Hi! Top output now , but it seems pretty much with when the cp was running.
10:15am up 1 day, 5:31, 3 users, load average: 0.26, 0.14, 0.18 119 processes: 118 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU0 states: 1.1% user, 0.4% system, 0.0% nice, 97.5% idle CPU1 states: 0.1% user, 6.2% system, 0.0% nice, 93.1% idle CPU2 states: 3.3% user, 1.1% system, 0.0% nice, 94.5% idle CPU3 states: 3.1% user, 0.4% system, 0.0% nice, 95.4% idle Mem: 2059460K av, 2030384K used, 29076K free, 0K shrd, 9324K buff Swap: 2048136K av, 80728K used, 1967408K free 1834288K cached Free output: [root@dtmart /etc]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2059460 2026156 33304 0 9404 1839800 -/+ buffers/cache: 176952 1882508 Swap: 2048136 80284 1967852 The only way to increase swap space now is creating swap files, isnīt ? Do you know if this will be a good ideia ? thanks again -----Mensagem original----- De: David T-G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviada em: terįa-feira, 31 de dezembro de 2002 10:15 Para: FileUtils bugs Cc: Borges, Jenner Gigante (BR-Paulista Seguros) Assunto: Re: RES: RES: Bug on cp Jenner -- ...and then Borges, Jenner Gigante (BR-Paulista Seguros) said... % % Hello David! Hi again! % I have RAID 0+1. OK... % How can I see the inodes and increase them ? Hmmm... I forget for ext2, but it is probably in the mount or mkfs or tunefs commands. Check your man pages. I don't think you can increase inodes without destroying and recreating the filesystem :-( % Yes, I am going from ext2 to ext2. OK. % Last night I follow the steps from backup and I think because we didnīt run % a update procedure , the datafiles were not accessed and the backup finished % succesfull, but the messages : Hmmm... % Dec 31 01:00:22 dtmart kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed. % Dec 31 01:00:40 dtmart last message repeated 826 times % Dec 31 01:00:40 dtmart kernel: failed. That can't be good! I forgot to ask: how much RAM and swap do you have in the system, and what does top say? I searched google for 'kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed' and found numerous mailing list post, most relating to bigmem. I think that we can safely say that this is not a problem for cp. % % still appear on my /var/log/messages. % During the cp process the top command showed me that the kswapd and bdflush % and % cp were consuming a lot of CPU. Makes sense; you were shoveling a lot of data through the system. % % Do you know if my kernel parameters were well tuned for these copy process ? % % # Disables packet forwarding % net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 % # Enables source route verification % net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1 % # Disables the magic-sysrq key % kernel.sysrq = 0 % * Shared and Semaphores Parameters % kernel.shmmax=2059460000 % kernel.shmall=2059460000 % kernel.shmmni=100 % kernel.shmseg=20 % kernel.shmmin=1 % kernel.semmni=500 % kernel.semmns=1500 % kernel.semmsl=200 I'm not absolutely sure, but all of the shared memory and semaphore settings are just going to be for ordinary DB processes and not pertinent to a cp like this. I don't think that there are any knobs to bump up disk-to-disk performance, like maybe a buffer allocation size; I think that the system handles that on its own based on what resources it has. % % Thanks again and happy new year !!!
