<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt">Especially why the later has level WARNING only while the first has level ERROR? Longwaiters_found is based on the output of ‘mmdiag –deadlock’ and occurs much more often on our clusters, while
the later probably is triggered by an external event and no internal mmsysmon check? Deadlock detection is handled by mmfsd? Whenever a deadlock is detected some debug data is collected, which is not true for longwaiters_detected. Hm, so why is no deadlock
detected whenever mmdiag –deadlock shows waiting threads? Shouldn’t the severity be the opposite way?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt">Finally: Can we trigger some debug data collection whenever a longwaiters_found event happens – just getting the output of ‘mmdiag –deadlock’ on the single node could give some hints. Without
I don’t see any real chance to take any action.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
