Hi All,
back to this. Dan, it seems we're following exactly in your footsteps.
We recovered from our large pg_log, and got the cluster running. A week after our cluster
was ok, we started seeing big memory increases again. I don't know if we had
buffer_anon issues before or if our big pg_logs were masking it. But we started seeing
bluefs spillover and buffer_anon growth.
This led to whole other series of problems with OOM killing, which probably resulted in
mon node db growth which filled the disk, which resulted in all mons going down, and a
bigger mess of bringing everything up.
However. We're back. But I think we can confirm the buffer_anon growth, and bluefs
spillover.
We now have a job that constatly writes 10k objects in a buckets and deletes them.
This may curb the memory growth, but I don't think it stops the problem. We're
just testing restarting OSDs and while it takes a while, it seems it may help. Of course
this is not the greatest fix in production.
Has anybody gleaned any new information on this issue? Things to tweaks? Fixes in the
horizon? Other mitigations?
Cheers,
Kalle
