Hi all,
If dm-devel is the good list to ask questions, could anyone have a look
at my problem ?
I observe some IO errors on a multipath device for which the
max_sectors_kb parameter has been tunned. Value is increased from the
default (1024) to the value of the hw max sectors (32768).
The following error appears in the system log:
1301326968 2011 Mar 28 17:42:48 berlin4 kern err kernel
blk_rq_check_limits: over max size limit.
Followed by several I/O errors
1301326968 2011 Mar 28 17:42:48 berlin4 kern err kernel
end_request: I/O error, dev dm-10, sector 26624
1301326968 2011 Mar 28 17:42:48 berlin4 kern err kernel
end_request: I/O error, dev dm-10, sector 24576
1301326968 2011 Mar 28 17:42:48 berlin4 kern err kernel
end_request: I/O error, dev dm-10, sector 22528
...
I have seen in the device-mapper source code that when a multipath
device is configured, its limits are computed from a combination of all
the slave devices it uses (dm_calculate_queue_limits()).
Does it mean that tuning the dm device is forbidden ?
Is there way to re-validate the queue limits after the tuning ?
Do you think it would be safe if I additionally tune the max_sectors_kb
parameter of the slave devices ?
Thanks in advance,
Gregoire.
