Hi Eric Looks like your assumption is correct - no negative values from “mmfsadm eventsExporter mmpmon vfss”. I don’t normally view these via “mmfsadm”, I use the zimon stats. But, It’s a bug that should be fixed.
What’s the best way to get this fixed? root@cnt-r01r07u15 ~]# mmfsadm eventsExporter mmpmon vfss _response_ begin mmpmon vfss _mmpmon::vfss_ _n_ 10.30.100.193 _nn_ cnt-r01r07u15 _rc_ 0 _t_ 1492647309 _tu_ 311964 _access_ 8472897 56529.874886 _close_ 1460223848 49854.938090 _create_ 2101927 155055.515041 _fclear_ 0 0.000000 _fsync_ 20 0.024288 _fsync_range_ 0 0.000000 _ftrunc_ 0 0.000000 _getattr_ 859626332 101183.720281 _link_ 2175473 625.343799 _lockctl_ 17326 5.229828 _lookup_ 200378610 1201985.264220 _map_lloff_ 220854519 8561.860515 _mkdir_ 817943 217390.170859 _mknod_ 3 0.001422 _open_ 1460217712 134812.649162 _read_ 3883163461 3971457.463527 _write_ 186078410 137927.496812 _mmapRead_ 17108947 10665.929860 _mmapWrite_ 0 0.000000 _aioRead_ 0 0.000000 _aioWrite_ 0 0.000000 _readdir_ 142262897 6999.189450 _readlink_ 485337171 2111.634286 _readpage_ 3646233600 14346.331414 _remove_ 4241324 93277.463798 _rename_ 350679 19334.235924 _rmdir_ 342042 2736.048976 _setacl_ 0 0.000000 _setattr_ 3709289 16963.901179 _symlink_ 161336 8522.670079 _unmap_ 3929805828 1735.740690 _writepage_ 0 0.000000 _tsfattr_ 0 0.000000 _tsfsattr_ 0 0.000000 _flock_ 0 0.000000 _setxattr_ 119 0.001042 _getxattr_ 4077218348 628418.213008 _listxattr_ 0 0.000000 _removexattr_ 15 0.000042 _encode_fh_ 0 0.000000 _decode_fh_ 0 0.000000 _get_dentry_ 0 0.000000 _get_parent_ 0 0.000000 _mount_ 0 0.000000 _statfs_ 2625497 214.309671 _sync_ 0 0.000000 _vget_ 0 0.000000 _response_ end Bob Oesterlin Sr Principal Storage Engineer, Nuance 507-269-0413 From: <[email protected]> on behalf of IBM Spectrum Scale <[email protected]> Reply-To: gpfsug main discussion list <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, April 19, 2017 at 7:10 PM To: gpfsug main discussion list <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [gpfsug-discuss] mmfsadm dump vfsstats - negative values Bob, I also noticed this recently. I think it may be a simple matter of a printf()-like statement in the code that handles "mmfsadm vfsstats" using an incorrect conversion specifier --- one that treats the counter as signed instead of unsigned and treats the counter as being smaller than it really is. To help confirm that hypothesis, could you please run the following commands on the node, at the same time, so the output can be compared: # mmfsadm vfsstats # mmfsadm eventsExporter mmpmon vfss I believe the code that handles "mmfsadm eventsExporter mmpmon vfss" uses the correct printf()-like conversion specifier. So, it should so good numbers where "mmfsadm vfsstats" shows negative numbers.
