This caught me by surprise - I expected async delete to have LESS impact on the clients than an xcp delete. I was obviously wrong :(. I ran xcp delete up to 11:30am on this file system, switched to async delete at 11:30, killed it at 17:30, and switched back to xcp at 17:32 where it ran until the next day (total files deleted: >200M!). Is this expected or is this an async delete bug/limitation? Graph from nabox/harvest.

Glad the new dashboard was helpful at least.
I'd open a case because that doesn't sound right Ed.
is this a FAS (spinning disks)?
This was AFF A800. My NetApp SE is all over it. "not designed for performance" is the initial response which of course is not acceptable.
If end-user performance is crippled running async delete, my recommendation is to never use async delete and continue using xcp.
did you log a case for this? I'm curious as to what we found
I did not log a case and have offered the perf archive logs. They wanted a perfstat but I'm not going to reproduce the problem in house (and this may only be caused by the size of the delete - I have no way of knowing). Dan Chuey currently owns it.
