What I meant by "full reallocate" is to perform reallocate using the –f & -p flag on all the volumes on this aggr
see https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1136573/html/GUID-E1789834-11E5-4748-BFEA-12C699DAF242.html
I'm aware that running reallocate on the aggregate won't optimize the layout
Thanks for the heads up though

Indeed. :) It's still worth asking first.

I assume he means run a reallocation scan on all volumes within the aggregate, but NOT! on the aggregate.

What do you mean "full reallocate".
There is a good way, and a really really -bad- way.

After looking at statit we can see the read operation indeed come from cp reads due to partial stripes

Even though the aggregate is at 80% utilization it seems we have fragmentation issue
I'll try to do full reallocate and check again
Thanks for the Help

Subject: Re: unexplained read operation
I'm with Jeff... Looks like CP-Reads.
(Need to read from disk to be able to calculate parity. Happens when unable to write 'full stripes', e.g. full aggregate)
Do statit and check your disk statistics:uread = User Reads,
writes = User writes,
cpread = CP Read as described above,
gread+gwrite = guaranteed writes, like for disk rebuildTell us what you find :-)

Hello toasters
I encounter rather strange situation
I have a system FAS2040 with 1 aggr of 23x450g raid group ontap version 8.1.3p2
Every write operation being generated on this aggregate automatically caused a read operation
When I try to create 100% sequential write operation using tools such as sio_ntap or filersio
Instead of the expected 150Mb throughput I get 100MB write and 50MB read
On another FAS2040 system using the same commands I get 100% write and no reads
As you can see
filersio asyncio_active 0 -r 0 64k 0 15g 60 1 /vol/test/testfile

Nothing else is running on this netapp except for this test
