Hi all, I can now add another data point as well. We upgraded our production cluster from mimic to octopus with the procedure of
- set quick-fix-on-start=false in all ceph.conf files and the mon config store - set nosnaptrim - upgrade all daemons - set require-osd-release=octopus - host by host: set quick-fix-on-start=true in ceph.conf and restart OSDs - unset nosnaptrim On our production system the conversion went much faster compared with the test system. This process is very CPU intensive, yet converting 70 OSDs per host with 2x18 core Broadwell CPUs worked without problems. Load reached more than 200% but it all finished without crashes. Upgrading the daemons and completing the conversion of all hosts took 3 very long days. After conversion in this way no problems with snaptrim. We also enabled ephemeral pinning on our FS with 8 active MDSes and see no change in single-user performance, but at least 2-3 times higher aggregated throughput (home for a 500 node HPC cluster). We did have a severe hiccup though. Very small OSDs with a size of ca. 100G crash on octopus when OMAP reaches a certain size. I don't know yet what a safe minimum size is (ongoing thread "OSD crashes during upgrade mimic->octopus"). The 300G OSDs on our test cluster worked fine.

Clusters are zippy as ever. Maybe on a whim, try doing an offline fsck with the bluestore tool and see if it improves things? To answer an earlier question, if you have no health statuses muted, a 'ceph health detail' should show you at least a subset of OSDs that have not gone through the omap conversion yet.
