Public bug reported: When performing a large write to a NFS share, then all other I/O operations towards this share is hung/slowed down until the large write operation is completed. In 20.04 this seems to be fixed. In 16.04 this was terrible and all other I/O operations was hung until the write had completed, in 18.04 this was slightly better, but still all I/O operations were slowed down significantly.
Is this a known issue? Would it be possible to backport whatever was changed between 18.04 and 20.04 to get the same fix in 18.04? Example on how this is on 18.04: # echo "baseline test - no write operation currently" baseline test - no write operation currently # time ls ... <directory listing omitted> real 0m0.009s user 0m0.005s sys 0m0.001s # dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1M count=10000 & [1] 15489 # echo "write operation" write operation # time ls ... <directory listing omitted> real 1m28.947s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.970s # 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB, 9.8 GiB) copied, 90.6114 s, 116 MB/s [1]+ Done dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1M count=10000 Here is the output from the 'mount'-command: type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=10.102.150.10,local_lock=none,addr=10.102.150.35) With 20.04 this seems to be working just fine. ** Affects: nfs-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878605 Title: Slow performance during large writes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1878605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
