Hi, Ah, that seems to have fixed it. Hope it stays that way. I've raised it to 4 GB. Thanks to you both! Although I have to say that the message is IMHO *very* misleading: "1 MDSs report oversized cache" sounds to me like the cache is too large (i.e. wasting RAM unnecessarily). Shouldn't the message rather be "1 MDSs report *undersized* cache"? Weird. That's why I was wondering how small it should be to make Ceph happy but still be sufficient. If I had known that this message meant that the cache is too small, then I would have obviously just raised it until the message disappeared. Thanks again for your help! Much appreciated.
