I've already repaired the filesystem twice but i'm still getting these 
errors again.

Kernel: Vanilla 2.6.32.22

XFS Progs Debian Lenny: xfs_repair -V
xfs_repair version 2.9.8

I had this problem in the past, but only with much lower kernel
versions, what does "xfs_info /dev/sdc3" says? What are the mount
options?

OK, looks fine to me. Aren't there any messages related to /dev/sdc in
dmesg? Apparently it's a single drive, any IO errors? What's the smart
status like?

No it is a Raid 5 (3Ware Controller). First Message in dmesg is

What model? Which firmware? If it's a 96x0 model, notice that 4.x.x
firmwares added lots of performance enhancements and solved many
problems.

Hi,

it is a 9650SE-8LPML with Firmware: FE9X 3.06.00.003.

So you mean i should upgrade to 4.x Firmware? Do i then have to do a 
filesystem repair? Or just wait if the error accours again?

Augh, this firmware is antique :) The latest is 4.10.xx.xx. Anyway,
don't use firmware before 3.08.xx.xx, there were some nasty bugs.

> So you mean i should upgrade to 4.x Firmware? 

Definitely. It will much improve performances, too. Simply download the
firmware file, extract it, and flash the controller with tw_cli :

tw_cli /cXX update fw=prom0006.img 

(the firmware is always in the prom00xx.img file).

> Do i then have to do a

No, the filesystem will be fine. However you should start a RAID scrub
with 

tw_cli /cXX/uXX start verify

This will rebuild the parity with the new 4.X format (faster writes)
and help detect any hardware fault.

My other advices : generally don't use cfq scheduler with a RAID
controller, it will defeat the whole purpose of RAID cache and command
reordering abilities. Use noop, generally, and deepen the queue :

echo "noop" > /sys/block/sdc/queue/scheduler
echo 512 > /sys/block/sdc/queue/nr_requests

Don't hesitate to enlarge tremendously the read-ahead cache, too. I
generally use about 512 to 1024 sectors  per drive as a rule of the
thumb, so a 4 drives array will use 2048 to 4096 :

blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/sdc

You should see a 100% write/read speed improvement with these
parameters.

Is there a way to make this static to this disk?

Is there also a way to make this static?

That would be great.

The easiest way is to add these commands to /etc/rc.local.

How about this small script in /etc/init.d/boot.local?

for i in /dev/xvd? /dev/sd? ; do
   if test "$i" == "${i%\?}" ; then
      echo i=$i
      blockdev --setra 1024 $i
      j=${i#/dev/}
      echo j=$j
      echo noop >/sys/block/$j/queue/scheduler
      echo 512 >/sys/block/$j/queue/nr_requests
   fi
done

This works for VMs within XenServer (/dev/xvda) and real servers 
(/dev/sda), and sets some values for all drives.

BTW: any recommendations for these tuning knobs on VM-ized servers? What 
should be set in the VMs and what on the host? Has someone got tested 
numbers? I'm currently testing things, but it's so damn hard to get any 
useful, reliable results.

I'd suggest that people learn how to tweak udev hotplug rules so
that when the device is first created (i.e. during hotplug) the
scheduler, queue depth and readahead are set automatically. That way
you don't have to rely on devices being discovered before your script
runs...

Another benefit of doing it this way is that it is easy to set
default rules for different types of devices based on regex matching
e.g. different configs for "sd*" vs "dm*" vs "vd*" are trivial to
set up.

Cheers,

Dave.

Sounds very nice. But the script I use will still work when upgrading 
the server from openSUSE 11.2 to 11.3, and is therefore the preferred 
choice for me.

Also, I'd need to find information and learn how to tweak udev hotplug 
rules. I want to implement this on about 30 VMs on 2 different hosts, 
with 3 different release states of servers (openSUSE 11.1, 11.2 and 
11.3). The chance is high that I'd need two or three different udev 
tweaks for the different releases, so I don't see the benefit of udev 
for me. I wrote the script in about the same time I wrote this mail.

That's always the problem between developers ("ah, cool new stuff") and 
admins ("i need this on 500 servers with least possible work for me, and 
it must still work after any updates/upgrades").

The udev rule format hasn't changed in a long while. The same rule
set should work on all of these.

You'd need one regex per device type you want to tweak with
different values.

This is not "cool new stuff" - I've seen it used for exactly this
purpose for _several years_ by distros. e.g. pulling the identifier
string from the device to set hardware device specific tunables,
changing default dm/md readahead, etc. It's not new, and is easy to
configure generically so it works on a wide array of different machines.

And if you hotplug devices, it just works automatically - you don't
need to rerun a script after every hotplug...

Cheers,

Dave.

Thanks, I know how to search ;-)
*Finding* the information doesn't mean *understanding* how to do it. It 
takes time.

I meant: When upgrading the system from 11.1 to 11.2, I'm sure the 
system replaces the correspondig script, or at least messes around with 
them. I know /etc/init.d/boot.local stays the same.

Now that indeed is a pretty good advantage.

So what values do you recommand in general for iSCSI on Serverside and 
which values on iSCSI client side?

Depends upon the hardware. nr_requests should be 512 for 3Ware cards,
256 to 1024 for other controllers (always more than the default 128
anyway). 

Same rule goes for read-ahead; however many RAID controllers (Areca,
Adaptec) "cheat" and do read-ahead optimisation by themselves (which
may harm random access). The default read-ahead value (256) was OK for
obsolete ATA drives with a few KB of cache; nowadays all drives have 32
or 64 MB, and controllers 512 MB to several GB, so more read-ahead can
do no harm but fill the cache up. I often go up to 65536 or 131072
sectors (for 24 or 48 drives arrays). Keep in mind that this is
sequentail-raid optimisation; random access (such as VM work) may give
better result with lower read-ahead values. Benchmarking your
application is king here.

Just for information : I currently run some servers with kernel
2.6.22.18 (march 2008) and 3Ware firmware 4.10.0.7, so upgrading your
2.6.23 system should be perfectly safe from a driver compatibility
point of view.

OK your values are for the iscsi_target right? Should i use the SAME

Yes, the initiator values are more important here. Basically, the iscsi
target service should transmit the initiator's requests as they come.

The settings that you apply on the initiator side are sent to the
target ; the target applies them to the underlying device.

This is valid only when exporting a block device (lv, partition), it
wouldn't work the same for fileio.

You should keep the driver and firmware ins sync wither kernel.  Choose e.g. latest 9.4.3 iso for 2.6.9, and 9.5.3 for RHEL5/SLES11/Fedora13. Do not use 9.5.3 firmware with RHEL4/SLES10 native driver. If I remeber correctly tw_update doesn't even let you mix a downgrade driver with new firmware, and vs.versus.

Iow, If you are on a legacy level, stay with latest legacy 9.4.3 for it.   

http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle14546.aspx

I've use a lot of 9550SXU and 9650SE and various MegaRaid. I find 3ware much easier to work with and better performing with xfs.


//seisqc1> /c2 show all

Hi,

it is a 9650SE-8LPML with Firmware: FE9X 3.06.00.003.

So you mean i should upgrade to 4.x Firmware? Do i then have to do a
filesystem repair? Or just wait if the error accours again?

Yes, it will complain in case your driver/api isn't compatible with the
newer firmware. Of course, only actually upgrade if it tells you :
"proceed to update".

However I'm pretty sure 2.6.23 is safe for 4.x firmware (2.6.24
definitely is).

That's weird. What do "uname -a" and "free" tells? I'm wondering if
there isn't some low memory condition at work here.

Have you run repair to fix all the existing problems after doing all
the firmware upgrades, etc?

Perhaps you've been told the wrong thing.

You are getting reports of on-disk corruption being encountered. You
need to run repair to find and fix all these existing problems.
before these problems will go away. Otherwise you'll keep getting
these reports every time you read the corrupted directory....

Cheers,

Dave.

Did you run the "verify" round on the array after the upgrade? That
would rebuild all checksum and insure that the RAID is fully coherent.
If the verify comes out with any message, there is a sloght chance that
the data on disk wasn't entirely coherent or clean.
