similar to: 100% iowait in domU with no IO tasks.

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?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

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)

Dear all, I have installed DRBD 8.3.11 compiled from sources. However the backend block will freeze if there is high IO load. I use Remus to support high availability and checkpointing is controlled by remus for each 400ms. If I check the Iostat I got the idle CPU will decreasing extremely each checkpointing and when its reach 0% of idle cpu the local backing device will freeze and damage the

It was found that the software NIC team created in Centos was having issues due to a failing network cable. The team was going berserk with up/down changes.

The raid check starts out fairly fast (20000K/sec - the limit that's been set), but then quickly drops down to about 4000K/Sec. dev.raid.speed sysctls are at the defaults: It looks like some pretty heavy writes are

I did some additional testing - I stopped Kafka on the host, and kicked off a disk check, and it ran at the expected speed overnight. I started kafka this morning, and the raid check's speed immediately dropped down to ~2000K/Sec. I then enabled the write-back cache on the drives (hdparm -W1 /dev/sd*). The raid check is now running between 100000K/Sec and 200000K/Sec, and has been for several

Hi, I have a DELL PE R610 (32GB RAM 2x Six Core CPU and about 1,4 TB RAID 10) running with 20.000 Mailaccounts behind 2 Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Proxies on a Debian Lenny. The Server was running about 1 year without any problems. 15Min Load was between 0,5 and max 8. No high IOWAIT. CPU Idletime about 98%. But since yesterday morning the Systemload on the Server has been increased over 500. I Think

Hi, I''m trying to convert two ext4 FS to btrfs, but I''m surprised by the time needed to do that conversion. The first FS is on a 500GiB block device, and btrfs-convert is running since more than 48h : root 1978 25.6 47.7 748308 732556 ?

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

Hopefully I summed up the jist of the problem in the subject line. ;) I have a GFS cluster with ten Xen 3.0 dom0s sharing an iSCSI LUN. There are on average 8 domUs running on each Xen server. The dom0 on each server is hard-coded to 2 CPUs and 2GB of RAM with no ballooning, and has 2GB of partition-based swap. When creating a new domU on any of the Xen servers, just after the completion of

Hello, We have a 5 node OCFS2 volume backed by a Sun (Oracle) StorageTek 2540. Each system is running OEL5.4 and OCFS2 1.4.2, using device-mapper-multipath to load balance over 2 active paths. We are using the default multipath configuration for our SAN. We are observing iowait time between 60% - 90%, sustaining at over 80% as I'm writing this, driving load averages to >25 during an rsync

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

Hi all. We just put a relative large server in operation (for our measures ;-) ), a 4x Dual Core / Intel with 16GB Ram and a 3ware 9550SX SATA-RAID with 4 drives. Operating system for the Dom0 is an up-to-date gentoo linux. Everything runs really fine, there are 4 Domu''s running, 1x gentoo and 2x debian and 1x Windows Server 2003. DomU''s are running blazing fast in normal

Folks, At what point in iowait should I start to worry about having a bottleneck, or is this something that can't be answerd with a single integer? According to sar, after my last reboot to turn off hyperthreading as a test, at one time, I see 4.9% iowait, but then one minute later, it droped back to 0.01%, and rarely even gets to 1.0%, at least what I remember from yesterday. ?
