Hi,
We have one Lustre volume that is getting full and some other
volumes that are totally empty. The one that is full is a little sluggish
at times with the following messages appearing in syslog on the OSS -
Lustre: 5809:0:(filter_io_26.c:698:filter_commitrw_write()) data1-OST0001:
slow i_mutex 82s
Lustre: 5809:0:(filter_io_26.c:711:filter_commitrw_write()) data1-OST0001:
slow brw_start 82s
Lustre: 5809:0:(filter_io_26.c:763:filter_commitrw_write()) data1-OST0001:
slow direct_io 82s
Lustre: 5809:0:(filter_io_26.c:776:filter_commitrw_write()) data1-OST0001:
slow commitrw commit 82s
But the same two OSS are also exporting the empty volume, which
is very fast on any tests (like creation of a tar file, bonnie etc etc)
I also tested the same thing on the nfs exported backup volume of the
filled up lustre volume (exported from the same OSS server) and it
doesn''t
show any significant slow down. Is it normal for Lustre volumes to slow
down when the volumes get full?
Thanks
Balagopal
