The number of

gfs_glock

structures that currently exist in gfs.

locks held

The number of existing

gfs_glock

structures that are not in the

UNLOCKED

state.

freeze count

A freeze count greater than 0 means the file system is frozen. A freeze count of 0 means

the file system is not frozen. Each

gfs_tool freeze

command increments this count. Each

gfs_tool unfreeze

command decrements this count.

incore inodes

The number of

gfs_inode

structures that currently exist in gfs.

metadata buffers

The number of

gfs_bufdata

structures that currently exist in gfs.

unlinked inodes

The

gfs_inoded

daemon links deleted inodes to a global list and cleans them up every 15

seconds (a period that is tunable). This number is the list length. It is related to the number

of

gfs_unlinked

structures currently in gfs.

quota IDs

The number of

gfs_quota_data

structures that currently exist in gfs.

incore log buffers

The number of buffers in in-memory journal log (incore log), before they are flushed to disk.

log space used

The the percentage of journal space used.

meta header cache entries

The number of

gfs_meta_header_cache

structures that currently exist in gfs.

glock dependencies

The number of

gfs_depend structures

that currently exist in gfs.

glocks on reclaim list

The number of glocks on the reclaim list.

log wraps

The number of times journal has wrapped around.

outstanding LM calls

obsolete

outstanding BIO calls

obsolete

fh2dentry misses
