Thanks for your quick response!
The ceph-common version is 18.2.0 (Ubuntu Jammy). I tried the same within cephadm shell (19.2.3) and there I get a "operation not permitted":
root@ceph-osd-1:/# ceph -v ceph version 19.2.3 (c92aebb279828e9c3c1f5d24613efca272649e62) squid (stable)
root@ceph-osd-1:/# cephfs-journal-tool --rank=cephfs:0 event get list Error ((1) Operation not permitted2026-06-19T09:26:02.373+0000 7f25d078b380 -1 main: Cannot run cephfs-journal-tool on an active file system! )
Why can I list events from outside the shell? I'm a bit surprised.
Because of "Cannot run cephfs-journal-tool on an active file system!". This check was added because some users ran the tool (with other arguments) on an active file system, which caused various issues. Do a `ceph fs fail ...` and the tool should work.

Hi,
I am currently looking into MDS warnings (behind on trimming) on a customer cluster. They recently upgraded to Squid 19.2.3 which seems to have fixed a bug with trimming, so the warning doesn't come that often anymore (if at all currently). But when digging a bit deeper, I noticed these messages in the event get list output:
cephfs-journal-tool --rank=cephfs:0 event get list | head 2026-06-18T13:12:22.821+0000 7fec1b5ff280 0 uh oh, unknown log event type 100 length 14 2026-06-18T13:12:22.833+0000 7fec1b5ff280 0 uh oh, unknown log event type 100 length 14
What version is cephfs-journal-tool (--version) and is it the same version as (or close to) the ceph cluster?
That message is repeated 118 times or so before dumping the actual event list. I looked at the code for 19.2.0 [0] and 19.2.3 [1], in both cases event type 100 seems to be defined:
#define EVENT_SEGMENT 100
So why is it unknown? It doesn't appear to have any negative impact, at least noone has complained yet, but I still wanted to ask what this is about. Can I ignore this? Will that go away on its own at some point?
Any pointers are appreciated!
Thanks! Eugen
