Re: [HPDD-discuss] Large number of sync requests
by Dilger, Andreas
What does strace of the application show? The clients also keep track of sync operations:
lctl get_param {osc,mdc}.*.stats | grep sync
and also the time it takes these operations to complete. For my OSTs it is about 25ms (SATA HDD), and the MDT it is about 3ms (old SSD).
If the application is issuing a lot of sync requests, not much that can be done about it except fix the app.
Cheers, Andreas

Dear All,

I handpicked a few below from the output of “lctl get_param mdt.scratch-MDT0000.job_stats” from MDS. Strangely when I run try to get job_stats from all OSS for all OST’s I don’t see these high sync requests, rather it is 0.
My question why would I see these many sync requests, even if it is cumulative it is high for a job that runs for couple of hours at the most.
Can any body please shed some light on what I am seeing here?
Thank you,

Top 5 Reasons You CAN'T Miss LUG 2016
by OpenSFS Administration
<http://opensfs.org/events/lug-2016/>
LUSTRE USER GROUP 2016
Top 5 Reasons To Attend LUG 2016
On April 5-7th, OpenSFS is hosting the
<http://opensfs.org/events/lug-2016/> 14th annual LustreR User Group (LUG)
conference at the
<http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/oregon/hilton-portland-and-executive-tower
-PDXPHHH/index.html> Hilton Portland and Executive Tower in Portland,
Oregon! LUG 2016 will bring together industry leaders, end-users,
developers, and vendors to talk Lustre, contribute to the community, and
move the technology forward.
Here are the top 5 reasons why you should attend LUG 2016:
5 - Free Beer!
LUG wouldn't be LUG without free beer! One of the highlights of LUG is the
opportunity to catch up with old Lustre friends and make new Lustre friends.
It's even better with free beer from local Portland breweries. Join us on
Tuesday, April 6th for a networking reception with sweeping views of the
Portland skyline. And free beer.
4 - Network with Your Peers and Connect with Key Influencers
Meet and mingle with the people who "speak Lustre." LUG 2016 is your chance
to network, collaborate and share insight with developers, end-users, and
other members of the Lustre community over meals, during breaks, and at a
special evening reception.
3 - Stay Current on Feature Developments
Dynamic sessions from engineers working on features for upcoming community
releases of Lustre.
2 - Visit the City of Roses
The venue for LUG 2016 is the
<http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/oregon/hilton-portland-and-executive-tower
-PDXPHHH/index.html> Hilton Portland and Executive Tower, located in the
heart of Downtown Portland. Take in all that Portland has to offer,
including a thriving <http://www.foodcartsportland.com/maps/> food cart
scene, <http://www.travelportland.com/article/portland-breweries/> over 60
craft breweries in the city limits, and much
<http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g52024-Activities-Portland_Oregon.ht
ml> more!
1 - High Bandwidth, Low Latency Connections to Lustre Developers, Admins,
and Users
Prior attendees know that LUG is a firehouse of Lustre information. Get
caught up on what's going on with Lustre, talk with others about Lustre
challenges you are facing, understand how others are using Lustre, and
what's coming down the road.
Lustre Developer Day

Large number of sync requests

Dear All,
