Subject: [ceph-users] [Octopus] Beware the on-disk conversion

What the documentation does not say is that this process takes a lot of 
memory

I am upgrading a rusty cluster from Nautilus, you can check out the ram 
consumption as attachment

First, we have a 3TB osd conversion: it tooks ~15min, and 19GB of memory

Then, we have a larger 6TB osd conversion: it tooks more than 2 hours, 
and 35GB of memory

Finally, you have the largest 10TB osd: only 1H15, but 52GB of memory
