I have a question regarding this problem - is it possible to rebuild
bluestore allocation metadata? I could try it to test if it's an
allocator problem...
Hi.
I'm experiencing some kind of a space leak in Bluestore. I use EC,
compression and snapshots. First I thought that the leak was caused by
"virtual clones" (issue #38184). However, then I got rid of most of
the snapshots, but continued to experience the problem.
I suspected something when I added a new disk to the cluster and free
space in the cluster didn't increase (!).
So to track down the issue I moved one PG (34.1a) using upmaps from
osd11,6,0 to osd6,0,7 and then back to osd11,6,0.
It ate +59 GB after the first move and +51 GB after the second. As I
understand this proves that it's not #38184. Devirtualizaton of
virtual clones couldn't eat additional space after SECOND rebalance of
the same PG.
The PG has ~39000 objects, it is EC 2+1 and the compression is
enabled. Compression ratio is about ~2.7 in my setup, so the PG should
use ~90 GB raw space.
Before and after moving the PG I stopped osd0, mounted it with
ceph-objectstore-tool with debug bluestore = 20/20 and opened the
34.1a***/all directory. It seems to dump all object extents into the
log in that case. So now I have two logs with all allocated extents
for osd0 (I hope all extents are there). I parsed both logs and added
all compressed blob sizes together ("get_ref Blob ... 0x20000 -> 0x...
compressed"). But they add up to ~39 GB before first rebalance
(34.1as2), ~22 GB after it (34.1as1) and ~41 GB again after the second
move (34.1as2) which doesn't indicate a leak.
But the raw space usage still exceeds initial by a lot. So it's clear
that there's a leak somewhere.
What additional details can I provide for you to identify the bug?
I posted the same message in the issue tracker,
