Maybe removing the 2TByte file takes longer than 30 seconds on ext3, so client times out. It would be useful to know when the server first succeeds. Maybe some tuning on client side to catch the case where on retry the objects aren't there?

I’m seeing an issue when removing large files from a PVFS2 file syst em. My example setup is a 12 node PVFS2 file system with 2.2TB EXT3 SAN mounts to each pvfs2 server. The server is configured for 30 sec ond timeouts and 5 retries. We really don’t want to change the timeo ut values and retries if possible.



There is a 2TB file that exists. When the client tries to ‘rm’ the 2TB file, the client basically goes through the 30 second timeou t and exhausts the retries and then reports back to the command line “Invalid Argument”. From everything I can tell, the file *really* gets deleted and doesn’t show up in a directory listing.



I’ve included the client command line results and the log messages f rom the delete below



bash-2.05b$ rm cmsdb_silo_mstr_20080606a

rm: cannot remove `cmsdb_silo_mstr_20080606a': Invalid argument
