====== JFS2 sync time exceeded 600 seconds ====== File system level: --> the jfs2 buffers need to be increased (dynamic): # ioo -p -o j2_dynamicBufferPreallocation=256 service queue_depth on the hdisk devices: --> I would recommend you to increase the service queue_depth from 32 to 48 or to 64. --> please talk to the storage support about this also, as this is not the only LPAR connected to this storage box. For example, I start with a queue_depth of 32, which is confirmed by looking at lsattr (ODM) and kdb (running config) output: # lsattr -El hdisk6 -a queue_depth queue_depth 32 Queue DEPTH True # echo scsidisk hdisk6 | kdb | grep queue_depth ushort queue_depth = 0x20; < In Hex. # echo "ibase=16 ; 20" | bc 32
