We asked the customer to add read ahead to the debug log. (lctl set_param debug=+reada)

The debug log is available in the attached support bundle (from crash 2014-06-05-20:01:29).

Read-ahead settings:
----8< ----

1. lctl get_param llite..max_read_ahead
   llite.store1-ffff88120ee93c00.max_read_ahead_mb=40
   llite.store1-ffff88120ee93c00.max_read_ahead_per_file_mb=40
   llite.store1-ffff88120ee93c00.max_read_ahead_whole_mb=2
   ----8< ----

We asked the customer to take a look at the web server logs to see which files are accessed at the time of the crash. This is never the same file.

It looks like LU-4192

It's great to hear that this patch has held up so well in testing. Our usual practice before Bull deploy things into production is to ensure that we have at least two reviews and Oleg has signed off on it. We would only land it to the b2_1 branch if/when we create a 2.1.7 release.

Regards

Peter

I think yes, and I'll try to make it land to b2_1 branch as well.

We had no issue with the Lustre fs since the last two weeks.

bobijam, can we safely add this patch into our 2.1.6 branch?

[Bruno Travouillon (Inactive)]

Hi bobijam,

The patch is in test since this morning. We should be able to give you a feedback in the next two weeks.

Thanks,

Bruno
