How do you test this? I have had no issues under "normal load" with an old kernel client and a stable os. CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) Linux c04 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 14 21:49:04 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -----Original Message----- From: Andras Pataki [mailto:apataki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: maandag 1 oktober 2018 20:10 To: ceph-users Subject: cephfs kernel client stability 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.
