Re: xfsaild causing load, and stuck in D state - Centos 6.4 x64

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



It's a kernel bug and can safely be ignored.

----- Original Message -----
| 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%

|                                          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,
