","caller":"v3/maintenance.go:211","msg":"opened snapshot stream; downloading"}
{"level":"info","ts":1637576476.7223496,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:76","msg":"fetching snapshot","endpoint":"https://container-2:2379"}
{"level":"info","ts":1637576478.531543,"logger":"client","caller":"v3/maintenance.go:219","msg":"completed snapshot read; closing"}
{"level":"info","ts":1637576479.3304148,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:91","msg":"fetched snapshot","endpoint":"https://container-2:2379","size":"25 MB","took":"2 seconds ago"}
{"level":"info","ts":1637576479.3305554,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:100","msg":"saved","path":"snapshot.db"}
Snapshot saved at snapshot.db

Then stop etcd server and restore the snapshot:

# docker stop etcd
# mv /var/lib/etcd/ /var/lib/etcd.old/
# etcdctl snapshot restore snapshot.db --data-dir=/var/lib/etcd/

Round 3: Restore from Snapshot (Again)

After etcd starts, it is not back to work as expected:

2021-11-22 11:46:37.003240 E | rafthttp: request cluster ID mismatch (got e8061948cdccadb7 want cdf818194e3a8c32)

First stop the node agent (again) and etcd container and delete all the etcd local data:

# docker stop etcd
# rm -f /var/lib/etcd/member/wal/*
# rm -f /var/lib/etcd/member/snap/*

To restore the node, we need some parameters from the origin node. We can run docker inspect etcd and collect some information from Args and Envs :

• --name
• --initial-cluster
• --initial-cluster-token
• --initial-advertise-peer-urls

Then use these parameters when restoring from a snapshot:

# etcdctl snapshot restore snapshot.db \
	--cert=$ETCD_PEM \
	--key=$ETCD_KEY \
    --cacert=$KUBE_CA \
    --name=etcd-container-1 \
    --initial-cluster=etcd-container-1="https://container-1:2380,etcd-container-2=https://container-2:2380" \
    --initial-cluster-token="etcd-cluster-1" \
    --initial-advertise-peer-urls="https://container-1:2380" \
    --data-dir /var/lib/etcd
Deprecated: Use `etcdutl snapshot restore` instead.

Finally, start etcd and the node will be back to the cluster.

$ docker start etcd
$ docker exec -e ETCDCTL_ENDPOINTS=$(docker exec etcd /bin/sh -c "etcdctl member list | cut -d, -f5 | sed -e 's/ //g' | paste -sd ','") etcd etcdctl endpoint status --write-out table
