Re: CephFS constant high write I/O to the metadata pool

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



maybe,

   - use the top program to look at a threaded listing of the ceph-mds
   process and see which thread(s) are consuming the most cpu
   - use gstack to attach to the ceph-mds process and dump the backtrace
   into a file; we can then map the thread with highest cpu consumption to the
   gstack output
   - enable debug logs (level 20) for the ceph-mds process for a few
   seconds and look at what's happening in there or share the logs with the
   team here

But I wonder if you could do this on your production system.
