Re: Nautilus: BlueFS spillover

Hi,

generally expanding existing DB devices isn't enough to immediately eliminate the spillover alert. As spilled over data is already there and doesn't immediately move by such an expansion. Theoretically allert will eventually disappear after RocksDB completely rewrites all the data at slow device. So you should either wait for a while for things to stabilize. May be monitoring spilled over volumes from the alerts which presumably should decrease (or at least doesn't grow). Please note this will most probably happen under some load only. Or migrate bluefs data from main device with ceph-bluestore-tool. Which I'd recommend in case of emergency only.

I understand. We'll monitor that for a couple of days (or weeks) before taking any further steps. It's not an emergency, so the migration won't be necessary, but I also thought about that.

Try it with a little bit large db devices. The db devices also holds the WAL, which has a default size of 1 GB afaik. And you also need to consider gigabyte vs. gibibytes. We ran into the same problem in our setup..... You might also want to increase the size even further, since rocksdb needs some free space during compaction. The worst case scenario is ~60 GB per device to take compaction into account. If you do not have an extreme metadata/omap data loaded workload, you won't need more capacity for these partitions.

Our workload is not that extreme, the cluster is a backend for OpenStack and we also use CephFS. If the warnings don't go away with 30 GB rocksDB we should have enough space to double it, but that would be the limit.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

Regards,
Eugen

Hi Eugen,

generally expanding existing DB devices isn't enough to immediately eliminate the spillover alert. As spilled over data is already there and doesn't immediately move by such an expansion. Theoretically allert will eventually  disappear after RocksDB completely rewrites all the data at slow device.

Never experimented how this happens in the reality though...

So you should either wait for a while for things to stabilize. May be monitoring spilled over volumes from the alerts which presumably should decrease (or at least doesn't grow). Please note this will most probably happen under some load only.

Or migrate bluefs data from main device with ceph-bluestore-tool. Which I'd recommend in case of emergency only.

Or try to compact DB with ceph-kvstore-tool. Which is unlikely to help.


Thanks,

Igor

Update: I expanded all rocksDB devices, but the warnings still appear:

OSD.19 can be ignored as it's currently not in use, but the other devices have been expanded from 20 to 30 GB (following the explanations about the compaction levels).
According to the OSD logs these are the sizes we're dealing with:

Level  Size
L0     31.84
L1     183.86
L2     923.67
L3     3.62
Sum    4.74
Int    0.00


Is there any sign that these OSDs would require even larger bdev devices (300GB)? Which would not be possible with the currently used SSDs, unfortunately.

Is there anything else I can do without recreating the OSDs?

Thanks,
Eugen

I'm following the discussion for a tracker issue [1] about spillover warnings that affects our upgraded Nautilus cluster. Just to clarify, would a resize of the rocksDB volume (and expanding with 'ceph-bluestore-tool bluefs-bdev-expand...') resolve that or do we have to recreate every OSD?

Yes, this works since Luminous 12.2.11
