ALM-12051 Disk Inode Usage Exceeds the Threshold

Description

The system checks the disk Inode usage every 30 seconds and compares the actual Inode usage with the threshold (the default threshold is 80%). This alarm is generated when the Inode usage exceeds the threshold for several times (5 times by default) consecutively.

To change the threshold, choose O&M > Alarm > Thresholds > Name of the desired cluster > Host > Disk > Disk Inode Usage.

When the Trigger Count is 1, this alarm is cleared when the disk Inode usage is less than or equal to the threshold. When the Trigger Count is greater than 1, this alarm is cleared when the disk Inode usage is less than or equal to 90% of the threshold.

Parameters

Name

Meaning

Source

Specifies the cluster or system for which the alarm is generated.

ServiceName

Specifies the service for which the alarm is generated.

RoleName

Specifies the role for which the alarm is generated.

HostName

Specifies the host for which the alarm is generated.

PartitionName

Specifies the disk partition for which the alarm is generated.

Trigger Condition

Specifies the threshold triggering the alarm. If the current indicator value exceeds this threshold, the alarm is generated.

Impact on the System

Data cannot be properly written to the file system.

Possible Causes

Massive small files are stored in the disk.

Procedure

Massive small files are stored in the disk.

  1. On FusionInsight Manager, choose O&M > Alarm > Alarms and click in the row where the alarm is located in the real-time alarm list and obtain the IP address of the host and the disk partition for which the alarm is generated.
  2. Log in to the host for which the alarm is generated as user root.
  3. Run the df -i | grep -iE "partition name|Filesystem" command to check the current disk Inode usage.

    # df -i | grep -iE "xvda2|Filesystem"
    Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
    /dev/xvda2           2359296  207420 2151876    9% /

  4. If the Inode usage exceeds the threshold, manually check small files stored in the disk partition and confirm whether these small files can be deleted.

    Run the for i in /*; do echo $i; find $i|wc -l; done command to query the number of files in a partition. Replace /* with the specified partition.

    # for i in /srv/*; do echo $i; find $i|wc -l; done
    /srv/BigData
    4284
    /srv/ftp
    1
    /srv/www
    13
    • If yes, run the rm -rf Path of the file or folder to be deleted command to delete the file or folder and go to 5.

      Deleting a file or folder is a high-risk operation. Ensure that the file or folder is no longer required before performing this operation.

    • If no, expand the capacity. Then, perform 5.

  5. Wait for 5 minutes, and check whether the alarm is cleared.

    • If yes, no further action is required.
    • If no, go to 6.

Collect fault information.

  1. On the FusionInsight Manager home page of the active cluster, choose O&M > Log > Download.
  2. Select OMS from the Service and click OK.
  3. Set Host to the node for which the alarm is generated and the active OMS node.
  4. Click in the upper right corner, and set Start Date and End Date for log collection to 30 minutes ahead of and after the alarm generation time, respectively. Then, click Download.
  5. Contact the O&M personnel and send the collected log information.

Alarm Clearing

After the fault is rectified, the system automatically clears this alarm.
