yum, thanks. :)
Lori, from your log snippet, I have a few questions which you might have some time free to reply on:
- Did the scan take ~1hr to run?
i wasn't watching sysstat, but the messages file wants us to believe it took 48 minutes during prime time.
- What size was the volume in question?
/vol/vol1/ 813694976KB 766782408KB 46912568KB 94% /vol/vol1/ /vol/vol1/.snapshot 25165824KB 23847548KB 1318276KB 95% /vol/vol1/.snapshot
(a flexvol.)
- Did you see any performance impact on the filer?
certainly not with the human eye. but we are overpowered and rarely run into user-detectable performance issues on the filer itself (even when i'm multithreading massive level 0 dumps from our sun server farm).
i didn't have a benchmark so i didn't bother with any kind of detailed measurements.
- Are you snapmirroring the volume in question? If so did you turn off
snapmirroring for the duration of the scan?
no snapmirroring.
