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

tarball for ganglia-3.0.3
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".

Just tested building and running on Fedora Core 4 x86, everything
checks out (minimal installation test) - did notice this minor issue
though:
Gmetad Web Frontend version 3.0.3 Check for Updates.
Gmetad Web Backend (gmetad) version 3.0.3.200604102000 Check for
Updates.
Notice the versions are different between webfrontend and gmetad - I
guess they use difference sources for the version string?
Chris, are you still planning to help us test with your hardware?
Thanks,
Bernard
P.S. If anybody wants the RPMs, please ping me.

Hi,
as promised, I have created a new pre-3.0.3 tarball. It can be
downloaded from:
http://www.knobisoft.de/ganglia/ganglia-3.0.3.200604080900.tar.gz
Due to the release plans for OSCAR5, this could be the last snaphot
before a release next week.
Especially the following problems are supposed to be solved:
- truncated XML
- bogus "old protocol" messages in dead-host detection
- gmetad will not stop updating RRDs after a previous failure
- apr-0.9.7 is now officially in CVS
- minor fixes to the webfrontend
- more minor stuff -> See the ChangeLog
Cheers
Martin
