Hi! Not sure this question is a good fit for this mailing list, but the subject appears to be undocumented, and I'm not getting any response from ceph-users. Monitors in our 16.2.14 cluster appear to quite often run "manual compaction" tasks, usually more than once per minute. During each compaction the monitor process writes approximately 500-600 MB of data to disk over a short period of time. These writes add up to tens of gigabytes per hour and hundreds of gigabytes per day, reducing . Monitor rocksdb and compaction options are default: "mon_compact_on_bootstrap": "false", "mon_compact_on_start": "false", "mon_compact_on_trim": "true", "mon_rocksdb_options": "write_buffer_size=33554432,compression=kNoCompression,level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=true", Where can I find some documentation regarding rocksdb usage by monitors? How can I ascertain where this is expected behavior, or whether this is something I can adjust? I would appreciate your advice and/or direction towards the relevant documentation. Best regards, Zakhar

Thank you, Frank. This confirms that monitors indeed do this, and Our boot drives in 3 systems are smaller 1 DWPD drives (RAID1 to protect against a random single drive failure), and over 3 years mons have eaten through 60% of their endurance. Other systems have larger boot drives and 2% of their endurance were used up over 1.5 years. It would still be good to get an understanding why monitors do this, and whether there is any way to reduce the amount of writes. Unfortunately, Ceph documentation in this regard is severely lacking. I'm copying this to ceph-docs, perhaps someone will find it useful and adjust the hardware recommendations. /Z On Wed, 11 Oct 2023, 18:23 Frank Schilder, <frans(a)dtu.dk> wrote: > Oh wow!
