> I've checked the zfs properties and all bricks have "xattr=sa" set, but none of them has "acltype=posixacl" set, currently the acltype property shows "off", if I make these changes will it apply retroactively to the existing data? I'm unfamiliar with what this will change so I may need to look into that before I proceed.
It is safe to apply that now, any new set/get calls will then use it if new posixacls exist, and use older if not. ZFS is good that way. It should clear up your posix_acl and posix errors over time.
> I understand performance is going to slow down as the bricks get full, I am currently trying to free space and migrate data to some newer storage, I have fresh several hundred TB storage I just setup recently but with these performance issues it's really slow. I also believe there is significant data which has been deleted directly from the bricks in the past, so if I can reclaim this space in a safe manner then I will have at least around 10-15% free space.
Full ZFS volumes will have a much larger impact on performance than you’d think, I’d prioritize this. If you have been taking zfs snapshots, consider deleting them to get the overall volume free space back up. And just to be sure it’s been said, delete from within the mounted volumes, don’t delete directly from the bricks (gluster will just try and heal it later, compounding your issues). Does not apply to deleting other data from the ZFS volume if it’s not part of the brick directory, of course.

I run single 2630v4s on my servers, which have a smaller storage footprint than yours. I’d go with 32 for performance.io <http://performance.io/>-thread-count. I’d try 4 for the shd thread settings on that gear. Your memory use sounds fine, so no worries there.
> Our workload is nothing too extreme, we have a few VMs which write backup data to this storage nightly for our clients, our VMs don't live on this cluster, but just write to it.
If they are writing compressible data, you’ll get immediate benefit by setting compression=lz4 on your ZFS volumes. It won’t help any old data, of course, but it will compress new data going forward. This is another one that’s safe to enable on the fly.
> I've been going through all of the logs I can, below are some slightly sanitized errors I've come across, but I'm not sure what to make of them. The main error I am seeing is the first one below, across several of my bricks, but possibly only for specific folders on the cluster, I'm not 100% about that yet though.

posixacls should clear those up, as mentioned.

Fix the posix acls and see if these clear up over time as well, I’m unclear on what the overall effect of running without the posix acls will be to total gluster health. Your biggest problem sounds like you need to free up space on the volumes and get the overall volume health back up to par and see if that doesn’t resolve the symptoms you’re seeing.

It shares pretty well, but I’ve encountered situations where other things won’t try and take ram back properly if they think it’s in use, so ZFS never gets the opportunity to give it up.

> Since your volume is a disperse-replica, you might try tuning disperse.shd-max-threads, default is 1, I’d try it at 2, 4, or even more if the CPUs are beefy enough. And setting server.event-threads to 4 and client.event-threads to 8 has proven helpful in many cases. After you get upgraded to 3.12.15, enabling performance.stat-prefetch may help as well. I don’t know if it matters, but I’d also recommend resetting performance.least-prio-threads to the default of 1 (or try 2 or 4) and/or also setting performance.io <http://performance.io/>-thread-count to 32 if those have beefy CPUs.

>> Hello Gluster Users,

>> I am hoping someone can help me with resolving an ongoing issue I've been having, I'm new to mailing lists so forgive me if I have gotten anything wrong. We have noticed our performance deteriorating over the last few weeks, easily measured by trying to do an ls on one of our top-level folders, and timing it, which usually would take 2-5 seconds, and now takes up to 20 minutes, which obviously renders our cluster basically unusable. This has been intermittent in the past but is now almost constant and I am not sure how to work out the exact cause. We have noticed some errors in the brick logs, and have noticed that if we kill the right brick process, performance instantly returns back to normal, this is not always the same brick, but it indicates to me something in the brick processes or background tasks may be causing extreme latency. Due to this ability to fix it by killing the right brick process off, I think it's a specific file, or folder, or operation which may be hanging and causing the increased latency, but I am not sure how to work it out. One last thing to add is that our bricks are getting quite full (~95% full), we are trying to migrate data off to new storage but that is going slowly, not helped by this issue. I am currently trying to run a full heal as there appear to be many files needing healing, and I have all brick processes running so they have an opportunity to heal, but this means performance is very poor. It currently takes over 15-20 minutes to do an ls of one of our top-level folders, which just contains 60-80 other folders, this should take 2-5 seconds. This is all being checked by FUSE mount locally on the storage node itself, but it is the same for other clients and VMs accessing the cluster. Initially, it seemed our NFS mounts were not affected and operated at normal speed, but testing over the last day has shown that our NFS clients are also extremely slow, so it doesn't seem specific to FUSE as I first thought it might be.
