3.5.1 Matrix Server Release Notes

PolyServe Release Notes 14

8335 URL in HTTP service monitor can cause virtual host to fail

The URL assigned to an HTTP service monitor should not

reference the virtual host with which the HTTP service monitor

is associated. If the virtual host is down, the HTTP service

monitor will not be able to make a connection to the virtual host

address and will also be down. A down service monitor on a

virtual host then tends to keep the virtual host from ever being

instantiated.

8477 Volume Properties window does not show snapshot properties

The Volume Properties window shows properties for a basic or

dynamic volume as well as the filesystem mounted on the

volume, but does not show properties for a snapshot mounted

on the volume.

To see information about a snapshot, use the utilities provided

with the web management appliance.

9557 ls can be slow on busy filesystems

The ls command, and other utilities that touch or examine files,

can be slow when run on directories, or parents of directories,

that are busy on other nodes.

If ls is aliased to add any options such as --color=tty or -l, the ls

command will need to examine the stat data on the files in the

directory being listed. If those files are busy on other nodes, the

other nodes will need to flush their data and wait while ls reads

the files. Because this procedure can cause the command to be

slow, we recommend that you remove the ls options.

9557 File operations are slow

If examining or touching a file takes a long time when another

node is writing to the file, you can use the command iostat -x on

the node writing to the file to determine whether the queue

depth and average wait times on the partition containing the file

have become large enough to cause slowness.
