Hello,

We have 2 Equallogic Systems, And a Dell Servers.

We have every server give a block device home dir , so the user data are on the home dir this is working great its format on xfs filesystem, and running iscsiadm version 2.0-870 with linux kernel 3.10.62

But when we logging on the server, the first time we do a dir command on the home dir, its take a long time when we get feedback on the dir , the next time is fast when we do a dir. Now we have users on this systems and this problem give not good performance on sql and websites an e-mail we are running on the server.

Are the some information how i can fix ore maybe get this problem better under control ?

I hope so that somebody can help me, i am searching for more than 3 weeks now.

Thanks,
Stefan

I suspect that you're using slow, 7200 RPM drives in RAID-5 or RAID-6, and you're IO bound. Equallogic arrays are notably slow. Easy to use, cheap, and sloooow ("fast, good, cheap, choose two" as the saying go).

What is your drive/RAID configuration? Is the iSCSI link 1GigE or 10 GigE?

That's not enough information to diagnose the problem. See:

Cheers,
Stan
