Hi Goncalo,
Thank you. Yes, i have seen that thread, but I have no near full osds and
my mds cache size is pretty high.
You can use the daemon socket on the mds server to get an overview of the
current cache state:
ceph daemon mds.XXX perf dump
The message itself indicates that the mds is in fact trying to convince
clients to release capabilities, probably because it is running out of cache.
My cache is set to mds_cache_size = 15000000, but you are right, it seems
the complete cache is used, but that shouldn't be a real problem if the
clients can release the caps in time. Correct me if i'm wrong but the
cache_size is pretty high compared to the default (100k). I will raise the
mds_cache_size a bit and see if it helps a bit.
The 'session ls' command on the daemon socket lists all current ceph clients
and the number capabilities for each client. Depending on your workload /
applications you might be surprised how many capabilities are assigned to
individual nodes...
From the client side of view the error means that there's either a bug in the
client, or an application is keeping a large number of files open (e.g. do
you run mlocate on the clients?)
I haven't had this issue when I was on hammer and the amount of clients
haven't changed. I have "ceph fuse.ceph fuse.ceph-fuse" in my PRUNEFS for
updatedb, so it probably isn't mlocate which would cause this issue.
The only real difference is my upgrade to Jewel.
If you use the kernel based client re-mounting won't help, since the internal
state is keep the same (afaik). In case of the ceph-fuse client the ugly way
to get rid off the mount point is a lazy / forced umount and killing the
ceph-fuse process if necessary. Processes with open file handles will
complain afterwards.
Before using rude ways to terminate the client session i would propose to
look for rogue applications on the involved host. We had a number of problems
with multithreaded applications and concurrent file access on the past (both
with ceph-fuse from hammer and kernel based clients). lsof or other tools
might help locating the application.
My cluster is back to HEALTH_OK, the involved host has been restarted by
the user. But I will debug some more on the host when i see this issue
again next time.
PS: For completeness, i've stated that this issue was often seen in my
current Jewel environment, I meant to say that this issue comes up
sometimes (so not so often). But the times when i *do* have this issue, it blocks some
I/O for clients as a consequence.
Regards,
Burkhard
