Number of threads for osd processes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all

we have a ceph 0.67.4 cluster with 24 OSDs

I have noticed that the two servers that have 9 OSD each, have around 10'000 threads running - a number that went up significantly 2 weeks ago.

Looking at the threads:


root@h2:/var/log/ceph# ps -efL | grep ceph-osd | awk '{ print $2 }' | uniq -c | sort -n
      1 17583
    856 3151
    874 11946
   1034 3173
   1038 3072
   1040 3175
   1052 3068
   1062 3149
   1068 3060
   1070 3190

root@h2:/var/log/ceph# ps axwu | grep ceph-osd
root      3060  1.0  0.2 2224068 312456 ?      Ssl  Nov01 392:17 /usr/bin/ceph-osd --cluster=ceph -i 5 -f
root      3068  1.2  0.2 2140988 356208 ?      Ssl  Nov01 441:22 /usr/bin/ceph-osd --cluster=ceph -i 9 -f

root      3175  1.1  0.3 2186676 422112 ?      Ssl  Nov01 401:27 /usr/bin/ceph-osd --cluster=ceph -i 12 -f
root      3190  1.1  0.3 2140480 412844 ?      Ssl  Nov01 421:31 /usr/bin/ceph-osd --cluster=ceph -i 6 -f
root     11946  1.7  0.3 2060968 445368 ?      Ssl  Nov14 302:36 /usr/bin/ceph-osd --cluster=ceph -i 10 -f
root     17589  0.0  0.0   9456   952 pts/25   S+   16:13   0:00 grep --color=auto ceph-osd

we see each osd process with around 1000 threads. Is this normal and expected?

One theory we have, is that this has to do with the number of placement groups - I had increased the number of PGs in one of the pools:

root@h2:/var/log/ceph# ceph osd pool get images pg_num
pg_num: 1000
root@h2:/var/log/ceph# ceph osd pool get volumes pg_num
pg_num: 128

That could possibly have been on the day, the number of treads started to rise.

Feedback appreciated!

thanks
