Hi All, We have a xen server and using 8 core processor.

All of our Kafka clusters are fairly write-heavy. The cluster in question is our second-heaviest ? we haven?t yet upgraded the heaviest, due to the issues we?ve been experiencing in this one. Here is an iostat example from a host within the same cluster, but without the RAID check running: [root at r2k1 ~] # iostat -xdmc 1 10 Linux 3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x86_64 (r2k1) 05/27/16 _x86_64_ (32 CPU)

I?ve posted this on the forums at https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=57926&p=244614#p244614 - posting to the list in the hopes of getting more eyeballs on it. We have a cluster of 23 HP DL380p Gen8 hosts running Kafka. Basic specs: 2x E5-2650 128 GB RAM 12 x 4 TB 7200 RPM SATA drives connected to an HP H220 HBA Dual port 10 GB NIC The drives are configured as one large

Look for a single drive that has substantially greater await than ~10msec. If all the drives except one are taking 6-8msec, but one is very

Hi, I am currently running a 10 Node OCFS2 Cluster (version 1.3.9-0ubuntu1) on Ubuntu Server 8.04 x86_64.

Hi all, This is my first post to the list, I hope someone out there can help! I am running xen 3.0.3, with CentOS 5.2 based Dom0 (kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5) Recently I have noticed some complete system lockups on a few different servers. Neither Dom0 or any of the guests respond to pings, connecting a keyboard and monitor to the system only shows a blank screen. Nothing is written to logs

Hi Centos Users The server (ProLiant DL380 G5, Centos 4.3) was not responsible anymore (SSH), fans rotated at full power and the console was blank. After restart it seems to be fine. Now I am analyzing sar statistics (in system logs nothing special, unusual). The hardware monitoring with HP tools didn't work. # sar -P ALL Linux 2.6.9-34.ELsmp (cent061) 01/15/2008 12:00:01 AM

Hi 2 all ! I have problems with concurrent filesystem actions on a ocfs2 filesystem which is mounted by 2 nodes. OS=RH5ES and OCFS2=1.2.6 F.e.: If I have a LV called testlv which is mounted on /mnt on both servers and I do a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test.a bs=1024 count=1000000" on server 1 and do at the same time a du -hs /mnt/test.a it takes about 5 seconds for du -hs to execute: 270M

Is anyone else having major I/O peaks due to logrotate or other jobs running simultaneously across multiple guests. I have one KVM server running Centos 5.4 with local disk that is seriously suffering as most of the guests rotate their syslog at the same time. Looking at the KVM server I'm seeing 11:00:01 PM CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 03:40:01 AM

Hey! I have a strange condition in one of the servers that I don't where to start looking. I login to the server via SSH (cant doit any other way) and anything that I type is slow HTTP sessions timeout waiting for screen redraw. So, the server is acting "slow". server is bare metal. no virtual services. no alarms in the disk raid note: server was restarted because of power failure.

I just installed CentOS 5.4 64 bit release on a 1.9ghz CPU with 8gB of RAM. It has 2 Western Digital 1.5TB SATA2 drives in RAID1.

Hello, I'm writing from the otherside of the world from where my systems are, so details are coming in slow. We have a 6TB OCFS2 volume across 20 or so nodes all running OEL5.4 running ocfs2-1.4.4. The system has worked fairly well for the last 6-8 months. Something has happened over the last few weeks which has driven write performance nearly to a halt. I'm not sure how to proceed, and

Issue: Vista reads slowly from a samba server. This appears to pop up periodically here and elsewhere. My samba.conf file has: [homes] ... vfs objects = readahead As suggested elsewhere. Writes are approximately 17-18MB/s which is acceptable. Reads are in the 8MB/s range which is appalingly slow. Using linux smbclient and windows XP clients I can read at 25+MB/s. I've enabled vfs

I've been running 3.18.25-18.el6.x86_64 + our build of xen 4.4.3-9 on one host for the last couple of weeks and have gotten several soft lockups within the last 24 hours. I am posting here first in case anyone else has experienced the same issue. Here is the first instance: sched: RT throttling activated NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!

Hi, So is the KVM or Vmware as the host(s)? I basically have the same setup ie 3 x 1TB "raid1" nodes and VMs, but 1gb networking. I do notice with vmware using NFS disk was pretty slow (40% of a single disk) but this was over 1gb networking which was clearly saturating. Hence I am moving to KVM to use glusterfs hoping for better performance and bonding, it will be interesting to see

Hi I'm trying to setup a 3 node gluster, and am hitting huge performance bottlenecks. The 3 servers are connected over 10GB and glusterfs is set to create a 3 node replica. With a single VM performance was poor, but I could have lived with it. I tried to stress it by putting copies of a bunch of VMs on the servers and seeing what happened with parallel nodes.. network load never broke
