@Sunil So could you recommand generally mount options to set? At the moment i've set none. So is it always a good idea (don't need atime) to set data=writeback,noatime,nodiratime any other options? Stefan > Did you set the mount option on both nodes or only on the node > on which you were doin

Yes, I have the mount options the same on both nodes. Am I understanding you correctly in that, this is normal behaviour because node2 is forcing the journal commit? If so that is fine, I just need to know so I can stop searching for options. I REALLY appreciate your looking at this. Thank you

Did you set the mount option on both nodes or only on the node on which you were doing the ls? Setting it on both nodes, or on the node that is doing the cp should solve the perf issue. What's happening is that the ls on node2 is forcing node1 to journal commit. With the ordered data journal mode

Yes, I am finding that if I do the large file copy on node1 and do an ls -l on node1 it is very fast as expected. If I do the large file copy on node1 and do an ls -l on node2 ls -l is showing multi second times. 5+ seconds at least. If I do a file listing on any other file it is fast regardless

Writeback will help if the writes are on one node and the ls on another. It is not clear if that is the case or not. If both ops are on the same node, then it just could be the disk is slow. The times shows almost all wall time. Very little sys and no user. top will show io wait times. On 05/24/2

Hello list. Apologies in advance, this may be a bit long. Just trying to give as much info as I can at the outset. I have a two node setup that share a 500Gig SAS drive via ocfs2. When I move either large files 300Megs+ or a large number of smaller files onto or off of the volume, my terminal s
