Very slow "Apply", debugging help

  • Hi.

    Before I installed OMV5 on target hardware I was doing some testing on VM (Virtualbox on Win10). Through all my test all "Apply" commands ware fairly quick (few seconds) and I configured most of things (including some drives) that I wanted on my target machine (which was still in parts at the time).


    After I assembled my new server I installed OMV5 and start configuring it bit by bit. Save/Apply times ware even better than on VM. I did configured most things including Drives/Filesystem (Snapraid + MergerFS), copied 4TB of data and so on. What I remember at this point it was still quite quick. Then for some unknown reason it started to slow down. I think first I've noticed it it was when I tried to install NUT plugin (and have many problems with it, now it's removed). Recently I did run "omv-salt stage run prepare" and I saw that It is reapplying config for over 253 seconds (logs at the bottom).


    Is there a way to easy debug what is going on? My server hardware config is Ryzen 3600@ 3Ghz, RAM 16GB ECC, 128GB Samsung NVMe for system/docker volumes drive, 3x3TB data drives.

    Tested in local network over 1gbps. No SWAP partition.

    I would try the proxmox kernel (kernel tab in omv-extras). I would also check the logs for anything that is going wrong. This system is somewhat bleeding edge which can present problems to the backports kernel.

  • During "omv-salt..." there is nothing disturbing in logs.


    Only two things I see in logs that look bad are (today):

    Sep 15 07:46:23 SERVER collectd[20823]: plugin_read_thread: read-function of the `df' plugin took 10.240 seconds, which is above its read interval (10.000 seconds). You might want to adjust the `Interval' or `ReadThreads' settings.


    Sep 15 18:13:52 SERVER smbd[28643]: process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/git_repositories failed. Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

    "Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu" - mean "no file or directory"


    Is there a way to make "omv-salt" more verbose so I could see what is it doing for so long ?

    Not particularly. It is in verbose mode when you don't use the quiet flag. I would disable monitoring (can enable later if you want it) in the web interface to start. And what is the output of: grep OMV_SHAREDFOLDERS_DIR_ENABLED /etc/default/openmediavault

    ok. How about:

    sudo /usr/bin/salt-call --local saltutil.clear_cache

    sudo omv-salt stage run prepare

  • ok. How about:

    sudo /usr/bin/salt-call --local saltutil.clear_cache

    sudo omv-salt stage run prepare

    Same thing. First command took over a minute (not sure how long exactly).

    Second one took similar time like always but result was slightly different


    Code
    saltutil.sync_modules:                                
    - modules.omv_conf                                
    - modules.omv_utils


    Full output:

  • Few fresh info. I did some source code search for omv-salt and found some "salt-call" command call. This command seems to have debug option (found in Salt Stack documentation).

    So I executed this (I hope I didn't damage anything :P):

    salt-call -l debug --local --retcode-passthrough state.orchestrate omv.stage.prepare

    Loking at the output I saw two major "stops" (they are repeated few times):

    [DEBUG ] Elapsed time getting FQDNs: 40.413857221603394 seconds

    [DEBUG ] LazyLoaded zfs.is_supported

    It is stoping on both of them for quite a while (multiply times).


    There is also (every time before those two lines):

    [DEBUG ] /etc/resolv.conf: The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive.


    Not sure why its trying to get FQDNs. I will probably try to search more tomorrow.

    Full log in attachment.

  • First of all there was additional "problem" that I didn't mention (because it wasn't big of a deal), not only apply was slower but also web ui loading was "lagging", for example login page was loading for about 3 seconds, then after logging first page load for additional 3 seconds (other pages to, even "widgets" on dashboard was lagging). When I think about it samba shares also was lagging (first open). But 3 seconds is not very long so I was ignoring it. After fixing the problem all mentioned above start to working blazing fast (less then 1 sec ?)/.


    It's look like the problem is related to domain name/domain mismatch, I'm not sure what domain name I set during installation (probably "home") but I know that after some time I changed it in GUI (probably from this moment everything slowed down).

    After debugging salt-call I looked into /etc/resolve.conf to fix:

    [DEBUG ] /etc/resolv.conf: The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive.

    And then I saw that in this file I had "home" domain (now I don't remember what I had in GUI). One thing Im sure is that on my router I have domain name "local" so I start changing it everywhere, first in GUI then in "resolv.conf" (GUI change did not overwrite this file so I changed it manually).


    Now after setting GUI domain an in resolv.conf everything work very fast, Apply take about 11s (from 250s), GUI is loading instantly and I think samba shares also sped up.


    Now strangest in all of that is that I was always using local IP (no names, always 192.168.1.200) so not sure why it was trying to resolve any think. I was opening GUI with HTTP (no SSL) also using IP.


    I have local DNS on PiHole (in docker on this exact server), my router point this DNS through DHCP.


    Could you please add the following line to /etc/salt/minion.d/openmediavault-test.conf and re-run your test. Is it faster now?


    Code
    enable_fqdns_grains: False

    Maybe your issue is related to https://github.com/saltstack/salt/pull/55581.

    votdev Do you still want me to check that ?

  • I made few small test:

    1.

    GUI Domain = local,

    /etc/resolv.conf = local

    sudo omv-salt stage run prepare - time 11s


    2.

    GUI Domain = home,

    /etc/resolv.conf = local

    sudo omv-salt stage run prepare - time 130s


    3.

    GUI Domain = local,

    /etc/resolv.conf = local

    sudo omv-salt stage run prepare - time 11s


    4.

    GUI Domain = local,

    /etc/resolv.conf = home

    sudo omv-salt stage run prepare - time 26s


    5.

    GUI Domain = local,

    /etc/resolv.conf = local

    sudo omv-salt stage run prepare - time 11s


    6.

    GUI Domain = home,

    /etc/resolv.conf = home

    sudo omv-salt stage run prepare - time 253s



    Not sure if "/etc/resolv.conf" should change automatically after changing domain in GUI but at least on my server it stays unchanged.

    I have no idea why it is behaving this way but I'm not an "admin" :P

    If your output doesn't look like this, it won't change. If your output does look like this, it will change with changes in the GUI

    I did not change any permissions to this files.

    Your /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink. Fix that with:


    sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf && sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/

    You made a typo "resolved" instead of "resolve"

    Thanks. I mix it up with the systemd-resolved service name. Fixed my post.
