Hi Erich,

So I'm trying to figure out ways to reduce the number of warnings I'm getting and I'm thinking about the one "client failing to respond to cache pressure".

Is there maybe a way to tell a client (or all clients) to reduce the amount of cache it uses or to release caches quickly? Like, all the time?

I know the linux kernel (and maybe ceph) likes to cache everything for a while, and rightfully so, but I suspect in my use case it may be more efficient to more quickly purge the cache or to in general just cache way less overall...?

We have many thousands of threads all doing different things that are hitting our filesystem, so I suspect the caching isn't really doing me much good anyway due to the churn, and probably is causing more problems than it helping...

We are seeing "client failing to respond to cache pressure" on a daily basis.

Remounting on the client usually 'fixes' the issue. Sometimes, remounting on all clients that have the same directory mounted is needed. Also, a larger MDS cache seems to help.

As Dietmar said, VS Code may cause this. Quite funny to read, actually, because we've been dealing with this issue for over a year, and yesterday was the very first time Ceph complained about a client and we saw VS Code's remote stuff running. Coincidence.
