Hi David,
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, the health detail only shows
blocked requests. This seems to be related to a compression setting
on the pool, nothing in OSD logs.
I replied to another compression thread. This makes sense since
compression is new, and in the past all such issues were reflected in
OSD logs and related to either network or OSD hardware.

Alex

I was wrong where the pool compression does not matter, even
uncompressed pool also generates these slow messages.
Question is why no subsequent message relating to specific OSDs (like
in Jewel and prior, like this example from RH:
2015-08-24 13:18:10.024659 osd.1 127.0.0.1:6812/3032 9 : cluster [WRN]

currently waiting for subops from [610]
In comparison, my Luminous cluster only shows the general slow/blocked message:

So where are the details?

Hi Alex,
I agree, the health detail should display osd info.
Regarding the slow requests: ESX is very sensitive to io delay, this could be due to cluster overload or disk going bad. If you have a monitoring tool, do you see high load spikes (such as disk % busy ) on your disks ? Generally it is good (if you can) simulate the max client workload + simulate concurrent recovery and scrubbing and monitor your resources and see if they get overloaded. Most if not all issues with ESX will go away if you have enough hardware. I suspect this is what you are see-ing, specially the VMotion and compression could be the extra load which triggered the issue, in such case the problem is not specific to a particular osd. The other possibility is that a particular disk is going bad, the monitoring tool should be able to identify this.Note that VMotion generates an io pattern that keeps hitting the same osd with concurrent small writes, if you can use rbd striping, creating 64k stripes may help. A controller with write back cache will also help.Maged
Thank you, Maged. This does seem to be related to compression. I did two things - turned off compression on pool and tried vmotion to same image - failed.
Then I made another image and that time it worked. So maybe some compressed parts of the old image introduced slowness.
To be fair, I also set all Arecas to 75% buffer, so will be testing more today if that is the case.
All OSDs look healthy. Will update...but yes odd that no OSD detail display with slow requests. May need a tracker for that.
Best regards,
Alex
