We have a pacific cluster that is overly filled and is having major trouble recovering. We are desperate for help in improving recovery speed. We have modified all of the various recovery throttling parameters.
The full_ratio is 0.95 but we have several osds that continue to grow and are approaching 100% utilization. They are reweighted to almost 0, but yet continue to grow. Why is this happening? I thought the cluster would stop writing to the osd when it was at above the full ratio. We have added additional capacity to the cluster but the new OSDs are being used very very slowly. The primary pool in the cluster is the RGW data pool which is a 12+4 EC pool using "host" placement rules across 18 hosts, 2 new hosts with 20x10TB osds each were recently added but they are only very very slowly being filled up. I don't see how to force recovery on that particular pool. From what I understand, we cannot modify the EC parameters without destroying the pool and we cannot offload that pool to any others because there is no other place to store the amount of data. We have been running "ceph osd reweight-by-utilization" periodically and it works for a while (a few hours) but then recovery and backfill IO numbers drop to negligible values. The balancer module will not run because the current misplaced % is about 97%. Would it be more effective to use the osmaptool and generate a bunch of upmap commands to manually move data around or keep trying to get reweight-by-utlilization to work? Any suggestions (other than deleting data which we cannot do at this point, the pools are not accessible) or adding more storage (we already did and it is not being utilized very heavily yet for some reason). _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
