Dear Yan and Stefan, thanks for the additional information, it should help reproducing the issue. The pdsh command executes a bash script that echoes a few values to stdout. Access should be read-only, however, we still have the FS mounted with atime enabled, so there is probably meta data write and synchronisation per access. Files accessed are ssh auth-keys in .ssh and the shell script. The shell script was located in the home-dir of the user and, following your explanations, to reproduce the issue I will create a directory with many entries and execute a test with the many-clients single-file-read load on it. I hope it doesn't take too long. Thanks for your input! ================= Frank Schilder AIT Risø Campus Bygning 109, rum S14 ________________________________________ From: Yan, Zheng <ukernel@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: 16 May 2019 09:35 To: Frank Schilder Subject: Re: mimic: MDS standby-replay causing blocked ops (MDS bug?)
