Hi,
I've been trying to scale up a Ceph filesystem to as big
as I have hardware for - up to 288 OSDs right now.
(I'm using commit ed0f605365e - tip of master branch from
a few days ago.)
My problem is that I cannot get a 288 OSD filesystem to go active
(that's with 1 mon and 1 MDS). Pretty quickly I start seeing
"mds e4 e4: 1/1/1 up {0=cs33=up:creating(laggy or crashed)}".
Note that as this is happening all the OSDs and the MDS are
essentially idle; only the mon is busy.
While tailing the mon log I noticed there was a periodic pause;
after adding a little more debug printing, I learned that the
pause was due to encoding pg_stat_t before writing the pg_map to disk.
Here's the result of a scaling study I did on startup time for
a freshly created filesystem. I normally run 24 OSDs/server on
these machines with no trouble, for small numbers of OSDs.

Weird, pg_stat_t really shouldn't be growing quadratically. Can you look
at the size of the monitors pg/latest file, and see if those are growing
quadratically as well? I would expect it to be proportional to the
encode time.
Here's the size of the last written mon/pgmap/latest for each run,
and the time it took to encode the pg_stat_t part of that last
instance of the file:

Looks like the file size is growing linearly, but the
encode time is not?
And maybe send us a copy of one of the big ones?
On its way.
