Hi Darrell,
Thanks again for your advice, I've applied the acltype=posixacl on my
zpools and I think that has reduced some of the noise from my brick logs.
I also bumped up some of the thread counts you suggested but my CPU load
skyrocketed, so I dropped it back down to something slightly lower, but
still higher than it was before, and will see how that goes for a while.
Although low space is a definite issue, if I run an ls anywhere on my
bricks directly it's instant, <1 second, and still takes several minutes
via gluster, so there is still a problem in my gluster configuration
somewhere. We don't have any snapshots, but I am trying to work out if any
data on there is safe to delete, or if there is any way I can safely find
and delete data which has been removed directly from the bricks in the
past. I also have lz4 compression already enabled on each zpool which does
help a bit, we get between 1.05 and 1.08x compression on this data.
I've tried to go through each client and checked it's cluster mount logs
and also my brick logs and looking for errors, so far nothing is jumping
out at me, but there are some warnings and errors here and there, I am
trying to work out what they mean.
It's already 1 am here and unfortunately, I'm still awake working on
this
issue, but I think that I will have to leave the version upgrades until
tomorrow.
Thanks again for your advice so far. If anyone has any ideas on where I can
look for errors other than brick logs or the cluster mount logs to help
resolve this issue, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
- Patrick
