Hi Reto, hi Bill I found this PR that was merged after v20.2.0 was tagged. https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/66021 I'm running Tentacle on Ubuntu Jammy without cephadm, with EC 6+2 and FastEC enabled. I'm getting inconsistent PGs with errors like these: 3.336s0 shard 25(5) soid 3:6cc82c0a:::10002107475.0000002c:head : size 700416 != size 696320 from auth oi 3:6cc82c0a:::10002107475.0000002c:head(2830345'2540087 osd.41.2825431:3886213 dirty|data_digest s 4194304 uv 17841689 dd 8f22c13e alloc_hint [0 0 0]) 3.336s0 shard 13(4) soid 3:6cc1c47e:::10002585665.0000045e:10279 : size 700416 != size 696320 from auth oi 3:6cc1c47e:::10002585665.0000045e:10279(2905787'3123318 osd.41.2896446:3729885 dirty|data_digest s 4194304 uv 23445132 dd 365ee4af alloc_hint [0 0 0] shard_versions={1: 2904402'3115959, 2: 2904402'3115959, 3: 2904402'3115959, 4: 2904402'3115959, 5: 2904402'3115959}) 3.336s0 shard 13(4) soid 3:6cc1f637:::20000007ea9.000008fb:bd : size 700416 != size 696320 from auth oi 3:6cc1f637:::20000007ea9.000008fb:bd(45314'680679 client.124476.0:17244371 dirty|data_digest s 4194304 uv 274244 dd 9f754009 alloc_hint [0 0 0]) 3.336 shard 13(4) soid 3:6cc82c71:::1000098dda0.00000237:head : candidate size 700416 info size 696320 mismatch 3.336 shard 60(1) soid 3:6cde2c17:::20001b3c880.00000000:head : candidate size 4096 info size 0 mismatch 3.336 shard 13(4) soid 3:6cde2eb0:::100000d68b9.0000000b:head : candidate size 622592 info size 618496 mismatch All these errors have something to do with size. When I restart the OSDs the cluster is healthy until some scrub picks this up again. The data seems ok. It seems like the fix is not in the tentacle release. Is there a future release with fixes for this planned? Regards Eric On Fri, 5 Dec 2025 at 16:34, Reto Gysi via ceph-users <ceph-users@ceph.io> wrote:

Hi Reto,
Sorry to hear about your problems with turning on ec optimizations. I've led the team that developed this feature, so we are keen to help understand what happened to your system.
Your configuration looks fine as far as being supported with ec optimizations. The daemons (mons, osds and mgr) need to be running tentacle code to use this feature, there is no requirement to update any of your clients.
Do you have any more examples of the inconsistent objects logs that you can share with me?
There was a bug that we fixed late in the development cycle which was scrubbing incorrectly reporting a size mismatch for objects written prior to turning on optimizations. This is because prior to turning on optimizations objects are padded to a multiple of the stripe_width, afterwards objects are no longer padded. The scrub code was occasionally getting confused and incorrectly reporting an inconsistency. In this case the scrub was reporting false positive errors - there was nothing wrong with the data and no problems accessing the data. I notice the log you shared in the email was for a size mismatch, I'm interested whether all the logs were for mismatched sizes. We will do some further work to confirm that the fix is in the 20.2.0 tentacle release and that there are no problems with the back port.
As far I could see the errors where all about the mismatched sizes.
You also mention that you saw some OSD crashes. Do you have any further information about these?
I just could cause another crash with starting up a windows VM, and doing a WIndows file history backup to a drive that is on an RBD Image on pool rbd_ecpool where I had the allow_ec_optimization flag enabled.
