[Moosefs-users] write to chunkservers timing out - too much load?

[Elliot F. <efi...@gm...>]

I get a steady stream of:

'file: NNN, index: NNN, chunk: NNN, version: NNN - writeworker:
connection with (XXXXXXXX:PPPP) was timed out (unfinished writes: Y;
try counter: Z)'

Where Y is usually 1 or 2 and Z is almost always 1.  From the FAQ, I
know this is informational and not an error.

My question is:  If I'm getting a steady stream of these, is it
because I've got too much load on my chunkservers (i.e. too many
network connections, too many pending writes?)  Would adding more
chunkservers alleviate this situation?

MFS seems to only use 10 write threads on a chunkserver.  Would it
make sense to increase the number of write threads to equal the number
of disks on the chunkserver?  Most of my chunkservers have 16 disks.
One of them has 36 disks.

TIA,
Elliot
