Very interesting ...

 

Any idea why optimal tunable would help here ?  on our cluster we have 500TB of 
data, I am a bit concerned about changing it without
taking lot of precautions . ...

I am curious to know how much time it takes you to change tunable, size of your 
cluster and observed impacts on client IO ...

 

Yes We do have daily rbd snapshot from 16 different ceph RBD clients. 
Snapshoting the RBD image is quite immediate while we are
seing the issue continuously during the day...

 

Just to point out that when you take a snapshot any writes to the original RBD 
will mean that the full 4MB object is copied into the
snapshot. If you have a lot of small random IO going on the original RBD this 
can lead to massive write amplification across the
cluster and may cause issues such as what you describe.

 

Also be aware that deleting large snapshots also puts significant strain on the 
OSD's as they try and delete hundreds of thousands
of objects.

 

 

Will check all of this tomorrow . ..

 

Thanks again

 

Thomas

I wasn't saying you should set the complaint time to 5, just saying
that's why I have complaints logged with such low block times.

And now I'm testing this:
        osd recovery sleep = 0.5
        osd snap trim sleep = 0.5

(or fiddling with it as low as 0.1 to make it rebalance faster)

While also changing tunables to optimal (which will rebalance 75% of the
objects)
Which has very good results so far (a few <14s blocks right at the
start, and none since, over an hour ago).

And I'm somehow hoping that will fix my rbd export-diff issue too... but
it at least appears to fix the rebalance causing blocks.

Do you use rbd snapshots? I think that may be causing my issues, based
on things like:

Which says "snapc" in there (CoW?), and I think shows that just one osd
is delayed a few seconds and the rest are really fast, like you said.
(and not sure why I see 4 osds here when I have size 3... node1 osd 0
and 1, and node3 osd 8 and 22)

or some (shorter I think) have description like:
> osd_repop(client.426591.0:203051290 4.1f9
> 4:9fe4c001:::rbd_data.4cf92238e1f29.00000000000014ef:head v 40047'2531604)
