Hi, I've had a few incidents over the last week where GlusterFS NFS server started using 400% CPU, and the Gluster server went to a load of 29. I couldn't figure out the issue, but a system reset fixed it. This server has been in production since 3.3.0 came out.
Yesterday, I may have fixed it (only time will tell). Gluster is server an mdadm RAID-6 array formatted as XFS. Yesterday, when the CPU spiked, I had atop running already and it was showing 2 drives in the RAID-6 array as having 50-70 ms seek times (sdc and sdd). The other drives in the array were the regular 2-3 ms. Removing only one drive from the RAID (sdc) brought the seek times of sdd back to normal, and Gluster recovered. This is a little off topic for Gluster, but has anybody seen this situation before? Am I looking at a single bad drive that brought down another drive on the same controller, or am I looking at a bad controller. Or what?
