<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I'm trying to prepare a question regarding an xfsdump INTERRUPT error I'm getting, and I'm trying to follow the guidelines for reporting such issues here:<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><FONT COLOR="#1545FA"><FONT SIZE="1"><FONT FACE="Monaco, Courier New"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:9pt'><U><a href="http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_What_information_should_I_include_when_reporting_a_problem.3F">http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_What_information_should_I_include_when_reporting_a_problem.3F</a><BR>
</U></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT SIZE="1"><FONT FACE="Monaco, Courier New"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:9pt'><BR>
But these last two instructions I'm having a problem finding the information on how to generate:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
xfs_info output on the filesystem in question (I tried xfs_info /dev/sdc, but it keeps saying for each drive that it's not a mounted xfs system IIRC)<BR>
<BR>
dmesg output showing all error messages and stack traces<BR>
<BR>
Then you need to describe your workload that is causing the problem, and a demonstration of the bad behavior that is occurring. If it is a performance problem, then 30s - 1 minute samples of:<BR>
1. iostat -x -d -m 5<BR>
2. vmstat 5<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Do I run this simultaneously while xfstools are working? I'm also not sure what's meant by describe your workload. Can someone step me through this?<BR>
<BR>
Please excuse my n00bness. <BR>
<BR>
Best,<BR>
Jeffrey</SPAN></FONT></FONT>
