Hello, i am testing gfs and its very slow, please look at this if it is normal or i miss something i have 2 node cluster, nodes are connected via SAS to disk array promise e310s, when i run dd on attached block device i have cca 150MBps throughput on both nodes there is debian etch, i compile cluster-2.00.00 with gfs1 module i create one 475GB logical volume (i dont use clvmd, just normal lvm), create gfs1 on it gfs_mkfs -t cluster1:data0 -p lock_dlm -j 2 /dev/vgdata0/lvdata0 mount that lv on both nodes to directory /d/0/, run df on both nodes and then run touch on node 1: serpico# touch /d/0/test and ls on node 2: dinorscio:~# time ls /d/0/ test real 0m9.486s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s it took almost 10 seconds to display 1 file on that filesystem when i again create other file via touch(node1) and run ls (node2) it took again cca 10 seconds i monitor activity with dstat and there is 50% iowait on node where run ls (50% because 2 core cpu on node), but no disk activity nodes are connected via 1gbps idle ethernet and when ls is runing, i look at wchan with ps ps axf -o pid,wchan:20,cmd|grep ls 6387 sync_buffer \_ ls --color=auto /d/0/ i run ps many times there is still sync_buffer, i dont see other kernel function this is my cluster.conf <?xml version="1.0"?> <cluster name="cluster1" config_version="20"> <cman expected_votes="1" two_node="1" /> <clusternodes> <clusternode name="dinorscio" votes="1" nodeid="1"> <fence> </fence> </clusternode> <clusternode name="serpico" votes="1" nodeid="2"> <fence> </fence> </clusternode> </clusternodes> <fencedevices> </fencedevices> <rm> <failoverdomains/> <resources/> </rm> </cluster> and last thing, i try gfs2, but same result Thank you -- Pavel Stano -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
