Hi Paul, thanks for the fast reply. When you say "bit 21", do you mean "(feature_map & 2^21) == true" (i.e., counting from 0 starting at the right-hand end)? Then it would be set for all connected ceph fs clients. Assuming upmap is supported by all clients. If I understand correctly, to use the upmap mode with balancer, I need to set ceph osd set-require-min-compat-client luminous Which I would guess will not allow the jewel clients to reconnect. I would be grateful if you could clarify these points to me: 1) Can I use up-map mode without setting this? 2) If so, what happens if a jewel client without this feature bit set tries to connect? 3) I guess that in case that as soon as an up-map table is created, only clients with this bit set can connect. In case we run into problems, is there a way to roll back?

Unfortunately, I have a lot of ceph fs kernel clients that report their version as jewel, but might already support upmap. The ceph client kernel module received already a lot of back-ports and supports features of later ceph versions, for example, quotas. I guess they report back jewel, because not all luminous/mimic features are back-ported yet. Is there a way to check if a client supports upmap? > > Here some info: > > [root@gnosis ~]# ceph features > { > [...] > "client": [ > { > "features": "0x27018fb86aa42ada", > "release": "jewel", > "num": 1676 > }, > { > "features": "0x2f018fb86aa42ada", > "release": "luminous", > "num": 1 > }, > { > "features": "0x3ffddff8ffacfffb", > "release": "luminous", > "num": 167 > } > ], > > The fs clients are the top two entries, the third entry is rbd clients.
