Hi,

we also experience hanging clients after MDS restarts; in our case we only use a single active MDS server, and the client are actively blacklisted by the MDS server after restart. It usually happens if the clients are not responsive during MDS restart (e.g. being very busy).


You can check whether this is the case in your setup by inspecting the blacklist ('ceph osd blacklist ls'). It should print the connections which are currently blacklisted.


You can also remove entries ('ceph osd blacklist rm ...'), but be warned that the mechanism is there for a reason. Removing a blacklisted entry might result in file corruption if client and MDS server disagree about the current state. Use at own risk.


We were also trying a multi active setup after upgrading to luminous, but we were running into the same problem with the same error message. If was probably due to old kernel clients, so in case of kernel based cephfs I would recommend to upgrade to the latest available kernel.


As another approach you can check the current state of the cephfs client, either by using the daemon socket in case of ceph-fuse, or the debug information in /sys/kernel/debug/ceph/... for the kernel client.

Regards,

Burkhard

Hi all,

we're running a ceph 12.2.7 Luminous cluster, two weeks ago we enabled multi mds and after few hours

these errors started showing up

Due to this, we decide to go back to single mds(as it worked before), however, the clients pointing to mds.1 started hanging, however, the ones pointing to mds.0 worked fine.

Then, we tried to enable multi mds again and the clients pointing mds.1 went back online, however the ones pointing to mds.0 stopped work.

Today, we tried to go back to single mds, however this error was preventing ceph to disable second active mds(mds.1)

2018-10-01 14:33:48.358443 mds.1 [WRN] evicting unresponsive client XXXXX: (30108925), after 68213.084174 seconds

After wait for 3 hours, we restarted mds.1 daemon (as it was stuck in stopping state forever due to the above error), we waited for it to become active again,

unmount the problematic clients, wait for the cluster to be healthy and try to go back to single mds again.

Apparently this worked with some of the clients, we tried to enable multi mds again to bring faulty clients back again, however no luck this time

and some of them are hanging and can't access to ceph fs.

This is what we have in kern.log

Oct  1 15:29:32 05 kernel: [2342847.017426] ceph: mds1 reconnect start
Oct  1 15:29:32 05 kernel: [2342847.018677] ceph: mds1 reconnect success
Oct  1 15:29:49 05 kernel: [2342864.651398] ceph: mds1 recovery completed

Not sure what else can we try to bring hanging clients back without rebooting as they're in production and rebooting is not an option.

Does anyone know how can we deal with this, please?

Thanks

Jaime
