Ubuntu 12.04.1 + xfs + syncfs is still not our friend

Ubuntu 12.04.1 + xfs + syncfs is still not our friend

[Oliver Francke]

Hi *,

anybody out there who's in Ubuntu 12.04.1/ in connection with libc + xfs 
+ syncfs?

We bit the bullet and reinstalled two new nodes from debian to precise 
in favour of possible performance increase?!

*sigh*, still getting:

2012-11-06 17:05:51.863921 7f5cc52e3780  0 filestore(/data/osd6-3) mount 
syncfs(2) syscall not support by glibc
2012-11-06 17:05:51.863925 7f5cc52e3780  0 filestore(/data/osd6-3) mount 
no syncfs(2), must use sync(2).

as a show-stopper.

That's with 3.2.* and 3.6.6 kernel. Should be new enough. And 
ceph-0.48.2 ( eu.ceph.com mirror was installing 0.48.1.. though *ops* ;) )

But both should be capable of this system-call?!

We've been so very near... but now clueless, please sched some light in 8-)

( I hope this is not a very obvious human RTFM error ;) )

And so I'm writing, should one enable directio + aio, as we're having 
the journals on a SSD-partition?

Kind regards,

Oliver.

syncfs is only available since glibc 2.14 (and kernel 2.6.39)

Could you please try to run "ldd --version" and test if "man syncfs"
is working ?

Here is the output:

ldd --version
ldd (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.15-0ubuntu10.3) 2.15

After installing manpages-dev i get the man page for syncfs (with  "man
syncfs")

Distribution is a normal Ubuntu 12.04.1

Hi Jens,

sorry for the double work… answered off-list already ;)

[Dan Mick]

Resolution: installing the packages built for precise, rather than 
squeeze, got versions that use syncfs.

Which packages, ceph or libc?
Do you see any performance improvements?

The ceph packages.
