[LU-10353] parallel-scale* tests fail with ‘No space left on device’

Related — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 22:18:45 +0000

Several of the tests in parallel-scale are failing with some variant of ‘No space left on device’. One failed parallel-scale test suite is at
https://testing.hpdd.intel.com/test_sets/fde9d7ba-dae4-11e7-8027-52540065bddc

The tests that fail are compilebench, simul, connectathon, iorssf, iorfpp, ior_mdtest_parallel_ssf, ior_mdtest_parallel_fpp, and fio.

For test_compilebench, the test checks to see if there is enough space to write to the file system and will skip the test if there is not enough. compilebench needs ~ 1GB of space to run. In this case, we can see that we have 12482080 KB. The following is from the client test log:

    fp.write(buf)
IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device
 parallel-scale test_compilebench: @@@@@@ FAIL: compilebench failed: 1

metabench runs with no problems, but simul fails with

16:46:21: Process 0(trevis-3vm1.trevis.hpdd.intel.com): FAILED in create_files, write in file /mnt/lustre/d0.simul/simul_read.0: No space left on device

Similar to compilebench, connectathon checks to see how much space is available on the file system and will skip the test if there is not enough space; it needs about 40 MB. From the client test log, we can see that there is free space = 10654792 KB available on the Lustre file system. From the client test log:

./test5: read and write
	./test5: (/mnt/lustre/d0.connectathon) 'bigfile' write failed : No space left on device
basic tests failed
 parallel-scale test_connectathon: @@@@@@ FAIL: connectathon failed: 1

The “bigfile” is 30 MB.

Looking in the MDS (vm4) console for this test session (https://testing.hpdd.intel.com/test_sessions/6c155f47-820d-447d-893f-15b24418827f), eventhough metabench passed, we see

Similarly, for another test that passed, mdtestfpp, in the same MDS console log:

[30552.987700] Lustre: DEBUG MARKER: == parallel-scale test mdtestfpp: mdtestfpp ========================================================== 16:53:49 (1512579229)

This failure looks similar to LU-7834 except, only test_compilebench fails.

Note: These failures are only seen on full test sessions.

The first time parallel-scale test_compilebench failed with this error and with osp_precreate_thread errors in the MDS console log was on 2017-11-22 with master build # 3672.
