Hi all,
Is there any good solution to find out which user is loading the NFS
the most in a cluster configuration?
Basically, a bunch of nodes are hooked up to an NFS server, and when
somebody forgets to use the local scratch space for a job, the system
slows down to a crawl.
So figuring out who is doing that would be extremely helpful.
Thanks!

If you install e.g. xmlsysd/wulfstat/wulflogger (the former on the
nodes, the latter on a monitor machine) you can probably find out by
monitoring a mix of job and network traffic per node, especially if the
nodes are typically used for grid-like applications that don't generate
a lot of network traffic. The easiest way to get an idea of what/who to
look for is to run "lsof -N" on the nodes to see what NSF based files
are open on the node. Note that you'll likely need to do more --
monitor likely looking files directly for being modified in association
with active process and burst of network traffic -- to really run this
down.
