HI, I have been seeing a similar GFS2 performance issue. when I did a file copy (4.3G) from a node to another node's gfs2 filesystem, it shows me *793.4KB/s* . however, same file copy to the same node but non gfs2 file system, it gives me *53.6MB/s*. not too sure why? it seems like gfs2 has a pe

So, in your opinion, there are no known issues which would cause this particular problem and this poor performance while deleting files should be considered normal? Thanks, Peter ~ On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 8:56 AM, Steven Whitehouse wrote: > Hi, > > On Fri, 2009-07-10 at 08:49 -0700, Peter Schobe

The initial writing is done via the network by checking out source trees from a Perforce repository. Beyond that, source trees are compiled causing the creation of many object files. Multiple source trees will be compiled from the same node or from multiple nodes. This performance problem exhibit

When we did our initial proof of concept, we did not notice any performance problem of this magnitude. We were using OS release 2. Our QA engineers passed approval on the performance stats of the gfs2 filesystem and now that we are in deployment phase they are calling it unusable. Have there been

We found with GFS2 on RHEL5.3 the same issue, and although we did not resolve it (and are migrating to NFS+SAN instead), we were able to partially mitigate it with several suggestions from either RedHat's support or from the cluster list: 1. disable LS color output (http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs

I've just had bad experience all around with GFS2. You may want to try GFS1 and play with the tunable parameters. On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 1:58 PM, Peter Schobel wrote: > I am trying to set up a four node cluster but am getting very poor > performance when removing large directories. A directory a

[Linux-cluster] rm -r on gfs2 filesystem is very slow

2009-07-08 Thread Peter Schobel
I am trying to set up a four node cluster but am getting very poor performance when removing large directories. A directory approximately 1.6G in size takes around 5 mins to remove from the gfs2 filesystem but removes in around 10 seconds from the local disk. I am using CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6
