Hi,

I=92ve been experimenting with MooseFS, trying to get a good impression =
of it=92s performance in my environment, but I=92ve been running into =
issues with the client running on FreeBSD 10  (system information =
towards the end of this email).  Performance seems a bit dismal, but the =
big thing is that the mfsmount client eventually crashes:

pid 1004 (mfsmount), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)

I=92ve tried both MooseFS 1.6.27 out of the ports collection as well as =
MooseFS 2.0 (provided by the MooseFS developers, as something to try).

I can definitely repeat the crash using iozone.  The output in iozone =
ends like this:

           16384     512   28179   63377  6005999  6037129 5984033  =
364032 3236019   369825  5940580    60282   405846 4500939  4482736
           16384    1024   32297   58530  6122653  6079322 6014409  =
379364 3791669   351158  8752060    58609   412757 4326386  4543494
           16384    2048
Error writing block 0, fd=3D 3
write: Input/output error

iozone: interrupted


Anyway, I=92m just hoping that someone might have an idea for =
determining if it=92s an issue with the FUSE module in FreeBSD 10, or =
something else going on with MooseFS.  Or, just a well, if=20
someone has run into this issue and solved it!

I=92d normally just think it=92s a MooseFS thing, but it=92s obviously =
in the ports collection, and the MooseFS client running on a mac seems =
to work fine, and iozone reports better write (but not better random =
write) performance - some of which I think is caching.


System information:
3x Chunkservers & MooseFS Master:  Dual Xeon 5500 series, 24gb memory, =
ZFS on root, ZFS dataset for MooseFS, 2x 1tb WD Se (in ZFS stripe), =
Intel S3500 SSD for ZIL.  FreeBSD 10-Release-p7.
Client 1: FreeBSD 10-release-p7 in a VM.  4gb memory, 4 cores on an i7.
Client 2: (testing at different times than client 1) Mac OS 10.9.

If anyone has any ideas to try, I=92d love to hear them.

Thanks,
-Joe=
