Hi Gil:
 
I guess what would be helpful to troubleshoot this, is figure out what 
directories failed to create and why - that would probably help us figure out 
the problem.
 
BTW, can you also test to see if a smaller setup has the same issue?
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

Subject: Re: [Ganglia-developers] RE: [Ganglia-general] New (final?) tarball 
for ganglia-3.0.3


I'm actually seeing 100% disk busy under both rhel4 and freebsd 4.11 with just 
98 nodes in 13 clusters.   My goal is to get gmetad running on freebsd, rhel4 
was just for comparision's sake.  A ktrace reveals 100s of failed mkdirs during 
every writing period - traceable to rrd_helpers.c.  There don't seem to be any 
other significant events.  When the disk hits 100% iowait the system is 
unusable.

I was under the impression that a relatively low powered system could handle 
something like this configuration - perhaps that is the issue?  The box is a 
PIII 800 with 1.5 GB mem - the rrds are stored on a dedicated 70 GB ide disk.

Any insight would be appreciated.  I'm hanging out in #ganglia on freenode if 
anyone wants to chat.

Thank you,

Gil

Hi Martin:
 
Finally had the time to test it, here's the text in the webpage now:

Gmetad Web Frontend version 3.0.3.200604132304 Check for Updates.
Gmetad Web Backend (gmetad) version 3.0.3.200604102000 Check for Updates.
 
Looks like it's fixed.
 
BTW, I tested Ganglia on Fedora Core 5 x86 and it is working fine.
 
Did anybody else test 3.0.3?  Somebody on IRC mentioned that he was having 
issues with gmetad using up 99% CPU with a large number of clients (50+).
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

Bernard,

 could you please test the following patch in "web" to solve this
really really big problem :-) You need to run "./configure" to recreate
"web/version.php".
