Ah right, in 18.2.0 the event wasn't present, that explains it. I won't fail the customer cluster, of course. Everything is fine, I was just curious what the many many events were. Althouh there's barely any IO to the CephFS, it still logs between 16k and 60k events in daemonperf output.

Anyway, thanks again for your quick response!

The ceph-common version is 18.2.0 (Ubuntu Jammy). I tried the same
within cephadm shell (19.2.3) and there I get a "operation not
permitted":


root@ceph-osd-1:/# ceph -v
ceph version 19.2.3 (c92aebb279828e9c3c1f5d24613efca272649e62) squid (stable)

root@ceph-osd-1:/# cephfs-journal-tool --rank=cephfs:0 event get list
Error ((1) Operation not permitted2026-06-19T09:26:02.373+0000
7f25d078b380 -1 main: Cannot run cephfs-journal-tool on an active file
system!
)

Why can I list events from outside the shell? I'm a bit surprised.

Because of "Cannot run cephfs-journal-tool on an active file system!".
This check was added because some users ran the tool (with other
arguments) on an active file system, which caused various issues. Do a
`ceph fs fail ...` and the tool should work.
