<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear XFS community & developers,</div><div><br></div><div>I am using CentOS 6.3 and xfs as base file system and use RAID5 as hardware storage.</div><div><br></div><div>Detail environment as follow:</div>
<div> OS: CentOS 6.3</div><div> Kernel: kernel-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64</div><div> XFS option info(df output): /dev/sdb1 on /data type xfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier)</div><div><br></div><div>Detail phenomenon:</div>

<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It seems that some xfs kernel function spend much time (xfs_inobt_get_rec, xfs_btree_increment, etc.)</div><div><br></div><div>I found a bug in bugzilla [1], is that is the same issue like this?</div>
<div><br></div><div>It's very greatly appreciated if you can give constructive suggestion about this issue, as It's really hard to reproduce from another system and it's not possible to do upgrade on that online machine.</div>
