Hello,

currently, we are experiencing problems with a cluster used for storing
RBD backups. Config:

* 8 nodes, each with 6 HDDs OSDs and 1 SSD used for blockdb and WAL
* k=4 m=2 EC
* dual 25GbE NIC
* v14.2.8

ceph health detail shows the following messages:

HEALTH_WARN BlueFS spillover detected on 1 OSD(s); 45 pgs not
deep-scrubbed in time; snap trim queue for 2 pg(s) >= 32768
(mon_osd_snap_trim_queue_warn_on); 1 slow ops, oldest one blocked for
18629 sec, mon.cloud10-1517 has slow ops
BLUEFS_SPILLOVER BlueFS spillover detected on 1 OSD(s)

    try decreasing "osd snap trim sleep" and/or increasing "osd pg max
concurrent snap trims".
SLOW_OPS 1 slow ops, oldest one blocked for 18629 sec, mon.cloud10-1517

We've made some observations on that cluster:
* The BlueFS spillover goes away with "ceph tell osd.0 compact" but
comes back eventually
* The blockdb/WAL SSD is highly utilized, while the HDDs are not
* When one OSD fails, there is a cascade failure taking down many other
OSDs across all nodes. Most of the time, the cluster comes back when
setting the nodown flag and restarting all failed OSDs one by one
* Sometimes, especially during maintenance, "Long heartbeat ping times
on front/back interface seen, longest is 1390.076 msec" messages pop up
* The cluster performance deteriorates sharply when upgrading from
14.2.8 to 14.2.11 or later, so we've rolled back to 14.2.8

Of these problems, the OSD cascade failure is the most important, and is
responsible for lenghty downtimes in the past few weeks.

Do you have any ideas on how to combat these problems?

Thank you,

Paul
