Snowquester, funny.   ;)

:s is updating 'special files'..nothing fancy, wafl underlying maps/etc.

Something has the system with indigestion IN that process, not because of it.  I used to see this as well when in the service of Netapp as the field perf guy, but for my life, I do not recall what the root is/was at THAT time.

I'll be glad to see you guys get your response.   :)

Hi Dave,

We just went through an escalation to the higher floors of NetApp.  Professional Services came on-site and gathered data.  We ran a storage vmotion to re-create the :s and perfstat-ed the whole event.  After further analysis, the PSE claims to have found a "bug" related to the :s and the model of controller, FAS3160.  We are awaiting their report.  The "snowquester" here in DC has delayed that report.

If you have a case open, have your case owner check into case 2003994303.
