Hi Frank, It helps if you start threads reminding us which version you're running. During nautilus the caps recall issue (which is AFAIK the main cause of mds cache overruns) should be solved with this PR: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/39134/files If you're not running >= 14.2.17 then you should probably just apply these settings all together. (Don't worry which order they are set or whatever -- just make the changes within a short window). Also, to try to understand your MDS issues -- are you using pinning or letting metadata move around between MDSs ? find / might wreak havoc if you aren't pinning. -- dan On Tue, Aug 31, 2021 at 2:13 PM Frank Schilder <frans@xxxxxx> wrote: > > I seem to be hit by the problem discussed here: https://lists.ceph.io/hyperkitty/list/ceph-users@xxxxxxx/thread/AOYWQSONTFROPB4DXVYADWW7V25C3G6Z/ > > In my case, what helped getting the cash size growth somewhat under control was > > ceph config set mds mds_recall_max_caps 10000 > > I'm not sure about the options mds_recall_max_decay_threshold and mds_recall_max_decay_rate.

What increments would be safe to use? For example, is it really a good idea to go from 16384 to the new default 131072 in one go? > > Thanks for any advice and best regards, > ================= > Frank Schilder > AIT Risø Campus > Bygning 109, rum S14 > > ________________________________________ > From: Frank Schilder <frans@xxxxxx> > Sent: 30 August 2021 21:37:18 > To: ceph-users > Subject: Re: MDS daemons stuck in resolve, please help > > The MDS cluster came back up again, but I lost a number of standby MDS daemons. I cleared the OSD blacklist, but they do not show up as stand-by daemons again. The daemon itself is running, but does not seem to re-join the cluster.

A restart of a "missing" daemon brings it back to life, but I would prefer this to work by itself.
