Re: [Gluster-users] VMs blocked for more than 120 seconds

Cache in qemu is none. That should be correct. This is full command :

I’ve highlighted disks. First is VM context disk - Fuse used, second is SDA (OS is installed here) - libgfapi used, third is SWAP - Fuse used.

Krutika,

I will start profiling on Gluster Volumes and wait for next VM to fail. Than I will attach/send profiling info after some VM will be failed. I suppose this is correct profiling strategy.

Thanks,

BR!

Also, what's the caching policy that qemu is using on the affected vms?

Is it cache=none? Or something else? You can get this information in the command line of qemu-kvm process corresponding to your vm in the ps output.

What version of gluster are you using?

Also, can you capture and share volume-profile output for a run where you manage to recreate this issue?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,

there is no healing operation, not peer disconnects, no readonly filesystem. Yes, storage is slow and unavailable for 120 seconds, but why, its SSD with 10G, performance is good.

If you mean /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vm.log there is nothing. I am looking for problem for more than month, tried everything. Can’t find anything. Any more clues or leads?

BR,
