Re: osd_snap_trim_sleep keeps locks PG during sleep?

Hi Sam,

Thanks for the confirmation on both which thread the trimming happens in and for confirming my suspicion that sleeping is now a bad idea.

The problem I see is that even with setting the priority for trimming down low, it still seems to completely swamp the cluster. The trims seem to get submitted in an async nature which seems to leave all my disks sitting at queue depths of 50+ for several minutes until the snapshot is removed, often also causing several OSD's to get marked out and start flapping. I'm using WPQ but haven't changed the cutoff variable yet as I know you are working on fixing a bug with that.

Nick
