Dmitry: Metawork

Gerd: Helping KIT upgrade

Tigran: Debugging NFS problems with CMS instance

Special topics

KIT upgrade

Gerd:

Successfully upgraded, Spacemanager problems, because of stuff (e.g., indices) in tables Duplicated records, null values - no idea why. Currently restoring 2.6 dump Made a patch to solve those issues for other sites

Issue with duplicated records remaining.

CMS NFS

Tigran:

50% of worker nodes use NFS4.1 now From last thursday, maybe caused by network problems, problems started to occur, pool were online but not serving data, patch committed, other patches running but not yet in repo. More problems with network caused new problems -> NFS4.1 offline -> will setup another NFS door for other use cases so users and worker nodes don't interfere. -> split reads and writes and metadata operations

-> open question: why are we falling back to proxy IO

Dmitry:

• we have a case of one direcotry where ls takes some seconds and ls -l takes about 2h.
• Also GridFTP transfers looks to kill performance and push up IO wait

Trunk activity

Progress with new features...

• xrootd4j update requires update of plugins.

• ipv6 patch 7571
