Re: Fwd: MDS memory usage is very high

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Finally I've to remove CephFS and use a simple NFS, because the MDS daemon starts to use a lot of memory and is unstable. After reboot one node because it started to swap (the cluster will be able to survive without a node), the cluster goes down because one of the other MDS starts to use about 15Gb of RAM and crash all the time, so the cluster is unable to come back. The only solution is to reboot all nodes and is not good for HA.

If somebody knows something about this, I'll be pleased to test it on a test environment to see if we can find a solution.

Greetings!

Thanks again,

I was trying to use fuse client instead Ubuntu 16.04 kernel module to see if maybe is a client side problem, but CPU usage on fuse client is very high (a 100% and even more in a two cores machine), so I'd to rever to kernel client that uses much less CPU.

Is a web server, so maybe the problem is that. PHP and Nginx should open a lot of files and maybe that uses a lot of RAM.

For now I've rebooted the machine because is the only way to free the memory, but I cannot restart the machine every few hours...

Greetings!!

Wow, yep, apparently the MDS has another 9GB of allocated RAM outside of the cache! Hopefully one of the current FS users or devs has some idea. All I can suggest is looking to see if there are a bunch of stuck requests or something that are taking up memory which isn’t properly counted.

This is what I get:

Bytes released to the OS take up virtual address space but no physical memory.


I've tried the release command but it keeps using the same memory.

The MDS think it's using 486MB of cache right now, and while that's
not a complete accounting (I believe you should generally multiply by
1.5 the configured cache limit to get a realistic memory consumption
model) it's obviously a long way from 12.5GB. You might try going in
with the "ceph daemon" command and looking at the heap stats (I forget
the exact command, but it will tell you if you run "help" against it)
and seeing what those say — you may have one of the slightly-broken
base systems and find that running the "heap release" (or similar
wording) command will free up a lot of RAM back to the OS!
