Dear list, I have installed a new fileserver, running Gentoo Linux, kernel 3.8.13, OpenAFS 1.6.5 (also tried 1.6.6). The server has two /vicep partitions, each with an XFS filesystem: * ~800GB /vicepa on the system disk - mdadm mirror with two SATA disks * 24TB /vicepb on an external RAID system, connected via iSCSI
Moves to the /vicepa partitions work as expected. Moves to the /vicepb start, but after some time (usually 10-20sec) there is no progress anymore: - no disk i/o - package counters (vos status/rxdebug) stay constant forever - transactions do not time out within 3-4 days Other fileserver/volserver operations on other volumes seem to be unaffected. Also, access to the iSCSI partition from the OS is still possible, there are no disk/iSCSI problems reported. When I try to stop the move operation manually or when bos tries to execute the configured weekly server restart, there are volserver threads that do not respond to any signal. In that situation, I also can not use bos to restart/shutdown the fileserver anymore. The volserver threads keep files on /vicepb open, forcing an unclean shutdown or reboot of the entire server. Has anyone seen similar problems before? Does anyone have suggestions what I could try to debug the problem?
