Hi. I was trying to copy a 400 GB file to a gfs2 share. It was copying at 50MB/s approx. Suddenly after copying 80% ,the rate dropped to 30KB/s and stayed like that. I tried to kill the process but could't (which is normal) and after few minutes it was killed. Then I tried it again after few minutes and it was successfully copied at 50MB/s. But then after it looks like accessing the GFS share (even ls -l /gfsmount) takes 10-15 seconds to complete. Then I rebooted this node and everything is back normal. I am really confused what has gone wrong. GFS is running with all default parameters . Thanks!
