[Bug 906686] nfs4: lots of processes end in D state when using nfs4
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=906686 Neil Brown <nfbrown@suse.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flags| |needinfo?(mpluskal@suse.com | |) --- Comment #7 from Neil Brown <nfbrown@suse.com> --- I tried running trinity. I do get lots of processes stuck in 'D' state with symptoms similar to what you report, but it always clears eventually. Looking in /proc/meminfo, Writeback is high and slowly decreases. Once it gets lot, everything starts moving again. This is quite normal for NFS. If you write fast than the connection to the NFS server will allow (and trinity writes quite a lot to the log files), it will block from time to time while data flushes out. However long did it remain blocked for - do you remember? If you can conveniently run it again, can you check Writeback in /proc/meminfo when it locks up and see if it is decreasing, and what happens when it reaches a small number? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
