[CentOS] xfsaild causing load, and stuck in D state - Centos 6.4 x64
PowerEdge 2850 with PERC SCSI RAID controller. 16GB RAM Dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz Using megaraid driver and xfs on 3x 300GB SCSI disks as /dev/sdb (total 572GB) (RAID-5) Stock Centos 6.4 x64, everything updated. Kernel : 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP My Load always shows : top - 10:30:21 up 23:09, 1 users, load average: 0.99, 0.96, 0.79 yet there is no services what-so-ever doing anything. Using PowerTOP I can see that xfsaild is causing second most wake-ups (after kernel core : hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer) ) < Detailed C-state information is not P-states (frequencies) 3.00 Ghz 100.0% 1500 Mhz 0.0% 1125 Mhz 0.0% 750 Mhz 0.0% 375 Mhz 0.0% Wakeups-from-idle per second : 125.1 interval: 10.0s no ACPI power usage estimate available Top causes for wake-ups: 47.7% (119.6) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer) 39.9% (100.0) xfsaild/sdb1 : xfsaild (process_timeout) Again, using TOP I can see that xfsaild is stuck in D state. It never changes. 10050 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 0.0 0.0 0:01.17 xfsaild/sdb1 My only way to fix this, is either rebooting the machine, unmounting the volume and mounting it back online. I've been rsyncing data twice between this server and another one. The rsync process takes about 30m-1hour. After the rsync operation I see that the xfsaild is stuck in D State and my Load is near 1.00. I'v had no problem what-so-ever on centos 6.3 or early versions on other servers. Any thoughts ? Information, help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Svavar

Thank you James. I installed the latest centosplus kernel, and it fixed it. Looks like this problem will be fixed in kernel-2.6.32-358.5.1.el6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=921958 Thanks allot.
