  • Warnings about large number of file deletions:
Wed Jan 18 01:34:50 +0100 [Node_A1: wafl_exempt05: wafl.zombie.susp.aggr.limit:notice]: WAFL(R) aggregate aggr1 is experiencing zombie throttling possibly due to requests for large number of file deletions. This can be mitigated by a combination of a) reducing the load on the aggregate or b) issuing the file deletion requests in smaller batches.
