I have no experience with perf and the package is not installed.
I will take a look at it, thanks.

It seems it either happens when something heavy happens in a cluster (like dropping very old snapshots, rebalancing) and then doesn’t come back, or maybe it happens slowly over time and I can’t find it in the graphs. Looking at the graphs it seems to be the former.

Maybe some are just slightly over the limit and the misses cause this? Restarting the OSD clears them (~2K) and they increase over time. I increased it to 32768 yesterday and it consistently nice now, but it might take another few days to manifest…
