so snapshots of rbd images would be safe? or would they hit the limit?

Hi Tomasz,
as far as I know it still has this limit.
But it should be relatively safe to use it.

If we hit the 4KB limit of xattrs in ext4 how does it show up in the rbd
layer?
How does it show up in the fs layer, would the fs still be clean?
Right now it would show up very badly, unfortunately. (And yes, the
limit is still there.) You'd notice, though you might manage to
corrupt some of your data first. :/
Well, the osd's are now more careful about being fail-stop, so if they hit
the xattr limit they crash. So there won't be data corruption per se,
except that you won't be able to start the OSD up again because the
journal replay will keep hitting the limit.
However, if you're not taking snapshots and you're not using xattrs
yourself, you won't hit it with rbd or the Ceph FS.
Right. Nothing sets large xattrs on objects in rbd. For the file system,
this would only happen on extremely (!) deeply nested directories (ceph
dfs xattrs are managed by the MDS, not as object attrs).

what about limit on xattr size ? Is it still limited to 4KB ?

Hi Christian,
I am not sure if you noticed, but your ext4 bug is fixed in mainline. I
am
running a ceph cluster with 40+ vms for over a week by now, without any
problems. An fsck.ext4 shows the ext4 is clean.
The performance of ext4 is much better than btrfs, no rise in the load of
the osd's.
