[Lustre-discuss] MDS high cpu usage

[Frans-Paul Ruzius]

Hello,

On the lustre system I have set up I use one MDS and 5 OSTs.
The MDS has almoast 100% CPU usage when I check top.
Sometimes the filesystem responds slow.
There are two processes running with over 35% cpu usage.

socknal_sd00 and socknal_sd01

Are these the main processes of the lfs?
Is it better to move the MDS to a faster node (with more CPU power)?
The MDS has now a 2Ghz dualcore AMD Athlon processor.

There area around 30 clients accessing the filesystem, somtimes all at once.

Regards,

Frans Ruzius
