Hi All, Thanks for all the valued feedback and recommendations. Chris Schanzle has been a great help in tweaking what we already have and we are seeing considerable improvements after making some changes as to how (i|d)nodes are being cached and slab caches and what not. There still is fundamental issues based on other's recommendations that goes back to how the servers was setup to begin with. I'm slowly tweaking and getting everything stable again to a degree where it actually works, and then we will more than likely deploy a new front-end configured correctly (1M stripe sizes, xfs, proper mkfs options, etc.) before starting some rolling process to move load and reinstall each front-end server correctly. We do need to unfortunately take this drastic step as the raid arrays needs to be trashed and re-created obviously. Definitely learned a lot, and I'm sure that a lot of really useful information has made it to the archives as well! -- Chris. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
