Hi,
we have a couple of Dell servers with Red Hat 5.2 and OpenVZ, sharing a
GFS filesystem.
We have noticed that there are a directory which processes stalls when
try to access it.
For instance look this processes:
[r...@parmenides ~]# ps -fel | grep save
4 D root 8997 1 1 78 0 - 1780 339955 09:40 ?
00:02:31 /usr/sbin/save -s espai.upc.es -g Virtuals -LL -f - -m
parmenides -t 1236294005 -l 4 -q -W 78 -N /mnt/gfs /mnt/gfs
0 S root 16736 21208 0 78 0 - 980 pipe_w 12:07 pts/1
00:00:00 grep save
4 D root 18796 1 1 78 0 - 1777 339955 08:46 ?
00:02:16 /usr/sbin/save -s espai.upc.es -g Virtuals -LL -f - -m
parmenides -t 1236294005 -l 4 -q -W 78 -N /mnt/gfs /mnt/gfs
Both processes are stalled reading a file:
# lsof -p 8997 | grep gfs
save 8997 root cwd DIR 253,7 2048 7022183
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109/usr/lib/openoffice/program
save 8997 root 3r DIR 253,7 3864 26 /mnt/gfs
save 8997 root 6r DIR 253,7 3864 232 /mnt/gfs/vz
save 8997 root 7r DIR 253,7 3864 233 /mnt/gfs/vz/private
save 8997 root 8r DIR 253,7 3864 230761349
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109
save 8997 root 9r DIR 253,7 3864 230773154
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109/usr
save 8997 root 12r DIR 253,7 2048 7003944
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109/usr/lib
save 8997 root 14r DIR 253,7 3864 7022175
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109/usr/lib/openoffice
# lsof -p 18796 | grep gfs
save 18796 root cwd DIR 253,7 2048 7022183
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109/usr/lib/openoffice/program
save 18796 root 3r DIR 253,7 3864 26 /mnt/gfs
save 18796 root 6r DIR 253,7 3864 232 /mnt/gfs/vz
save 18796 root 7r DIR 253,7 3864 233
/mnt/gfs/vz/private
save 18796 root 8r DIR 253,7 3864 230761349
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109
save 18796 root 9r DIR 253,7 3864 230773154
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109/usr
save 18796 root 12r DIR 253,7 2048 7003944
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109/usr/lib
save 18796 root 14r DIR 253,7 3864 7022175
/mnt/gfs/vz/private/109/usr/lib/openoffice
Also there is a process with the glock_ flag accesing the same:
0 D root 8425 6783 0 78 0 - 669 glock_ 08:24 ?
00:00:00 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/pagein
-L/usr/lib/openoffice/program @pagein-common
What can be the problem? A corruption in the filesystem?
should a "gfs_fsck" fix the problem?
Regards.
Frank
