Hi Dan, he he, I built a large omap object cluster, we are up to 5 now :)
It is possible that our meta-data pool became a bottleneck. I'm re-deploying OSDs on these disks at the moment, increasing the OSD count from 1 to 4. The disks I use require high concurrency access to get close to spec performance and a single OSD per disk doesn't get close to saturation (its Intel enterprise NVMe-SSD SAS drives with really good performance specs). Therefore, I don't see the disks themselves as a bottleneck in iostat or atop, but it is very well possible that the OSD daemon is at its limit. It will take a couple of days to complete this and I will report back. > This covers the topic and relevant config: > https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/dirfrags/ This is a classic ceph documentation page: just numbers without units (size of 10000 what??) without any explanation of how this would relate to object sizes and/or key counts :) After reading it, I don't think we are looking at dirfrags. The key-count is simply too large and the size probably as well. Could it be MDS journals? What other objects might become large? Or, how could I check what it is, for example, by looking at a hexdump? I should mention that we have a bunch of super-aggressive clients on the FS. Currently, I'm running 4 active MDS daemons and they seem to have distributed the client load very well between each other by now. The aggressive clients are probably open-foam or similar jobs that create millions and millions of small files in very short time. I have seen peaks of 4-8K requests per second to the MDSes. On our old Lustre system they managed to run out of inodes long before the storage capacity was reached, its probably the worst data to inode ratio one can think off. One of the advantages of ceph is its unlimited inode capacity and it seems to cope with the usage pattern reasonably well - modulo the problems I seem to observe here.

What MDS config parameters should I look for? This covers the topic and relevant config: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/dirfrags/ Here in our clusters we've never had to tune any of these options -- it works well with the defaults on our hw/workloads. > I recently seem to have had problems with very slow dirfrag operations that > made an MDS unresponsive long enough for a MON to kick it out.

That sounds related. In our env I've never noticed slow dirfrag ops.
