Isn't it possible to clear temp faster? load_pgs is doing a lot more than just clearing temp; most of the work just isn't mentioned at debug osd = 10. It loads the PG logs into memory (recent operations) and scans them to ensure they aren't missing locally. There are likely several things we could do to speed this up (especially the search_for_missing() call) but they're a bit complex and not at the top of the list... sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
