Hi Peter, Ceph cluster version is 0.94.5 and we are running with Firefly tunables and also we have 10KPGs instead of the 30K / 40K we should have. The linux kernel version is 3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64 with RHEL 7.2 On our side we havethe following settings: mon_osd_adjust_heartbeat_grace = false mon_osd_adjust_down_out_interval = false mon_osd_min_down_reporters = 5 mon_osd_min_down_reports = 10 explaining why the OSDs are not flapping but still they are behaving wrongly and generate the slow requests I am describing. The osd_op_complaint_time is with the default value (30 sec), not sure I want to change it base on your experience Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Peter Maloney [mailto:peter.maloney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: mardi 15 novembre 2016 13:44 To: Thomas Danan Cc: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: ceph cluster having blocke requests very frequently Which kernel version are you using? I have a similar issue..ubuntu 14.04 kernel 3.13.0-96-generic, and ceph jewel 10.2.3. I get logs like this: 2016-11-15 13:13:57.295067 osd.9 10.3.0.132:6817/24137 98 : cluster [WRN] 16 slow requests, 5 included below; oldest blocked for > 7.957045 secs I set osd_op_complaint_time=5 instead of default of 30. But also had lots of ones >30 even >60s, and with even small blocks like 5s, qemu can hang, and only SIGKILL will stop it. (also I have firefly tunables set right now, and too few pgs...working on that) ________________________________ This electronic message contains information from Mycom which may be privileged or confidential.
