Problem
Hang after upgrade to InfoScale 8.0.2u6 and RedHat 9.6
Error Message
The main system log showed various VxFS threads in a hung state, e.g.
Aug 10 04:32:43 ***** kernel: ? vx_write1_fast+0x87f/0xec0 [vxfs]
is a call that is referenced in the syslog and which Arctera Engineering say can loop infinitely
Cause
The issue relates to changes made in RHEL 9.6 with Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) code
Solution
VxFS 8.0.2.2801 has been released to avoid the hang symptoms and to allow VxFS to work with RHEL 9.6 NUMA changes. Please open a support case with Arctera in order to obtain.
The issue will also be addressed in forthcoming patch 8.0.2 update 7, due 15 October.
