How to determine the optimal size of a resource group in a GFS2 filesystem
Issue
- Analysis of
glocktop
andGFS2 lockdumps
shows glock contention over glock type 3 (rgrp
, orGFS2
resource group). - We found out that the default size of resource group of our GFS2 filesystem causes glock contention, and want to change the resource group size
- We were asked to reformat our GFS2 filesystem to use different size of resource group by Red Hat Support, and we are not sure what size we should use
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 with Resilient Storage Add-On
