Hi John, I cut the test down to a single client running only Ganesha NFS without any ceph drivers loaded on the Ceph FS client. After deleting all the files in the Ceph file system, rebooting all the nodes, I restarted the create 5 million file test using 2 NFS clients to the one Ceph file system node running Ganesha NFS. After a couple hours I am seeing the client ede-c2-gw01 failing to respond to cache pressure error: $ ceph -s cluster 6d8aae1e-1125-11e5-a708-001b78e265be health HEALTH_WARN mds0: Client ede-c2-gw01 failing to respond to cache pressure monmap e1: 3 mons at {ede-c2-mon01=10.15.2.121:6789/0,ede-c2-mon02=10.15.2.122:6789/0,ede-c2-mon03=10.15.2.123:6789/0} election epoch 22, quorum 0,1,2 ede-c2-mon01,ede-c2-mon02,ede-c2-mon03 mdsmap e1860: 1/1/1 up {0=ede-c2-mds02=up:active}, 2 up:standby osdmap e323: 8 osds: 8 up, 8 in pgmap v302142: 832 pgs, 4 pools, 162 GB data, 4312 kobjects 182 GB used, 78459 MB / 263 GB avail 832 active+clean Dumping the mds daemon shows inodes > inodes_max: # ceph daemon mds.ede-c2-mds02 perf dump mds { "mds": { "request": 21862302, "reply": 21862302, "reply_latency": { "avgcount": 21862302, "sum": 16728.480772060 }, "forward": 0, "dir_fetch": 13, "dir_commit": 50788, "dir_split": 0, "inode_max": 100000, "inodes": 100010, "inodes_top": 0, "inodes_bottom": 0, "inodes_pin_tail": 100010, "inodes_pinned": 100010, "inodes_expired": 4308279, "inodes_with_caps": 99998, "caps": 99998, "subtrees": 2, "traverse": 30802465, "traverse_hit": 26394836, "traverse_forward": 0, "traverse_discover": 0, "traverse_dir_fetch": 0, "traverse_remote_ino": 0, "traverse_lock": 0, "load_cent": 2186230200, "q": 0, "exported": 0, "exported_inodes": 0, "imported": 0, "imported_inodes": 0 } } Once this test finishes and I verify the files were all correctly written, I will retest using the SAMBA VFS interface, followed by the kernel test. Please let me know if there is more info you need and if you want me to open a ticket.
