HI all,
We continue to have gfs2 crashes and hangs on our production
cluster, so I'm beginning to think that we've done something really
wrong. Here is our set-up:
* 4 node cluster, only 3 participate in gfs2 filesystems
* Running several services on multiple nodes using gfs2:
o IMAP (dovecot)
o Web (apache with lots of python)
o Samba (using ctdb)
* GFS2 partitions are multipathed on an HP EVA-based SAN (no LVM) --
here is fstab from one node (the three nodes are all the same):
LABEL=/1 / ext3
defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3
defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs
defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts
gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs
defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc
defaults 0 0
LABEL=SW-cciss/c0d0p2 swap swap

* Kernel version is: 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 and all nodes are x86_64.
* What's happening is every so often, we start seeing gfs2-related
task hangs in the logs. In the last instance (last Friday) we've
got this:

* Various messages related to hung_task_timeouts repeated on each
node (usually related to imap).
* Within a minute or two, the cluster was completely hung. Root
could log into the console, but commands (like dmesg) would just hang.
So, my major question: is there something wrong with my configuration?
Have we done something really stupid? The initial response from RedHat
was that we shouldn't run services on multiple nodes that access gfs2,
which seems a little confusing since we would use ext3 or ext4 if we
were going to node lock (or failover) the partitions. Have we missed
something somewhere?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give. We're getting pretty
desperate here since the downtime is starting to have a significant
impact on our credibility.
