             Bug #: 36993
           Summary: Labs cluster dies daily at roughly 6:30 UTC
           Product: Wikimedia Labs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


Everyday, all instances hosted on WMFLabs are made barely accessible from
roughly 6:30am for about an hour. The symptoms are:
* very high load reported in ganglia for most instances
* ssh client reaching timeout
* `ls -l` being 
This is known to be related to I/O and how GlusterFS seems to be lacking in
that area.

Regardless of GlusterFS, Ubuntu has a default daily cron set up at 6:25 UTC.
Which also means that all instances start rotating or processing their logs at
the same exact time.


There must be a cronjob on some of the instances that uses too much I/O. We
would need some metrics in Ganglia about disk usage to find it out.
