I wouldn't expect a 25% cost but there is probably some space overhead that RADOS will be able to report. > I've only observed the num_strays counter from "ceph daemon mds.$name > perf dump" for a few days now since I first suspected an issue, but > I've never seen it drop below roughly 310k.

"Strays" are inodes which have been unlinked from their place in the tree but not yet deleted. This might be deleted files, but it can also happen in some cases with hard links where you remove the original location. In your case it's probably files which have been deleted, but haven't been removed from the FS yet because your clients still hold references to them. > > So far all I've done is restart the mds and mon daemons, which hasn't > helped.

Unmounting the FS from the clients also helps sometimes, as they may hold references to deleted nodes that keep them from being deleted. -Greg > > Thanks for your help! > Josh > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
