[Gluster-devel] Сrash - 2.0.git-2009.06.16

Sun Jul 5 07:53:18 UTC 2009

Hi

Firstly, a fix for this crash is under-review.
See http://patches.gluster.com/patch/672/

Secondly, I saw in the logs provided by you that the number of
outstanding/pending requests on a single thread were more than 64.
This could be because of a large number of concurrent meta-data
operations or a large number of files being open at the same
time or both.

I suggest that you try increasing the number of io-threads
at the client and server to 8 in order to balance the large
number of pending requests over more threads. It might result
in better performance.
