I got scared because I was not finding plausible for the object to change size and content.

In cephfs, the name of the objects is directly related to the file inode and how it is stripped so the object names do not actually change if a file is overwritten. Right?! So, in summary, in this scenario, it is normal for objects to change size and content all the time. That's true... > A consequence of this is that the very fast overwrite of files / objects could raise some scrub errors if, by chance, ceph is scrubbing pgs with objects which are changing on the fly. ...but that's definitely not the case. Scrubbing and client IO shouldn't race with each other. If you're seeing size errors, it could be some minor scrub race, but it's definitely a bug. You should discuss on irc and/or open a ticket for the RADOS team to look at. -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
