* fix(ec): gather shards from all disk locations before rebuild (#8631)
Fix "too few shards given" error during ec.rebuild on multi-disk volume
servers. The root cause has two parts:
1. VolumeEcShardsRebuild only looked at a single disk location for shard
files. On multi-disk servers, the existing local shards could be on one
disk while copied shards were placed on another, causing the rebuild to
see fewer shards than actually available.
2. VolumeEcShardsCopy had a DiskId condition (req.DiskId == 0 &&
len(vs.store.Locations) > 0) that was always true, making the
FindFreeLocation fallback dead code. This meant copies always went to
Locations[0] regardless of where existing shards were.
Changes:
- VolumeEcShardsRebuild now finds the location with the most shards,
then gathers shard files from other locations via hard links (or
symlinks for cross-device) before rebuilding. Gathered files are
cleaned up after rebuild.
- VolumeEcShardsCopy now only uses Locations[DiskId] when DiskId > 0
(explicitly set). Otherwise, it prefers the location that already has
the EC volume, falling back to HDD then any free location.
- generateMissingEcFiles now logs shard counts and provides a clear
error message when not enough shards are found, instead of passing
through to the opaque reedsolomon "too few shards given" error.
* fix(ec): update test to match skip behavior for unrepairable volumes
The test expected an error for volumes with insufficient shards, but
commit 5acb4578a changed unrepairable volumes to be skipped with a log
message instead of returning an error. Update the test to verify the
skip behavior and log output.
* fix(ec): address PR review comments
- Add comment clarifying DiskId=0 means "not specified" (protobuf default),
callers must use DiskId >= 1 to target a specific disk.
- Log warnings on cleanup failures for gathered shard links.
* fix(ec): read shard files from other disks directly instead of linking
Replace the hard link / symlink gathering approach with passing
additional search directories into RebuildEcFiles. The rebuild
function now opens shard files directly from whichever disk they
live on, avoiding filesystem link operations and cleanup.
RebuildEcFiles and RebuildEcFilesWithContext gain a variadic
additionalDirs parameter (backward compatible with existing callers).
* fix(ec): clarify DiskId selection semantics in VolumeEcShardsCopy comment
* fix(ec): avoid empty files on failed rebuild; don't skip ecx-only locations
- generateMissingEcFiles: two-pass approach — first discover present/missing
shards and check reconstructability, only then create output files. This
avoids leaving behind empty truncated shard files when there are too few
shards to rebuild.
- VolumeEcShardsRebuild: compute hasEcx before skipping zero-shard locations.
A location with an .ecx file but no shard files (all shards on other disks)
is now a valid rebuild candidate instead of being silently skipped.
* fix(ec): select ecx-only location as rebuildLocation when none chosen yet
When rebuildLocation is nil and a location has hasEcx=true but
existingShardCount=0 (all shards on other disks), the condition
0 > 0 was false so it was never promoted to rebuildLocation.
Add rebuildLocation == nil to the predicate so the first location
with an .ecx file is always selected as a candidate.

- Defense-in-depth: validates even though upstream should catch issues
* fix: replace TotalShardsCount with MaxShardCount for custom EC ratio support
Critical fixes to support custom EC ratios > 14 shards:
disk_location_ec.go:
- validateEcVolume: Check shards 0-31 instead of 0-13 during validation
- removeEcVolumeFiles: Remove shards 0-31 instead of 0-13 during cleanup
ec_volume_info.go ShardBits methods:
- ShardIds(): Iterate up to MaxShardCount (32) instead of TotalShardsCount (14)
- ToUint32Slice(): Iterate up to MaxShardCount (32)
- IndexToShardId(): Iterate up to MaxShardCount (32)
- MinusParityShards(): Remove shards 10-31 instead of 10-13 (added note about Phase 2)
- Minus() shard size copy: Iterate up to MaxShardCount (32)
- resizeShardSizes(): Iterate up to MaxShardCount (32)
Without these changes:
- Custom EC ratios > 14 total shards would fail validation on startup
- Shards 14-31 would never be discovered or cleaned up
- ShardBits operations would miss shards >= 14
These changes are backward compatible - MaxShardCount (32) includes
the default TotalShardsCount (14), so existing 10+4 volumes work as before.
* fix: replace TotalShardsCount with MaxShardCount in critical data structures
Critical fixes for buffer allocations and loops that must support
custom EC ratios up to 32 shards:
Data Structures:
- store_ec.go:354: Buffer allocation for shard recovery (bufs array)
- topology_ec.go:14: EcShardLocations.Locations fixed array size
- command_ec_rebuild.go:268: EC shard map allocation
- command_ec_common.go:626: Shard-to-locations map allocation
Shard Discovery Loops:
- ec_task.go:378: Loop to find generated shard files
- ec_shard_management.go: All 8 loops that check/count EC shards
These changes are critical because:
1. Buffer allocations sized to 14 would cause index-out-of-bounds panics
when accessing shards 14-31
2. Fixed arrays sized to 14 would truncate shard location data
3. Loops limited to 0-13 would never discover/manage shards 14-31
Note: command_ec_encode.go:208 intentionally NOT changed - it creates
shard IDs to mount after encoding. In Phase 1 we always generate 14
shards, so this remains TotalShardsCount and will be made dynamic in
Phase 2 based on actual EC context.
Without these fixes, custom EC ratios > 14 total shards would cause:
- Runtime panics (array index out of bounds)
- Data loss (shards 14-31 never discovered/tracked)
- Incomplete shard management (missing shards not detected)
* refactor: move MaxShardCount constant to ec_encoder.go
Moved MaxShardCount from ec_volume_info.go to ec_encoder.go to group it
with other shard count constants (DataShardsCount, ParityShardsCount,
TotalShardsCount). This improves code organization and makes it easier
to understand the relationship between these constants.
Location: ec_encoder.go line 22, between TotalShardsCount and MinTotalDisks
* improve: add defensive programming and better error messages for EC
Code review improvements from CodeRabbit:
1. ShardBits Guardrails (ec_volume_info.go):
- AddShardId, RemoveShardId: Reject shard IDs >= MaxShardCount
- HasShardId: Return false for out-of-range shard IDs
- Prevents silent no-ops from bit shifts with invalid IDs
2. Future-Proof Regex (disk_location_ec.go):
- Updated regex from \.ec[0-9][0-9] to \.ec\d{2,3}
- Now matches .ec00 through .ec999 (currently .ec00-.ec31 used)
- Supports future increases to MaxShardCount beyond 99
3. Better Error Messages (volume_grpc_erasure_coding.go):
- Include valid range (1..32) in dataShards validation error
- Helps operators quickly identify the problem
4. Validation Before Save (volume_grpc_erasure_coding.go):
- Validate ECContext (DataShards > 0, ParityShards > 0, Total <= MaxShardCount)
- Log EC config being saved to .vif for debugging
- Prevents writing invalid configs to disk
These changes improve robustness and debuggability without changing
core functionality.
* fmt
* fix: critical bugs from code review + clean up comments
Critical bug fixes:
1. command_ec_rebuild.go: Fixed indentation causing compilation error
- Properly nested if/for blocks in registerEcNode
2. ec_shard_management.go: Fixed isComplete logic incorrectly using MaxShardCount
- Changed from MaxShardCount (32) back to TotalShardsCount (14)
- Default 10+4 volumes were being incorrectly reported as incomplete
- Missing shards 14-31 were being incorrectly reported as missing
- Fixed in 4 locations: volume completeness checks and getMissingShards
3. ec_volume_info.go: Fixed MinusParityShards removing too many shards
- Changed from MaxShardCount (32) back to TotalShardsCount (14)
- Was incorrectly removing shard IDs 10-31 instead of just 10-13
Comment cleanup:
- Removed Phase 1/Phase 2 references (development plan context)
- Replaced with clear statements about default 10+4 configuration
- SeaweedFS repo uses fixed 10+4 EC ratio, no phases needed
Root cause: Over-aggressive replacement of TotalShardsCount with MaxShardCount.
MaxShardCount (32) is the limit for buffer allocations and shard ID loops,
but TotalShardsCount (14) must be used for default EC configuration logic.
* fix: add defensive bounds checks and compute actual shard counts
Critical fixes from code review:
1. topology_ec.go: Add defensive bounds checks to AddShard/DeleteShard
- Prevent panic when shardId >= MaxShardCount (32)
- Return false instead of crashing on out-of-range shard IDs
2. command_ec_common.go: Fix doBalanceEcShardsAcrossRacks
- Was using hardcoded TotalShardsCount (14) for all volumes
- Now computes actual totalShardsForVolume from rackToShardCount
- Fixes incorrect rebalancing for volumes with custom EC ratios
- Example: 5+2=7 shards would incorrectly use 14 as average
These fixes improve robustness and prepare for future custom EC ratios
without changing current behavior for default 10+4 volumes.
Note: MinusParityShards and ec_task.go intentionally NOT changed for
seaweedfs repo - these will be enhanced in seaweed-enterprise repo
where custom EC ratio configuration is added.
* fmt
* style: make MaxShardCount type casting explicit in loops
Improved code clarity by explicitly casting MaxShardCount to the
appropriate type when used in loop comparisons:
- ShardId comparisons: Cast to ShardId(MaxShardCount)
- uint32 comparisons: Cast to uint32(MaxShardCount)
Changed in 5 locations:
- Minus() loop (line 90)
- ShardIds() loop (line 143)
- ToUint32Slice() loop (line 152)
- IndexToShardId() loop (line 219)
- resizeShardSizes() loop (line 248)
This makes the intent explicit and improves type safety readability.
No functional changes - purely a style improvement.
