It happened again today, and I got around 80 queud processes waiting to write into same file. All processes were in "D" state when looked from 'ps' and they all blocked whole directory where file is (ls into that dir would block too). Now, node just recovered itself, but that directory was unavailable for almost an hour and a half! Do deadlocktimeout and lock_timeout (in /proc/cluster/config/dlm) have anything to do with this and are they configurable? Can someone shed a light on /proc interface, just to know what's where? This could also go into usage.txt or even separate file... > Hello, > > I have been receieving this messages lately: > > Sep 15 08:16:02 test01 kernel: dlm: locks: dir entry exists 6bd5037b fr 5 r 0 7 60300b6 > Sep 15 08:53:29 test01 kernel: dlm: locks: dir entry exists abef0134 fr 3 r 0 7 7382d53 > Sep 15 10:42:18 test01 kernel: dlm: locks: dir entry exists d00d7 fr 4 r 0 7 52565b8 > Sep 15 10:42:18 test01 kernel: dlm: locks: dir entry exists f0012 fr 4 r 0 7 52565b8 > Sep 15 10:46:00 test01 kernel: dlm: locks: dir entry exists f0302 fr 6 r 0 7 5356fea > Sep 15 11:10:32 test01 kernel: dlm: locks: dir entry exists 420026 fr 4 r 0 7 2ef1081 > Sep 15 11:48:01 test01 kernel: dlm: locks: dir entry exists 30282 fr 5 r 0 7 56a3afd > > it seems that it has to do with a particular directory.
