hi burkhard, i found that way and build my own script for that. but thanks, its good to get some experience. sometimes not easy, to find the right way ... had some issues with rbd|cephfs-mirroring. so, very good information for that money ;) i also used that for the samba dfree command script. its now working fine. little notice ... map a network drive and there is no "X GB of Y GB free" line. right click, rename the network drive and voila ... there it is ... funny. regards, ronny Am 2026-03-17 12:40, schrieb Burkhard Linke via ceph-users: > Hi, > > > just my 0.02 euro: > > > if you want to collect usage information on the cluster, you can use > the recursive stats feature in cephfs: > > $ getfattr -n ceph.dir.rbytes /vol/adm > getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names > # file: vol/adm > ceph.dir.rbytes="1199125900626" > > $ getfattr -n ceph.dir.rfiles /vol/adm > getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names > # file: vol/adm > ceph.dir.rfiles="309017" > > > We use a script to generate the corresponding values in a prometheus > compatible format, and use script-exporter for invoking the script > remotely.

Cephadm staggered upgrade --limit parameter not always applied
by Eugen Block 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Hi, I did a quick search on tracker but couldn't find anything related. A customer reported this, and I can confirm the behaviour on a lab cluster. I usually perform a staggered upgrade with --daemon-types and --limit, but not for all daemon types. So I haven't stumbled across this yet myself, but our customer did (I can reproduce with --daemon-types as well). They upgraded from latest Reef to latest Squid and reported that despite providing the --limit parameter, the mons were all upgraded. So I tried to reproduce, and the behaviour is not really clear to me, I'll try to clarify. # Start with MGRs reef1:~ # ceph orch upgrade start --image quay.io/ceph/ceph:v19.2.3 --services mgr --limit 1 Upgrading MGRs with limit works, but it doesn't reflect in the MGR log. Usually, I expect a line like this: ...[cephadm INFO root] Hit upgrade limit of 1. Stopping upgrade But there is no such line in the logs. Then I upgrade the rest of the MGRs. # Continue with MONs reef1:~ # ceph orch upgrade start --image quay.io/ceph/ceph:v19.2.3 --services mon --limit 1 This gets even weirder, the orchestrator upgrades 2 out of 3 MONs. And again, no such line in the log (Hit upgrade limit). What I noticed was a MGR respawn after the first MON had been upgraded successfully. Maybe some state of the upgrade progress gets lost during the respawn? I then upgraded the remaining MON. Then ceph-crash is upgraded successfully. # Upgrade OSD reef1:~ # ceph orch upgrade start --image quay.io/ceph/ceph:v19.2.3 --services osd.osd.standalone --limit 1 And this is the first service that actually reports the upgrade limit: 2026-03-05T15:47:17.108+0000 7f5bfdc73640 0 [cephadm INFO cephadm.upgrade] Upgrade: Updating osd.0 (1/1) 2026-03-05T15:47:17.108+0000 7f5bfdc73640 0 log_channel(cephadm) log [INF] : Upgrade: Updating osd.0 (1/1) 2026-03-05T15:47:32.518+0000 7f5bfdc73640 0 [cephadm INFO root] Hit upgrade limit of 1.

This is really irritating and inconsistent: If the orchestrator does honor --limit with other services than OSD, why isn't that visible in the logs? And what's with the MONs? Why 2 out of 3? Any pointers appreciated! Not sure which Ceph versions might be affected by this, I'll try out a couple more upgrade paths. Thanks, Eugen

Re: cephfs quota samba export

Hi, just my 0.02 euro: if you want to collect usage information on the cluster, you can use the recursive stats feature in cephfs: $ getfattr -n ceph.dir.rbytes /vol/adm getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: vol/adm ceph.dir.rbytes="1199125900626" $ getfattr -n ceph.dir.rfiles /vol/adm getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: vol/adm ceph.dir.rfiles="309017" We use a script to generate the corresponding values in a prometheus compatible format, and use script-exporter for invoking the script remotely. Results are stored in prometheus/thanos and visualized with grafana. This will not show correct values for users, but you can also export the current quotas (also just xattrs), and use prometheus or grafana alerting if certain thresholds are reached. Best regards, Burkhard

problem with mgr prometheus module
by Dario Graña 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Hi all! I'm running ceph quincy 17.2.7 in a cluster. On monday I updated the OS to AlmaLinux 9.3 to 9.4, since then grafana shows "No Data" message in all ceph related fields but, for example, the nodes information is still fine (Host Detail Dashboard). I have redeployed the mgr service with cephadm, disabled and re-enabled mgr prometheus module , but nothing changed. Digging into the problem, I accessed the prometheus interface. When I access prometheus, and found this error[image: Screen Shot 2024-06-04 at 15.22.37.png] When I access the node shown as down, it reports 503 Service Unavailable No cached data available yet Traceback (most recent call last): File "/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 638, in respond self._do_respond(path_info) File "/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 697, in _do_respond response.body = self.handler() File "/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cherrypy/lib/encoding.py", line 219, in __call__ self.body = self.oldhandler(*args, **kwargs) File "/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cherrypy/_cpdispatch.py", line 54, in __call__ return self.callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/share/ceph/mgr/prometheus/module.py", line 1751, in metrics return self._metrics(_global_instance) File "/usr/share/ceph/mgr/prometheus/module.py", line 1762, in _metrics raise cherrypy.HTTPError(503, 'No cached data available yet') cherrypy._cperror.HTTPError: (503, 'No cached data available yet') I checked the mgr prometheus address and port [ceph: root@ceph-admin01 /]# ceph config get mgr mgr/prometheus/server_addr :: [ceph: root@ceph-admin01 /]# ceph config get mgr mgr/prometheus/server_port 9283 It seems to be ok. When I check the master manager node for the port, I found [root@ceph-hn01 ~]# netstat -natup | grep 9283 tcp6 0 0 :::9283 :::* LISTEN 2453/ceph-mgr tcp6 0 0 192.168.97.51:9283 192.168.97.60:36130 ESTABLISHED 2453/ceph-mgr I don't understand why it is showing as IPv6, the node doesn't have a dual stack. I also tried to use a newer version of the prometheus container image, the 1.6.0, but it keeps reporting the same, so I rolled it back to the original one. Has anyone experienced an issue like this? Where can I look for more information about it? Thanks in advance.

Re: problem with mgr prometheus module

Hello, Quite an hold thread, but maybe this will help someone. We had the same issue on our Ceph cluster. It all came down to an erasure code profile with a missing setting. In the logs of ceph-mgr (journalctl -xru ceph-mgr@<host>.service), we saw the following error: KeyError: 'm' description = f"ec:{profile['k']}+{profile['m']}" in /usr/share/ceph/mgr/prometheus/module.py. One of our erasure code profile was missing the setting "m" (which is the number of parity chunks for a chunk of data, if I understood correctly). You can see your erasure code profile using : ceph osd erasure-code-profile ls And the settings of each code profile with : ceph osd erasure-code-profile get <name> We deployed a simple fix by editing the module.py file to handle this scenario. Replace (around l.1250) if profile: description = f"ec:{profile['k']}+{profile['m']}" With if profile: if profile.get("m", None) is not None: description = f"ec:{profile['k']}+{profile['m']}" else: description = f"ec:{profile['k']}" Adrien [Site du CEA]<https://www.cea.fr/> Adrien JOUSSE Ingénieur systèmes Unix Direction de la Recherche Fondamentale (DRF) DRF/IRFU/DEDIP//LIS Centre de Saclay [Facebook]<https://fr-fr.facebook.com/cea.pageofficielle> [Youtube] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpTMWY8NRQby8zXUKhHznfg> [Twitter] <https://twitter.com/CEA_Officiel> [LinkedIn] <https://fr.linkedin.com/company/cea> [Instagram] <https://www.instagram.com/cea_officiel/>

update, burns my head down :) first level is working fine, under /mnt/pve/cephfs/shares/FOLDER/data/ server1 server2 users (in samba and smb client) one step down, not /mnt/pve/cephfs/shares/FOLDER/data/users username if i mount via ceph on the samba server /mnt/pve/cephfs/shares/FOLDER/data/users/username i see the correct quota size SRV(a)ID.cephfs=//shares/FOLDER/data/users/username 72M 0 72M 0% /srv/samba/data/username if i mount this via smb client no //SERVER/data/users/username 5.5T 3.8G 5.4T 1% /mnt3 ronny Am 2026-03-16 12:44, schrieb Chris Palmer via ceph-users: > Hi Ronny > > I use the very straightforward method of having a linux VM that > kernel-mounts the cephfs filesystem via fstab at /mnt/cephfs.
