Larger files take longer to delete (the MDS has to issue a delete op on every one of the objects that may exist), and longer to recover if their client crashes and the MDS has to probe all the objects looking for the actual size and mtime. This is all throttled so it shouldn't break anything, we just want to avoid the situation somebody ran into once where they accidentally created a 1 exabyte RBD on their little 3-node cluster and then had to suffer through "deleting" it. :D -Greg > > We are running the latest Nautilus release, BTW. > > Thanks in advance > Dietmar > _______________________________________________ > 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
