Re: [HTCondor-users] Linux LVM filling up / filesystem

[Cole Bollig <cabollig@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for the heads up of this issue. We are currently looking into potential long-term solutions for HTCondor. One solution would be to turn off LVM archiving via configuration. However, I believe this will result in no archiving of meta data for any Volume Groups that exist on the host machine. If that is acceptable then /etc/lvm/lvm.conf can be edited to the following:

backup {

        archive = 0

}

Note the backup section should exist in the lvm.conf file by default.

Warning. Enabling STARTD_ENFORCE_DISK_LIMITS (a very good thing; thank you Condor team!) can fill up EP /etc filesystems with excessive logging by LVM, e.g.,

[root@node2302 ~]# du -sh /etc/lvm/archive
6.1G /etc/lvm/archive

[root@node2302 ~]# ls /etc/lvm/archive/* | wc -l
-bash: /usr/bin/ls: Argument list too long
0
