Hello,On our virtualisation infrastructure we have a 4To GFS2 over a SAN. Since one or two weeks we are facing read I/O issues, 5k or 6k IOPS with an average block size of 5kB. I'm looking for the possibilities and didn't find anything yet, so my question: Is it possible that reaching over 80% use of the GFS2 can produce such workload? Regards.
If you are worried about read I/O, then I'd look carefully at the fragmentation using filefrag on a few representative files to see how they are laid out on disk. There are other possible causes of performance issues too - do you have the fs mounted noatime (which we recommend for most use cases) for example?
Running a filesystem which is close to the capacity limit can generate fragmentation over time, 80% would usually be ok, and more recent versions of GFS2 are better than older ones at avoiding fragmentation in such circumstances,
