I would like to mention another symptom: some directory show odd statistics in the size field (too field) although their content in number of objects is rather small.

By the way, is it possible to see the filesystem  getting disorganized due an intensive destruction/creation activity. Are there tools to measure it?  Are there tool to reorganize?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

We are experiencing a serious problem with a 1TB filesystem under RH3 kernel 2.4.21-27 on a Bi-xeon DELL PE1750. The disks are HDS 9570V with Qlogic 2312 FC attach.

After slowdown due to excessive IOWAIT and enless  ls commands  in a 560000   inode directory (I know this may sound not reasonable!) ,

 we have done a jfs_fsck who simply destroyed the directory to put it in lost+found.

We are currently restoring it from backups.

Do you think that a bug in JFS could be in cause?

The file system was created in jfs 1.1.2 and we are currently running jfs 1.1.10

Any hint would help.

Thanks.
