Can this be related to numa issues? I have also dual processor nodes, and was wondering if there is some guide on how to optimize for numa.

I was investigating bluestore as well. My host dont go unresponsive but I do see parallel io slow down.

The nodes ran filestore OSDs (Jewel, then Luminous). Sometimes a node would be so unresponsive that one couldn't even ssh to it (even though the root disk was a physically separate drive on a separate controller from the OSD drives). Often these would coincide with kernel stack traces about hung tasks. Initially we did blame high load, etc. from all the OSDs. But then we benchmarked the nodes independently of ceph (with iozone and such) and noticed problems there too. When we started a few dozen iozone processes on separate JBOD drives with xfs, some didn't even start and write a single byte for minutes. The conclusion we came to was that there is some interference among a lot of mounted xfs file systems in the Red Hat 3.10 kernels. Some kind of central lock that prevents dozens of xfs file systems from running in parallel. When we do I/O directly to raw devices in parallel, we saw no problems (no high loads, etc.). So we built a newer kernel, and the situation got better. 4.4 is already much better, nowadays we are testing moving to 4.14. Also, migrating to bluestore significantly reduced the load on these nodes too. At busy times, the filestore host loads were 20-30, even higher (on a 28 core node), while the bluestore nodes hummed along at a lot of perhaps 6 or 8. This also confirms that somehow lots of xfs mounts don't work in parallel. Andras On 08/23/2018 03:24 PM, Tyler Bishop wrote: > Yes I've reviewed all the logs from monitor and host.
