I’ve received 8 alerts in the last hours and managed to get detailed, repeated walker output from two of them:
- FC-41287.log
- FC-41289.log
The other logs are tracebacks as the kernel reported them but the situation resolved itself faster than I could log in and run the walker script. In FC-41289.log I’m also providing output from `ps auxf` to see what the process tree looks like, maybe that helps, too.
My observations:
- different entry points from the XFS code: unlink, f(data)sync, truncate
- in none of the cases I caught I could see any real competing traffic (aside from maybe occasional journal writes and very little background noise), all affected machines are staging environments that saw basically no usage during that timeframe
I’m stopping my alerting now as it’s been interrupting me every few minutes and I’m running out of steam sitting around waiting for the alert. ;)
