I was afraid of that the group feature is not yet much usable for: no export, no clone, no mirror. Just snap/rollback works. The IBM version supports group mirror[1]. But I don't know if this feature will stay an exclusive enterprise one? The mentioned PR is old and outdated.

Yes, I already considered this "workaround", but I'm not using libvirt, so have to talk to qemu-guest-agent my self. Thanks, Sascha.

Hey Sascha, I ran into this issue too and was quite puzzled. There is this open PR which suggests that group snapshot exports are unsupported as of now: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/40808 The best thing I could figure out to get consistent snapshots with multiple rbd's is to fsfreeze my filesystems (using libvirt, so domfs{freeze,thaw} in my case) and make individual snapshots of the rbd images.

rbd export/export-diff of group snaps

Hi, I created a rbd group to snap multiple images consistent regarding point in time: # rbd group image ls vm1010 rbd/5c6acb6f-a6ea-49f4-b709-ca10d423ad42.rbd.disk1 rbd/770e7d64-128a-4e85-9906-b49332b0df26.rbd.disk0 # rbd group snap ls vm1010 ID NAME STATE 4c8d35cc0d0177 snap-1 complete But how do I export/export diff a group snap? The individual images show no snaps: # rbd group snap info vm1010@snap-1 rbd group snapshot 'snap-1': id: 4c8d35cc0d0177 state: complete image snap: .group.1_18efdc6b8b4567_4c8d35cc0d0177 images: rbd/5c6acb6f-a6ea-49f4-b709-ca10d423ad42.rbd.disk1 (snap id: 202) rbd/770e7d64-128a-4e85-9906-b49332b0df26.rbd.disk0 (snap id: 203) # rbd info rbd/5c6acb6f-a6ea-49f4-b709-ca10d423ad42.rbd.disk1 rbd image '5c6acb6f-a6ea-49f4-b709-ca10d423ad42.rbd.disk1': size 22 GiB in 5632 objects order 22 (4 MiB objects) snapshot_count: 1 id: 18efd69508379e block_name_prefix: rbd_data.18efd69508379e format: 2 features: layering, exclusive-lock, object-map, fast-diff, deep-flatten, operations op_features: group flags: group: rbd/vm1010 create_timestamp: Tue Nov 15 12:59:56 2022 access_timestamp: Thu Mar 5 13:59:29 2026 modify_timestamp: Thu Mar 5 14:00:06 2026 # rbd snap ls rbd/5c6acb6f-a6ea-49f4-b709-ca10d423ad42.rbd.disk1 <no output> Ceph version is v20.2.0 with cephadm.

multiple role definitions
by Christopher Durham 04 Mar '26

04 Mar '26

Hi, I am using ceph 19.2.2 on Rocky 9 in a two-site Multisite configuration. I am using IAM roles for bucket access and all works fine, except the following. I have a role that people can sts assume on the master site. On the secondary site they can also sts assume the role, with the same credentials as on the master, as they are listed in the AssumeRolePolicyDocument for the role. When listing a bucket (that is in the role) on the master side 'using aws s3 --endpoint <master endpoint>, all is well. When doing a listing of the bucket on the secondary side, using --endpoint <slave endpoint> I get a code: InvalidAccessKey. When I use s3api to list a given key in that same bucket, I get error 403 on the secondary side. If I use the master side, I get a 200 and am able to list the object. The access keys and secret access key id are the same for the user who assumes the role on both sides, as they should be. Here is what i believe is the problem. If I list the role on both sides using: radosgw-admin role get --role-name <rolename> I get a different RoleID for the role on each side! So what I decided to do was pull all the roles on both sides using boto3/boto and iam. I discovered that there are TWO roles with same name on the secondary side, identical including the RoleID But this RoleId does NOT match that on the master side. I think this stems from an earlier release of ceph where roles were not included in metadata and I had to push them manually to the secondaryside and I must have made a mistake. All my other roles work fine on both sides and they are identical. I guess no one used the role on the secondary side until recently. Any idea how I can fix this? Will deleting the role delete both of the bad roles on the secondary side and then I just recreate it? Or should I just create a new role and have them use that and leave the 'duplicate' role there. -Chris

Re: Recover after multiple OSD failures (was Re: Help recovering OSD: rocksdb: submit_common error: Corruption: block checksum mismatch)

Hello Theo, Another method is to set a dummy CRUSH device class, e.g. "import", on the temporary OSD, which is not matched by any CRUSH rules. Obviously, this only works if all your CRUSH rules mention a device class and you set a non-default CRUSH rule for the .mgr pool.

Re: Diagnosing Ceph MDS Performance Issues
by Eugen Block 03 Mar '26

Hi, since you mention HDD pools, maybe the spinners are the bottleneck? Have you monitored the disk utilization with iostat (or similar)? Do the HDDs have their DB/WAL on SSD? Multi-active MDS can easily cause issues with the mds_balancer, so pinning it to one rank could help. But have you also tried subtree pinning to distribute the load between active ranks (but without mds_balancing)? But I'd look at the HDD utilization first.

Re: Recover after multiple OSD failures (was Re: Help recovering OSD: rocksdb: submit_common error: Corruption: block checksum mismatch)
by Eugen Block 03 Mar '26

Hi, I didn't read all the details of this thread, but if you want to prevent freshly created OSDs from receiving recovery traffic, you might want to set: ceph config set osd osd_crush_initial_weight 0 This allows you to create and start OSDs without a crush weight, so there won't be any traffic to this OSD at all until you reweight its crush weight. But the OSD will be up and in, which should allow you to import PGs anyway.

Re: resize/extend pool/fs storage size?

I recommend to crush reweight your OSDs to reflect their actual sizes in TB. According to your crush tree output it would be these commands: ceph osd crush reweight osd.0 0.15 ceph osd crush reweight osd.1 0.15 ceph osd crush reweight osd.9 0.15 ceph osd crush reweight osd.4 0.4 ceph osd crush reweight osd.5 0.4 ceph osd crush reweight osd.10 0.4 I expect this to have a positive effect on PG distribution, but it will cause some data movement, of course.

Diagnosing Ceph MDS Performance Issues
by Greg Ballantine 02 Mar '26

02 Mar '26

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out for some guidance on troubleshooting periodic latency spikes we’re seeing in our Ceph cluster. At times simple file operations are occasionally taking several seconds to complete and this is impacting our users. We suspect the issue lies with our MDS load balancing, specifically an imbalance where our rank 0 MDS consistently has ~3-4 billion open caps (which seems to be about where its RAM maxes out), while the rank 1 and rank 2 sit around 3-7 million. Cluster Details - Ceph Version: 18.2.4 - OS: QuantaStor 6.6.9 - MDS Configuration: 3 active, 5 standby. - Storage Pools: - Data: 16 node HDD pool (8k+3m erasure coding). - Metadata: NVMe pool (triple replication). - We have ~150 nodes in an HPC cluster that use this storage in som We’ve tried tuning some ceph config parameters to try and make the MDS balance better, but this didn’t seem to help much: - mds mds_recall_max_caps 50000 - mds mds_max_caps_per_client 100000 - mds mds_bal_split_size 5000 - mds mds_bal_interval 5 Additionally, we’ve also attempted pinning our highest-load user to the rank 2 MDS. While this did successfully increase utilization on that rank, we are still seeing significant latency spikes for small file read/write operations across the board. If it helps, this user has a volume of 505TB, we have ten other volumes in the 10-100TB range, and then 175 other volumes under 10TB in usage. Is our diagnosis correct that the MDS is what’s causing the poor latency with file operations? If so, is it possible to have our MDS services distribute load more evenly? And as another question, does the size of a volume in ceph matter, meaning should we limit volume sizes to under 100TB for example? Thanks in advance for any guidance in diagnosing and resolving this issue. Best regards, Greg -- Gregory Ballantine System Administrator for Research and Enterprise Computing UMBC - DoIT

Re: Recover after multiple OSD failures (was Re: Help recovering OSD: rocksdb: submit_common error: Corruption: block checksum mismatch)
by Theo Cabrerizo Diem 02 Mar '26

02 Mar '26

Hello Igor, Hello all, First, I've already accepted the fact that my data most likely is unrecoverable by now due to my own fault.. I'm using it to learn and hopefully document the information gained as I couldn't find much recent information regarding the process of recovery and improvement of my understanding about ceph, if someone is willing to further chime in. The current situation is that I've had multiple OSD failures and some of the ceph-osd processes would refuse to start (corruption on rocksdb). I've decided to follow https://www.croit.io/blog/how-to-recover-inactive-pgs-using-ceph-objectstor… as a suggested mechanism to export the PGs and re-import on a fresh OSD. I had an attempt (sort of documented in this thread) to do it with "unexpected" results. I have written down a lot of information, states, ceph pg queries, etc (so I can provide their outputs if relevant. I have not marked any of the OSDs as lost at any time and the monitors have been running without issue since the beginning. I have some questions regarding my observations following the information on that blog (sorry for my lack of experience): - Is the process for setting up a new "temporary" OSD to import PGs correct? (short story: "ceph-volume lvm prepare", start the osd and as soon as possible run "ceph osd crush reweight osd.XX 0") - Creating the OSD as described above, running "ceph-objectstore-tool --op list-pgs" on this OSD showed lots of PGs (which I assume they were "pre-allocation" from crush) but "ceph osd df" confirmed no data was on the osd (only very very little, like less than 2Gb). Is there a way to have an OSD "flushed out" so I can import further PGs? - Running "ceph pg XX.XX query" into some of the imported PGs after starting ceph-osd again doesn't seem to reliably reflect my progress. Is there a different way? Is it because the PG is still in down state because of the dead OSDs? For example, pg 11.17 of which had only shard-0 available because only one OSD was up. I've imported shard-1 to osd.10 , but "ceph pg 11.17 query" shows under "recovery_state": "intervals": [ { "first": "2882", "last": "2883", "acting": "1(1),3(0)" }, { "first": "3021", "last": "3023", "acting": "3(0),8(1)" }, { "first": "3024", "last": "3026", "acting": "3(0),8(1),10(2)" } ] Running ceph-objectstore-tool --op list-pgs on osd.10 (stopped) confirms that 11.17s1 is listed, and running ceph-objectstore-tool --op list-pgs on osd.8 (stopped) doesn't show 11.17 at all (none of its shards) Should I instead keep track of my progress using "ceph-objectstore-tool --op list" looking for a "oid" present? This might reflect on my lack of knowledge regarding how ceph osd "works internally", so feel free to correct me or suggest a better approach. I still have the 3x original OSDs (out of 4, one, as mentioned on the thread, have a bigger corruption and ceph-objectstore-tool fails) and 8x 2Tb disks that I can load as new OSDs to import the old data (I had less than 6Tb used before the crash). Should I continue exporting all PGs and keep importing them this way?

I did do, myself, anything to the crush. systemctl stop ceph-9f4f9dba-72c7-11f0-8052-525400519d29(a)osd.0.service && lvresize -l 100%vg /dev/ceph-cae223cb-c326-4560-b411-120bf5396fbb/osd-block-6efed8b4-6f4f-4f3f-8a1d-432f5ce38a52 && ceph-bluestore-tool bluefs-bdev-expand --path /var/lib/ceph/9f4f9dba-72c7-11f0-8052-525400519d29/osd.0/ ; ceph-bluestore-tool bluefs-bdev-sizes --path /var/lib/ceph/9f4f9dba-72c7-11f0-8052-525400519d29/osd.0/ && systemctl start ceph-9f4f9dba-72c7-11f0-8052-525400519d29(a)osd.0.service Without stopping - at least on my _cephadm_ deployed cluster - the container, resizing with _ceph-bluestore-tool_ is not possible, also, I did that with all disk-devices, all OSDs.

OSD.0 is 150 GB in size but its crush weight is only 0.09769 (10 GB). And you didn't provide the history of commands how you extended exactly the OSDs.

I suspect you mean in terms of MAX AVAIL. “Ceph” picks up capacity if it shows in the RAW STORAGE numbers from `ceph df`. We don’t have the before output, so we can’t tell. Assuming this is what you mean, this is a commonly misundertood nuance. MAX AVAIL is a function of the delta between how full the MOST full OSD of the pool’s device class is vs the fullness ratios. # ceph osd dump | grep ratio full_ratio 0.95 backfillfull_ratio 0.90 nearfull_ratio 0.85 Your numbers may look different from these, which I think are the defaults. Notice your osd.0 is 95% full. I should think that `ceph status`, which you didn’t include in your message, has clues. So for your immediate question, I think if you fix your balancing issue you’ll see a bit of space show under MAX AVAIL. > -> $ ceph df > --- RAW STORAGE --- > CLASS SIZE AVAIL USED RAW USED %RAW USED > ssd 1.6 TiB 522 GiB 1.1 TiB 1.1 TiB 68.34 > TOTAL 1.6 TiB 522 GiB 1.1 TiB 1.1 TiB 68.34 > > --- POOLS --- > POOL ID PGS STORED OBJECTS USED %USED MAX AVAIL > .mgr 1 1 449 KiB 2 1.3 MiB 100.00 0 B > cephfs.APKI.meta 2 16 241 MiB 8.51k 723 MiB 100.00 0 B > cephfs.APKI.data 3 128 110 GiB 31.35k 329 GiB 100.00 0 B > cephfs.MONERO.meta 4 16 259 MiB 92 776 MiB 100.00 0 B > cephfs.MONERO.data 5 128 245 GiB 62.78k 736 GiB 100.00 0 B > > I do not use quotas, no subvols. > I must be missing something obvious - right? - how to tell ceph to use that newly added capacity? > many thanks, L. > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users(a)ceph.io > To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave(a)ceph.io

resize/extend pool/fs storage size?

Hi guys.
