Re: [zfs-discuss] help diagnosing system hang
I'm no expert, but the first thing I'd ask is whether you could repeat that test without using compression? I'd be quite worried about how a system is going to perform when it's basically running off a 50GB compressed file. There seem to be a lot of variables here, on quite a few new systems, and I'd want to try to focus on individual subsystems to ensure they're all working to spec fist. If you can try without compression, the next thing I'd want to test is to try with a file that's smaller than RAM. That should hopefully eliminate paging or RAM pressure, and allow you to verify that the storage subsystem is performing as expected. You could then re-enable compression and see if it still works. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] help diagnosing system hang
Hi all, First, I'll say my intent is not to spam a bunch of lists, but after posting to opensolaris-discuss I had someone communicate with me offline that these lists would possibly be a better place to start. So here we are. For those on all three lists, sorry for the repetition. Second, this message is meant to solicit help in diagnosing the issue described below. Any hints on how DTrace may help, or where in general to start would be much appreciated. Back to the subject at hand. --- I'm testing an application which makes use of a large file mmap'd into memory, as if it the application was using malloc(). The file is roughly 2x the size of physical ram. Basically, I'm seeing the system stall for long periods of time, 60+ seconds, and then resume. The file lives on an SSD (Intel x25-e) and I'm using zfs's lzjb compression to make more efficient use of the ~30G of space provided by that SSD. The general flow of things is, start application, ask it to use a 50G file. The file is created in a sparse manner at the location designated, then mmap is called on the entire file. All fine up to this point. I then start loading data into the application, and it starts pushing data to the file as you'd expect. Data is pushed to the file early and often, as it's mmap'd with the MAP_SHARED flag. But, when the application's resident size reaches about 80% of the physical ram on the system, the system starts paging and things are still working relatively well, though slower, as expected. Soon after, when reaching about 40G of data, I get stalls accessing the SSD (according to iostat), in other words, no IO to that drive. When I started looking into what could be causing it, such as IO timeouts, I run dmesg and it hangs after printing a timestamp. I can ctrl-c dmesg, but subsequent runs provide no better results. I see no new messages in /var/adm/messages, as I'd expect. Eventually the system recovers, the latest case took over 10 minutes to recover, after killing the application mentioned above, and I do see disk timeouts in dmesg. So, I can only assume that there's either a driver bug in the SATA/SAS controller I'm using and it's throwing timeouts, or the SSD is having issues. Looking at the zpool configuration, I see that failmode=wait, and since that SSD is the only member of the zpool I would expect IO to hang. But, does that mean that dmesg should hang also? Does that mean that the kernel has at least one thread stuck? Would failmode=continue be more desired, or resilient? During the hang, load-avg is artificially high, fmd being the one process that sticks out in prstat output. But fmdump -v doesn't show anything relevant. Anyone have ideas on how to diagnose what's going on there?
