[OpenAFS-devel] What data from production environments could help OpenAFS development?

[Jason Edgecombe]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering. What data from production environments would be helpful 
for the OpenAFS developers? Would it help us to set priorities? Would it 
help us pinpoint performance bottlenecks? Could the data be gathered 
without a significant performance penalty?

For example, I have been collecting sar (man sar) data on my Linux 
fileservers every minute since January of 2011. I've also started 
collecting process accounting data (man 5 acct) in August of 2011. I 
plan to keep the sar data for a year or two and the process accounting 
for at least a few months.

I also have sar and process accounting data from Linux workstations and 
timesharing servers, but that data would require more sanitizing before 
being shared.

Is this data of interest to anyone besides myself? Are any other sites 
interested in this data?

Would AFS sites or developers benefit from sharing AFS performance data?

Thanks,
Jason
