Hello, I am starting here because the filesystems in question are GFS. Here are a few facts: iscsi bonded ethernet with 9000 MTU setting LVM GFS Here is an iostat of the volumes in question: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rsec/s wsec/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util sdc 11.36 564.51 373.65 99.31 3082.85 5397.92 17.93 7.64 16.13 1.69 79.82 sdd 11.92 567.96 266.21 48.28 2230.24 5044.40 23.13 0.91 51.38 2.04 64.30 sdf 13.80 536.48 263.91 77.40 2225.89 5014.98 21.21 0.70 46.72 2.13 72.54 sde 39.97 802.23 345.06 47.22 3089.78 6969.91 25.64 2.42 45.02 1.89 74.32 The load average of the box is 40. I am not using near the capacity of the network. Based on all of this, anyone have any thoughts? My await seems a tad high. :) Thanks! -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
