[CentOS] Kerberized NFS client and slow user write performance
We seem to be increasingly hit by this bug: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2040223 "On RHEL 6 NFS client usring kerberos (krb5), one user experiences slow write performance, another does not" You need a RH subscription to see that in its entirety. But the subject basically says it all: randomly, one or more users will be subjected to *terrible* NFS write performance that persists until reboot. There is a root cause shown, but that is cryptic to non-kernel devs; it doesn't explain from a user perspective what triggers this state. (That's why it appears to be random to me.) There is no solution or workaround given. This appears to be on a per-user + per-server basis, so a crude workaround is to migrate the user to a different server. And we do regular reboots, which somewhat hides the problem. My question to the list: has anyone else dealt with this? The link says "Solution in Progress", but that was last updated nearly a year ago. We don't have any support contracts with upstream, just the website access subscription, so I doubt RH will offer any help. Appreciate any suggestions!

These are file triggers, they trigger scripts to run when specific files are added or removed from the system when packages are (un)installed. See here: http://www.rpm.org/wiki/FileTriggers Whilst RHEL's version of RPM doesn't support file triggers, it does support package triggers, so maybe you could devise a workaround with those: http://rpm.org/api/4.4.2.2/triggers.html Okay it looks like what is happening is the triggers are used when plugins are installed, and the CentOS 7 way is to run those triggers in the post/pre scriptlets of the packages that have the plugins. Yes, that is the preferred method and is OK as long as you also have packaging control over the packages that provide the plugins. The point of the file triggers is for when that is not the case. Generally, triggers should be used sparingly (as a last resort) as they have a tendency to complicate matters rather than simplify, and thus make troubleshooting issues much harder. For example, you package some software that needs to do something every time the kernel is updated. You don't have control over the kernel package, so you use a trigger in your own package - either a package trigger if the action needs to be performed every time the kernel package is (un)installed/updated, or a file trigger if it's when a specific file is (un)installed/updated. The reason it makes things hard to troubleshoot is that, using the example above, the kernel is updated and that triggers your script in package Foo and something goes wrong. You've narrowed it down to happening every time you update the kernel package so naturally you now spend an age going through the kernel SPEC file trying to find the cause but of course you are looking in the wrong place and will never find it. Probably better to have the file trigger conceptually, less chance for scriptlet bugs, but CentOS 8 will come soon enough I suppose ;) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
