All, We recently completed a SRS5 upgrade which included new hardware, SUN M3000 systems which is a major improvement over v240s. In the past we had around 20-40 users on each v240 since the M3k's are much faster we are running about 100-120 users per machine now. Often times I seen system load spikes upward to 800+, looking at top during this extreme load level the gnome-vfs-daemon processes seems to be causing this spike in load.
After much research I have located several bugs( I realize that these bugs are very old) that document a problem in which the gnome-vfs-daemon is a bit too aggressive in its updates. Please see documents linked below for additional information on this issue: http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/dtracing_on_the_train_gnome http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6821951 http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-1-6821951-1 Even after setting the value to 60seconds I still see load spikes sporadically throughout the day. Has anyone attempted to disable gnome-vfs-daemon altogether? Is this possible? What are the drawbacks in an environment where the majority of users access filesystems via CLI? Lastly, has anyone enabled Solaris Resource Management on a Sunray server? Is this recommended by Oracle/SUN? With the number users we have per server it would nice if we could prevent users from abusing our Sunray servers. Thanks. -Marc Juarez
