<p class=MsoNormal>Hello all. First, I’d like to thank the developers for
a great filesystem, we use it in production every day serving web pages for a
site doing up to 400mbit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’re recently running into troubles, however, (switched
to the latest ocfs2-tools, latest kernel available at time of writing, 2.6.22).
We use gentoo, so that makes it a little easier to use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our problem is this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Mostly anytime a file is modified live on the ocfs2 volume,
the 2 other nodes (also running apache), begin to get high load averages, and
the site goes down, until all but node1 are rebooted. It seems there is some
sort of locking contention? Also, if uploads are being done (via vsftpd) to the
volume, the same behavior occurs, and no nodes are able to take out new locks.
What could be causing this problem? It’s becoming an issue, as it takes
the whole website down.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Michael<o:p></o:p></p>
