BTW -- I'm going to create a request in the tracker that we improve the pg autoscaler heuristic. IMHO the autoscaler should estimate the time to carry out a split/merge operation and avoid taking one-way decisions without permission from the administrator. The autoscaler is meant to be helpful, not degrade a cluster for 100 days!

We disabled autoscaler on our biggest pool, but I'm concerned that it's already on the path to the lower PG count and won't stop adding to our misplaced count after drop below 5%. What can we do to stop the cluster from finding more misplaced objects to rebalance? Should we set the PG num manually to what our current count is? Or will that cause even more havoc? > > Any other thoughts or ideas? My goals are to stop the rebalancing temporarily so we can deep scrub and repair inconsistencies, upgrade legacy bluestore OSDs and compact our MON DBs (supposedly MON DBs don't compact when you aren't 100% active+clean). > > Thank you, > Ray > > _______________________________________________ > 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
