We have so far been using ceph-fuse for mounting cephfs, but the small
file performance of ceph-fuse is often problematic. We've been testing
the kernel client, and have seen some pretty bad crashes/hangs.
What is the policy on fixes to the kernel client? Is only the latest
stable kernel updated (4.18.x nowadays), or are fixes backported to LTS
kernels also (like 4.14.x or 4.9.x for example)? I've seen various
threads that certain newer features require pretty new kernels - but I'm
wondering whether newer kernels are also required for better stability -
or - in general, where the kernel client stability stands nowadays.
Here is an example of kernel hang with 4.14.67. On heavy loads the
machine isn't even pingable.
