There's an option when mounting the FS on the client to not display those (on the kernel it's "norbytes"; see http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/man/8/mount.ceph/?highlight=recursive; I didn't poke around to find it on ceph-fuse but it should be there). Calculating them is not very expensive (or at least, the expense is intrinsic to other necessary functions) so you can't disable it on the server.

Is it be possible to disable this feature? Very few filesystems calculate the size of its folder's contents. I know I enjoy it in multiple use cases, but there are some use cases where this is not useful and a cause for unnecessary lag/processing. I'm not certain how this is calculated, but I could imagine some of those use cases with millions of files in cephfs that waste time calculating a folder size that nobody looks at is not ideal.On Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 2:11 PM Gregory Farnum <gfarnum@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hmm, I *think* this might be something we've seen before and is the result of our recursive statistics (ie, the thing that makes directory sizes reflect the data within them instead of 1 block size). If that's the case it should resolve within a few seconds to maybe tens of seconds under stress?But there's also some work to force a full flush of those rstats up the tree to enable good differential backups. Not sure what the status of that is.-GregOn Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 11:06 AM David Turner <drakonstein@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:We have an existing workflow that we've moved from one server sharing a local disk via NFS to secondary servers to all of them mounting CephFS.
