[ceph-users] Re: ceph slow at 80% full, mds nodes lots of unused memory

Hi we've been running our Ceph cluster for nearly 2 years now (Nautilus) and recently, due to a temporary situation the cluster is at 80% full. We are only using CephFS on the cluster. Normally, I realize we should be adding OSD nodes, but this is a temporary situation, and I expect the cluster to go to <60% full quite soon. Anyway, we are noticing some really problematic slowdowns. There are some things that could be related but we are unsure... - Our 2 MDS nodes (1 active, 1 standby) are configured with 128GB RAM, but are not using more than 2GB, this looks either very inefficient, or wrong ;-)

"ceph config dump |grep mds": mds basic mds_cache_memory_limit 107374182400 mds advanced mds_max_scrub_ops_in_progress 10 Perhaps we require more or different settings to properly use the MDS memory? - On all our OSD nodes, the memory line is red in "atop", though no swap is in use, it seems the memory on the OSD nodes is taking quite a beating, is this normal, or can we tweak settings to make it less stressed? This is the first time we are having performance issues like this, I think, I'd like to learn some commands to help me analyse this... I hope this will ring a bell with someone...
