Hi Kalle, Strangely and luckily, in our case the memory explosion didn't reoccur after that incident. So I can mostly only offer moral support. But if this bug indeed appeared between 14.2.8 and 14.2.13, then I think this is suspicious: b670715eb4 osd/PeeringState: do not trim pg log past last_update_ondisk https://github.com/ceph/ceph/commit/b670715eb4 Given that it adds a case where the pg_log is not trimmed, I wonder if there could be an unforeseen condition where `last_update_ondisk` isn't being updated correctly, and therefore the osd stops trimming the pg_log altogether. Xie or Samuel: does that sound possible?

Each OSD process pg_log had grown to ~22GB, which we naturally didn't have memory for, and then the cluster was in an unstable situation. This is significantly more than the 1,5 GB in the post above. We do have ~20k pgs, which may directly affect the size. > > We've reduced the pg_log to 500, and started offline trimming it where we can, and also just waited. The pg_log size dropped to ~1,2 GB on at least some nodes, but we're still recovering, and have a lot of ODSs down and out still. > > We're unsure if version 14.2.13 triggered this, or if the osd restarts triggered this (or something unrelated we don't see). > > This mail is mostly to figure out if there are good guesses why the pg_log size per OSD process exploded? Any technical (and moral) support is appreciated. Also, currently we're not sure if 14.2.13 triggered this, so this is also to put a data point out there for other debuggers. > > Cheers, > Kalle Happonen > _______________________________________________ > 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
