2017-05-17 11:45:33 Marc Koderer summary NFS stale causes nova compute agent outage IO stuck causes nova compute agent outage
2017-05-17 11:45:56 Marc Koderer description Description: ============ Due to overload situation in our storage one NFS mount went into stale mode. All other mount points where accessible and working. Deletion of a VM on this hypervisor was not possible since nova-compute wasn't reactive. The agent was flagged as: > nova-manage service list nova-compute de4-2e-ff-0d-44-a4 nova enabled XXX 2017-05-16 11:49:00.577943 The nova-compute services scans over all attached volume paths (ephemeral and cinder). In case of a single stale NFS mount will pause the whole agent. With an inactive agent no operation are possible, even VM deletion. Steps to reproduce: =================== 1.) Boot a VM 2.) Attach a volume 3.) Make the NFS backend inaccessible (e.g. using a drop iptable rule) Description: ============ Due to overload situation in our storage one NFS mount stucked.
