QRadar: GlusterFS migration script encounters a "Failed to mount store" error

Troubleshooting


Problem

The QRadar® upgrade to version 7.4.2 requires you to run a migration script on the console. This script migrates the High Availability file system from GlusterFS to Distributed Replication Block Device on all Event Collectors in your deployment (irrespective of whether they are currently part of an HA setup or not).
In some rare scenarios, the script can fail on Event Collectors that were upgraded from versions prior to 7.3.x that used an ext4 partition for /store.

Symptom

When run, the migration script fails and displays this sequence of error messages:


Jul 29 16:34:52 [ERROR] Failed to mount store: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda8, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.
Jul 29 16:34:52 [ERROR] Failed to resize /store on deployment. Check logs for more details
Jul 29 16:36:02 [ERROR] Unexpected error running run_prepare_ha: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'function' objects
