Subject: [PATCH] Increase the default size of the reserved blocks pool
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:54:13 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48E097B5.3010906@sgi.com> (raw)
The current default size of the reserved blocks pool is easy to deplete
with certain workloads, in particular workloads that do lots of concurrent
delayed allocation extent conversions. If enough transactions are running
in parallel and the entire pool is consumed then subsequent calls to
xfs_trans_reserve() will fail with ENOSPC. Also add a rate limited
warning so we know if this starts happening again.
