Hello all, We're using Nautilus 14.2.2 (upgrading soon to 14.2.3) on 29 CentOS osd servers. We've got a large variation of disk sizes and host densities. Such that the default crush mappings lead to an unbalanced data and pg distribution. We enabled the balancer manager module in pg upmap mode. The balancer commands frequently hang indefinitely when enabled and then queried. Even issuing a balancer off will hang for hours unless issued within about a minute of the manager restarting. I digress. In upmap mode, it looks like ceph only moves osd mappings within a host. Is this the case? I bring this up because we've got one disk that is sitting at 88% utilization and I've been unable to bring this down. The next most utilized disks are at 80%, and even then, I think that could be reduced. If the limitation is that upmap mode cannot map to osds to different hosts, than that might be something to document. As it is a significant difference to crush-compat. Another thing to document would be how to move between the two modes. I think this is needed to move between crush-compat and upmap: ceph osd crush weight-set rm-compat I don't know about the reverse, though. ceph osd df tree [1] pg upmap items from the osdmap [2] [1] https://people.cs.ksu.edu/~mozes/ceph_balancer_query/ceph_osd_df_tree.txt [2] https://people.cs.ksu.edu/~mozes/ceph_balancer_query/pg_upmap_items.txt -- Adam _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
