Lustre and kernel buffer interaction
by John Bauer
I have been trying to understand a behavior I am observing in an IOR
benchmark on Lustre. I have pared it down to a simple example.
The IOR benchmark is running in MPI mode. There are 2 ranks, each
running on its own node. Each rank does the following:
Note : Test was run on the "swan" cluster at Cray Inc., using /lus/scratch
write a file. ( 10GB )
fsync the file
close the file
MPI_barrier
open the file that was written by the other rank.
read the file that was written by the other rank.
close the file that was written by the other rank.
The writing of each file goes as expected.
The fsync takes very little time ( about .05 seconds).
The first reads of the file( written by the other rank ) start out *very
*slowly. While theses first reads are proceeding slowly, the
kernel's cached memory ( the Cached: line in /proc/meminfo) decreases
from the size of the file just written to nearly zero.
Once the cached memory has reached nearly zero, the file reading
proceeds as expected.
I have attached a jpg of the instrumentation of the processes that
illustrates this behavior.
My questions are:
Why does the reading of the file, written by the other rank, wait until
the cached data drains to nearly zero before proceeding normally.
Shouldn't the fsync ensure that the file's data is written to the
backing storage so this draining of the cached memory should be simply
releasing pages with no further I/O?
For this case the "dead" time is only about 4 seconds, but this "dead"
time scales directly with the size of the files.

quotas on 2.4.3
by Matt Bettinger
Hello,
We have a fresh 2.4.3 lustre upgrade that is not yet put into
production running on rhel 6.4.
We would like to take a look at quotas but looks like there is some
major performance problems with 1.8.9 clients.
Here is how I enabled quotas
[root@lfs-mds-0-0 ~]# lctl conf_param lustre2.quota.mdt=ug
[root@lfs-mds-0-0 ~]# lctl conf_param lustre2.quota.ost=ug
[root@lfs-mds-0-0 ~]# lctl get_param osd-*.*.quota_slave.info
osd-ldiskfs.lustre2-MDT0000.quota_slave.info=
target name: lustre2-MDT0000
pool ID: 0
type: md
quota enabled: ug
conn to master: setup
space acct: ug
user uptodate: glb[1],slv[1],reint[0]
group uptodate: glb[1],slv[1],reint[0]
The quotas seem to be working however the write performance from
1.8.9wc client to 2.4.3 with quotas on is horrific. Am I not setting
quotas up correctly?
I try to make a simple user quota on /lustre2/mattb/300MB_QUOTA directory
[root@hous0036 mattb]# lfs setquota -u l0363734 -b 307200 -B 309200 -i
10000 -I 11000 /lustre2/mattb/300MB_QUOTA/
See quota change is in effect...
[root@hous0036 mattb]# lfs quota -u l0363734 /lustre2/mattb/300MB_QUOTA/
Disk quotas for user l0363734 (uid 1378):
Filesystem kbytes quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/lustre2/mattb/300MB_QUOTA/
310292* 307200 309200 - 4 10000 11000 -
Try and write to quota directory as the user but get horrible write speed
[l0363734@hous0036 300MB_QUOTA]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=301MB_FILE bs=1M count=301
301+0 records in
301+0 records out
315621376 bytes (316 MB) copied, 61.7426 seconds, 5.1 MB/s
Try file number 2 and then quota take effect, so it seems.
[l0363734@hous0036 300MB_QUOTA]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=301MB_FILE2 bs=1M count=301
dd: writing `301MB_FILE2': Disk quota exceeded
dd: closing output file `301MB_FILE2': Input/output error
If I disable quotas using
[root@lfs-mds-0-0 ~]# lctl conf_param lustre2.quota.mdt=none
[root@lfs-mds-0-0 ~]# lctl conf_param lustre2.quota.oss=none
Then try and write the same file the speeds are more like we expect
but then can't use quotas.
[l0363734@hous0036 300MB_QUOTA]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=301MB_FILE2 bs=1M count=301
301+0 records in
301+0 records out
315621376 bytes (316 MB) copied, 0.965009 seconds, 327 MB/s
[l0363734@hous0036 300MB_QUOTA]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=301MB_FILE2 bs=1M count=301
I have not tried this with a 2.4 client, yet since all of our nodes
are 1.8.X until we rebuild our images.
I was going by the manual on
http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-manual/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact...
but it looks like I am running into interoperability issue (which I
thought I fixed by using 1.8.9-wc client) or just not configuring
this correctly.
Thanks!

New liblustreapi ?
by Simmons, James A.
Now that lustre 2.7 is coming up soon I like to open the discussion
on one of the directions we could go. Recently several projects have sprung
up that impact liblustreapi. During one of those discussion the idea of a new
liblustreapi was brought up. A liblustreapi 2.0 you could say. So I like to
get feel in the community about this. If people want this proposal I like to
recommend that we gradually build this new library along side the original
liblustreapi and link it when necessary to the lustre utilities. First I
like the discussion of using the LGPL license with this new library. I look
forward to the feed back.

Moving the MDT performing File-level backups
by Ramiro Alba
Hello everybody,
I am currently using Lustre 1.8.5 at servers, with a SLES kernel
(2.6.32.19-0.2.1-lustre.1.8.5).
Before this year is over, I'll upgrade to the current Lustre Maintenance
release
(currently 2.4.X), but now I need to arrange a MDT moving, to other LUN
in the MDS.
I did a test on a MDT LVM snapshot, following the moving procedure
described bellow, but I
found some issues I would like to comment:
1) The backup using the tar command took very long time (20 hours),
though the
MDT is quite small (197 MB). So long?
2) The restored 'ldiskfs' file system is a bit smaller than the original
one (about 20 MB
using du -sm). Should I worry?
3) When backing up Extended attributes with the command 'getfattr' I get
some errors of
the type:
getfattr: ./ROOT/<file path>: No such file or directory
I could see that they are symbolic links using absolute paths. Can
that be a problem?
Finally, I got the bellow procedure from the 1.8.X Lustre manual. Any
comment?
**************************************************************
MDT MOVING PROCEDURE
**************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------
- Backup procedure
----------------------------------------------------------
1) Mount lustre as 'ldiskfs' type
mount -t ldiskfs /dev/sdb /lustre/mds
2) Change to the file system mount point
cd /lustre/mds
3) Backup all the file system data
tar cSf /backup/mds.tar .
4) Backup Extended Attributes
getfattr -R -d -m '.*' -P . > /backup/ea.bak
5) Umount the file system
cd
umount /lustre/mds
----------------------------------------------------------
- Restore procedure
----------------------------------------------------------
1) Make a receiving lustre MDT
mkfs.lustre --fsname=jffstg --param mdt.quota_type=ug \
--reformat --mdt --mgs /dev/sdc
2) Mount lustre as 'ldiskfs' type
mount -t ldiskfs /dev/sdc /lustre/mds
3) Change to the file system mount point
cd /lustre/mds
4) Restore the previous tar file
tar xpSf /backup/mds.tar
5) Restore de file system Extended Attributes
setfattr --restore=/backup/ea.bak
6) Remove the recovery logs
rm OBJECTS/* CATALOGS

Re: [HPDD-discuss] [Lustre-discuss] Lustre ZFS Snapshot
by Dilger, Andreas
On 2014/06/29, 1:24 PM, "Indivar Nair" <indivar.nair(a)techterra.in<mailto:indivar.nair@techterra.in>> wrote:
Referring to https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LUDOC-161
The idea is to be able to backup and restore individual files / directories to another non-Lustre storage OR tape drive...
Well, the idea of LUDOC-161 is not to backup and restore individual files, but backup and restore of the whole MDT or OST.
So, can one mount the MDT and OST snapshots to form a parallel Lustre Volume (on the same cluster) and take a point-in-time backup / rsync of the complete Lustre filesystem?
In theory yes, but this isn't yet supported. The problem is that the Lustre filesystem name is the same between the snapshots, so the snapshot filesystem cannot be mounted on the same clients as the original filesystem.
The device-level backup/zfs send/recv, especially of the MDT, is mostly intended for disaster recovery, though with ZFS it may also be practical to use it in the manner you are proposing.
If not, can one mount a copy of MDT and OST snapshots on another Lustre cluster to recreate the complete Lustre Volume?
It would be OK to mount it on separate clients.
If you want to do file-level restore it may be better to do file-level backup from the mounted filesystem.
Cheers, Andreas

crash in 2.5.1
by Jerry Natowitz
Hello,
We recently built Lustre 2.5.1 with kernel 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6 for CentOS-6.5 We have been getting these crashes whenever we try to run mkfs.lustre
In the crash material you will notice that we are running mkfs.lustre.bin - this was done so we could first gather the full command lines. The open files, which are not on Lustre, seem to be getting corrupted on crash.
I have already applied the patch associated with LU4778, but it does nopt seem to have changed anything.

lustre context switching
by Michael Di Domenico
i'm seeing very high load numbers on my OST's during heavy write
operations. i believe this is being caused by the ko2iblnd process
and my infinipath cards. (as evidenced by 20k+ context
switching/interrupt numbers). while this doesn't seem to be a problem
per-se, i'd like to know if there is anything I can do to lower those
numbers.
i've not done any tuning so far;
lustre 2.4.3 on rhel 6.4 x86_64, whamcloud rpm's
infinipath qdr cards client/server using rhel 6.4 bundled ofed

exporting a lustre FS as NFS
by E.S. Rosenberg
In the interest of easy data access from computers that are not part of the
cluster we would like to export the lustre filesystem as NFS from one of
the nodes.
>From what I understood this should be possible but so far we are getting
kernel panics.
So:
- Has anyone done it?
- What are the pitfalls?
- Any other useful tips?
Tech details:
Lustre: 2.4.3
Kernel: 3.14.3 + aufs
Distro: Debian testing/sid
We will probably be upgrading to lustre 2.5.x in the near future.
Thanks,
Eli

bug LU-2455 (lctl ping timeout)
by Michael Di Domenico
Before I attempt to mount lustre through scripts, i usually do a lctl
ping to check for connectivity. i've noticed this lag in ping timeout
before. Can anyone tell me if there is a workaround? Or is there a
better way to check the state before I actually attempt a mount?
