Hi All
Please see the attached text file which contains
details of a crash I observed recently while
running some tests against Linux nfsd with
XFS as the file system. Details are all there in
the file.
-Shehjar
Kernel 2.6.26 stable on both client and server
sunrpc.tcp_slot_table_entries=96
NFS wsize=32k
Server file system = XFS over software raid0 w/ 3 10k RPM SAS disks
nfsd threads = 512
Gbit network w/ Jumbo frames
Workload:
Iozone 1-20 writer processes
write() syscall record/buffer size= 50Megs
File size = 500Megs
Server machine is a 2xDual Core Itanium 2 with 8Gigs of RAM, so in theory, maximum memory pressure
will be for (500Megs * 20 Processes)
Client machine is a 4xDual Core Itanium 2 with 16Gigs of RAM.
Remarks:
1. The crash is preceded by hundreds of lines which look like this:
Filesystem "md0": Access to block zero in inode 271 start_block: 0 start_off: 0 blkcnt: 0 extent- state: 0 lastx: fa
2. Cannot be reproduced on every run of the above workload. Disk corruption?
The stack trace:
