Hi, The cluster I'm writing about has a long history (months) of instability mainly related to large RocksDB database and high memory consumption. The use-case is RGW with an EC8+3 pool for data. In the last months this cluster has been suffering from OSDs using much more memory then osd_memory_target and mainly allocated in buffer_anon. After removing a lot of data from the cluster and re-installing all OSDs there is one thing remaining: High memory usage when *NOT* writing data to the cluster. There is a script running which keeps writing data to RADOS in a slow pace. Once this stops we are observing the memory usage of the OSDs grow steadily and also see the RocksDB databases of the BlueStore OSDs grow. Once we start to write again memory usage (buffer_annon) reduces. I think this is related to the pglogs, but even trimming all the pglogs does not solve this issue. Has anybody seen this before or has any clues where to start looking? Ceph version 14.2.8 Wido
