Hi again, target_max_misplaced_ratio is a configuration of the mgr balancer. What's happening here is you are simultaneously splitting and balancing :-) Cheers, Dan > On 02/15/2022 11:47 AM Maarten van Ingen <maarten.vaningen@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I did a small test to see what would happen if it set the amount of "allowed" misplaced object and this indeed does change the amount of PG's will do simultaneously. > > While probably not the balancer itself it, at least, shares this setting: > > ceph config set mgr target_max_misplaced_ratio .015 > > Will result in about 1,5% misplaced objects while it was about 1%: > pgs: 20299219/1324542018 objects misplaced (1.533%) > > Which is good to know as you can easily limit the impact on the cluster. > > I think we are good to go for now, thanks for the help on understanding this part of CEPH a little better. > > > Met vriendelijke groet, > Kind Regards, > Maarten van Ingen > > Specialist |SURF |maarten.vaningen@xxxxxxx <mailto:voornaam.achternaam@xxxxxxx>| T +31 30 88 787 3000 |M +31 6 19 03 90 19| > SURF <http://www.surf.nl/> is the collaborative organisation for ICT in Dutch education and research > > Op 15-02-2022 09:56 heeft Maarten van Ingen <maarten.vaningen@xxxxxxx> geschreven: > > Hi, > > We have the pg_num set on 4096 for quite some time (months) but only now we increased the pgp_num. So if I understand correctly, the splitting should have been done already months ago. Increasing the pgp_num should only make sure the newly created pg's are actually moved into place. > I read this here (for example) http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2015-May/001610.html > > We will keep your tip in mind about the time it takes. I think normally 1% is about a days work and 200 pg's in this pool is about 4ish % so that would mean a bit under a week until it's done. We are keeping the osd_max_backfills on 1 for now, setting it higher would ofc mean it should be done much faster. But also it would mean bigger impact on performance on the cluster. > > Met vriendelijke groet, > Kind Regards, > Maarten van Ingen > > Specialist |SURF |maarten.vaningen@xxxxxxx <mailto:voornaam.achternaam@xxxxxxx>| T +31 30 88 787 3000 |M +31 6 19 03 90 19| > SURF <http://www.surf.nl/> is the collaborative organisation for ICT in Dutch education and research > > Op 15-02-2022 09:30 heeft Dan van der Ster <daniel.vanderster@xxxxxxx> geschreven: > > Hi, > > You're confused: the `ceph balancer` is not related to pg splitting.
