If it is busy logging the snap_trimmer messages, then it?s the same issue. (The issue is that rbd pools have many purged_snaps, but sometimes after backfilling a PG the purged_snaps list is lost and thus the snap trimmer becomes very busy whilst re-trimming thousands of snaps. During that time (a few minutes on my cluster) the OSD is blocked.) That sounds promising, thank you! debug_osd=10 should actually be sufficient as those snap_trim messages get logged at that level. :) Do I understand your issue report correctly in that you have found setting osd_snap_trim_sleep to be ineffective, because it's being applied when iterating from PG to PG, rather than from snap to snap? If so, then I'm guessing that that can hardly be intentional... Cheers, Florian
