Hi Ramazan,

I'm no Ceph expert, but what I can say from my experience using Ceph is:

1) During "Scrubbing", Ceph can be extremely slow. This is probably where your "blocked requests" are coming from. BTW: Perhaps you can even find out which processes are currently blocking with: ps aux | grep "D". You might even want to kill some of those and/or shutdown services in order to relieve some stress from the machine until it recovers.

2) I usually have the following in my ceph.conf. This lets the scrubbing only run between midnight and 6 AM (hopefully the time of least demand; adjust as necessary) - and with the lowest priority.

#Reduce impact of scrub.
osd_disk_thread_ioprio_priority = 7
osd_disk_thread_ioprio_class = "idle"
osd_scrub_end_hour = 6

3) The Scrubbing begin and end hour will always work. The low priority mode, however, works (AFAIK!) only with CFQ I/O Scheduler. Show your current scheduler like this (replace sda with your device):

cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler

You can also echo to this file to set a different scheduler.


With these settings you can perhaps alleviate the problem so far, that the scrubbing runs over many nights until it finished. Again, AFAIK, it doesnt have to finish in one night. It will continue the next night and so on.

The Ceph experts say scrubbing is important. Don't know why, but I just believe them. They've built this complex stuff after all :-)

Thus, you can use "noscrub"/"nodeepscrub" to quickly get a hung server back to work, but you should not let it run like this forever and a day.

Hope this helps at least a bit.

BR,

Ranjan

Hello,

I have a Ceph Cluster with specifications below:
3 x Monitor node
6 x Storage Node (6 disk per Storage Node, 6TB SATA Disks, all disks have SSD 
journals)
Distributed public and private networks. All NICs are 10Gbit/s
osd pool default size = 3
osd pool default min size = 2

Ceph version is Jewel 10.2.6.

My cluster is active and a lot of virtual machines running on it (Linux and 
Windows VM's, database clusters, web servers etc).

During normal use, cluster slowly went into a state of blocked requests. 
Blocked requests periodically incrementing. All OSD's seems healthy. Benchmark, 
iowait, network tests, all of them succeed.

Active scrub does not finish (about 24 hours). I did not restart any OSD 
meanwhile.
I'm thinking set noscrub, noscrub-deep, norebalance, nobackfill, and norecover 
flags and restart 3,29,31th OSDs. Is this solve my problem? Or anyone has 
suggestion about this problem?

Thanks,
Ramazan
