Awesome, thank you Sage! With that explanation, it's actually a lot easier and less impacting than I thought. :)

It is hard to quantify. I think we only saw the problem with RGW, but CephFS also sends deletes to non-existent objects when deleting or truncating sparse files. Those are probably not too common in most environments... > What does pause IO do? Do current sessions just get queued up and IO > resume normally with no problem after unpausing? Exactly. As long as the application doesn't have some timeout coded where it gives up when a read or write is taking to long, everything will just pause. > If we have to pause IO, is it better to do something like: pause IO, > restart OSDs on one node, unpause IO - repeated for all the nodes > involved in the EC pool? Yes, that sounds like a great way to proceed! sage |
