Hi,
I’m trying to set up a MemSQL 7.0 cluster (single host). The installation of 6.8 worked without problems, but upgrading to 7.0 or installing this version from scratch fails.
Installation stops with “Failed to start Leaf node on 127.0.0.1 (1/1)”.
I analyzed the log files for this node:
13285804 2020-01-16 10:02:01.350 INFO: Thread 115121: CreateOrOpen: memsql: Creating root file roots/memsql_root

13286213 2020-01-16 10:02:01.351 ERROR: Thread 115121: CreateFileAndAllocateSpace: Failed to create file `roots/memsql_staging`: 22 (Invalid argument).

13470655 2020-01-16 10:02:01.535 FAIL: Failed to recover 'memsql' database (error 3)
So it seems to be a file handling related problem. We run an LXC 3.0.3 environment with Ubuntu 5.0.0-37.40~18.04.1-generic 5.0.21 and the ZFS file system.
ZFS maybe doesn’t support the way the root file is created (O_DIRECT?). Is there a way to run MemSQL 7.0 on ZFS?
