Issue
- NFS
getattr
hangs while write is in progress nfs_getattr()
hangs during heavy write workloads- NFS:
ls
stalls when big files are written - While simultaneous writes to nfs share are going on, "
ls -l
" or other commands hang ongetattr()
, the processes remain in D state till the writes are over. ls
command hangs during heavy write workloads on NFS mounts- NFS clients using RHEL5.x shows a pause during heavy I/O
