Jailed periodic daily scripts smashing CPU

2017-02-16 Thread Dustin Wenz
I have a number of servers with roughly 60 jails running on each of them. On these hosts, I've had to disable the periodic security scans due to overly high disk load when they run (which is redundant in jails anyway). However, I still have an issue at 3:01am where the CPU is consumed by dozens

Are you by chance using the ARC patch from this PR? https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187594 Do you have a vfs.zfs.dynamic_write_buffer tunable defined, if so, what is it set to? - .Dustin > On Dec 9, 2015, at 3:51 AM, Alexander Leidinger > wrote: > > On Wed, 09 Dec

Periodic jobs triggering panics in 10.1 and 10.2

2015-12-08 Thread Dustin Wenz
scheduled processes start, because all jails execute the same scripts at the same time. I've been able to alleviate this problem by disabling the security scans within the jails, but leave it enabled on the root host. If this is not a known issue in FreeBSD 10.2, I'll file a PR

Re: Question about "pcpu" rctl

As far as I know, pcpu has never worked for limiting beyond a single core. I submitted a patch for kern/kern_racct.c that should fix it: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189870 Please update the bug if it does or doesn't resolve the issue. Maybe that will prompt a committer to

I/O hanging while hosting Postgres database

2013-02-06 Thread Dustin Wenz
I'm seeing a condition on FreeBSD 9.1 (built October 24th) where I/O seems to hang on any local zpools after several hours of hosting a large-ish Postgres database. The database occupies about 14TB of a 38TB zpool with a single SSD ZIL. The OS is on a ZFS boot disk. The system also has 24GB of p

Can MPS discard a misbehaving disk?

2012-04-24 Thread Dustin Wenz
I am having trouble with MPS becoming unresponsive in certain disk failure conditions. So far, I've experienced this with 3TB Hitachi disks (0S03208) and 3TB Seagate Barracuda disks (ST3000DM001, firmware CC9D) while using the MPS driver with an LSI SAS2116 controller on FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE. In

2011-03-11 Thread Dustin Wenz
Thanks; It's good to know that it's at least possible to make this work in some instances. Unfortunately, our SAS2008 controller is integrated with the logic board (a SuperMicro X8DT6) connected to a SAS-113TQ backplane. It's not so much of an expander; there are two breakout cables that go fro

LSI SAS2008 performance with mps(4) driver

2011-03-10 Thread Dustin Wenz
I'm running a build of the mps(4) driver on FreeBSD 8.2 with an LSI SAS2008 bus adapter. The code I'm using was current as of the last commit on 2011-02-25, and is built for amd64. I can't seem to get any better performance than about 250MB/s writes through the controller. I'm testing with a z
