Question/Problem: Mounting of XFS filesystem takes a lot of time
Hello,
since today I have quite a big problem and I'd like to get some opinions from experts on how to proceed in solving the problem.
The Problem:
Since today mounting and unmounting of any XFS partition on my system takes (depending on size of partition) up to 15 minutes and more.
The system in its current configuration was working fine for over 6 months and I did not change anything recently with respect of upgrades.
I have already tried booting a Linux-LiveCD and mounting the XFS partitions in that system: same result.
Also I have run xfs_check and xfs_repair -n on the partitions on the RAID1 configuration: mounting still takes a lot of time (15 mins +).
The System:
Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit)
AMD Phenom 9600
Asus M3A32-MVP DELUXE with Marvel Raid Controller
1x 80GB HDD with ext3 (/boot) and xfs (/)
2x 1TB HDD in RAID1 configuration (xfs)
And now to my question:
Could my problem be a software related problem (Linux, XFS, something else) or should I consider hardware problems?
Thanks for your time
Andi

Anything in syslog or messages (like I/O errors or such)? Are harddisk(s) fine (smartctl)?
Is it fast as usual after the mount succeeds?
Ciao,

How big is the journal? (xfs_info output will tell us).

Was it a clean unmount, or is it doing journal replay?
If you do:
# mount <dev> <mtpt> ; umount <mtpt> ; time mount <dev> <mtpt>
Does the second mount take 15 minutes?

Sounds suspiciously like failing hardware to me. Any errors in dmesg?
Cheers,
Dave.

Check your disks. I've seen harddisks dying in that way. Suddenly access times are horrible. Test random access I/O and compare times, not sequential - those might still look good.
