Question about upgrading OneFS to 9.13.1.0 which requires workaround https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/000464795
Workaround seemed easy enough, but it says to modify the sysctl.conf, which is found in /etc/local. That directory is empty on both of my clusters. I found sysctl.conf in /etc/mcp/override instead. So the provided commands from the KB do not work. Should I simply change the path in the provided commands? Or maybe this workaround doesn't apply?
These are the instructions from the KB (there is no mention of what to do if sysctl.conf is not found in /etc/local)
Comment out any workaround if applied as per this article updates before 2026-June-03 in /etc/local/sysctl.conf on all nodes. To do so run:
isi_for_array "sed -i '' 's/^vfs.dirtybufthresh/#vfs.dirtybufthresh/g' /etc/local/sysctl.conf "
Apply this new updated workaround in /etc/local/sysctl.conf on all nodes.
To do so run:
isi_for_array -s 'echo "vfs.dirtybufthresh=$((16 * (`sysctl -n kern.nbuf` / 2 + 20) * 9 / 10 ))" >> /etc/local/sysctl.conf'
