[ceph-users] Re: Cephfs snapshots in Nautilus

Hi Marc, thank you for the response. Since upgrading to nautilus I also encounter the cache pressure warnings while doing tape backup of the filesystem, so it is probably not related to snapshots. Anyone else who likes to share his experience with cephfs snapshots?

Under luminious I did not encounter any problems with this setup. I think I was even snapshotting user dirs every 7 days having thousands of snapshots (which I later heard, is not recommend and one should stick below 400 or so?) When upgrading to nautilus, this snapshot feature was disabled (that is default in the upgrade). Did not notice nor expected this. When I enabled again snapshotting. I had problems with the rsync backup. So I reverted back to the slower ceph-fuse mount. I also brought down the snapshots to 36, but I am still stuck with "clients failing to respond to capability release", "clients failing to respond to cache pressure" and "MDSs report slow requests" Which is odd, since my use did not change since luminous. All in all is fine, but what I do not like is, that such a thing can happen between upgrades. -----Original Message----- From: Stolte, Felix [mailto:f.stolte@fz-juelich.de] Sent: 06 May 2020 09:09 To: ceph-users(a)ceph.io Subject: [ceph-users] Cephfs snapshots in Nautilus Hi Folks, I really like to use snapshots on cephfs, but even on octopus release snapshots are still marked as an experimental feature. Is anyone using snapshots in production environments? Which issues did you encounter? Do I risk a corrupted filesystem or just non-working snapshots? We run a single fs with one active mds.
