I have a similar blocking/hanging/stall issue. On Oracle 6.2/x64. We are running OCFS2 on 3 partitions about 14-15TB each. One of the partitions has been running extremely slowly too. They are running on the same hardware-- LSI HW Raid Cards and Enterprise Drives. I am running over drbd and nfsd.
I am getting really slow performance in writes. The process [jbd2-drbd-18] seems to be stuck for a long length of time (about 2 minutes) before it finally commits. This jbd2-drbd2 prevents any other writes from happening which stalls the system. This would be from "ps auxr" USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 6374 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D Apr03 0:28 [jbd2/drbd2-18] root 6876 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D Apr06 0:11 [nfsd] root 6884 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D Apr06 0:09 [nfsd] root 6999 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D Apr06 0:45 [nfsd] root 7046 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D Apr06 0:09 [nfsd] root 7053 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D Apr06 0:09 [nfsd] root 7054 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D Apr06 0:08 [nfsd] Running "scan_locks2" shows nothing. Nothing is held up locking wise. It seems to happen more with files copying about 1MB or larger. It only happens for me on my second partition, but not the other 2. It seems to super slow in writes. Reads are fast. I hope to find a solution quickly too. I wonder it is because we have very large partitions.
