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.
