Hi David, Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes we have heavy load from clients on the same subtree. We have multiple MDSs that were setup with the hope to distribute the load among them, but this is not really happening, in moments of high load we see most of the load on one MDS. We don't use pinning today. We have placed >1 MDSs in the same servers as we noticed that the memory consumption was allowing this. Right now I have scaled down the MDS services to 1 as I have learnt that the use of multiple MDSs could have been a risky move. Though it was working not bad until we upgraded from 17.2.5 up to 17.2.7 and now 18.2.0. I'll look more in the client stability as per your suggestion.

Perhaps, also, look at the stability of all your clients (even if there are many) [dmesg -T, ...] How are your 4 active MDS configured (pinning?) ? Probably nothing to do but normal for 2 MDS to be on the same host "monitor-02" ? ________________________________________________________ Cordialement, *David CASIER* ________________________________________________________ Le lun. 27 nov. 2023 à 10:09, Lo Re Giuseppe <giuseppe.lore@xxxxxxx <mailto:giuseppe.lore@xxxxxxx>> a écrit : > Hi, > We have upgraded one ceph cluster from 17.2.7 to 18.2.0.
