Is there any way to monitor and alert on pblock utilization via DFM or another monitoring tool? We had an issue recently where CIFS operations ground to a halt that was not resolved until we disabled fpolicy. We believe the entire pblock pool wound up in use and CIFS operations ground to a halt.
We're considering running something like this to ensure that CIFS never runs out of pBLKs in the future: setflag fp_maxcifsreqs_pblkpercent X
But we want to determine what the current range is before we make any changes.
Cifs stat shows the value under Max pBLKs = xxx, but XXX is a number without context, like 1700, and doesn't help much.
