Hi all, My cluster is in wrong state. SST files in /var/lib/ceph/mon/xxx/store.db continue growing. It claims mon are using a lot of disk space. I set "mon compact on start = true" and restart one of the monitors. But it started and campacting for a long time, seems it has no end. [image: image.png]

Your problem is the overall cluster health. The MONs store cluster history information that will be trimmed once it reaches HEALTH_OK. Restarting the MONs only makes things worse right now. The health status is a mess, no MGR, a bunch of PGs inactive, etc. This is what you need to resolve. How did your cluster end up like this? It looks like all OSDs are up and in. You need to find out - why there are inactive PGs - why there are incomplete PGs This usually happens when OSDs go missing.

MGR is stopped by me cause it took too much memories. For pg status, I added some OSDs in this cluster, and it Frank Schilder <frans(a)dtu.dk> 于2020年10月29日周四下午3:27写道：

This does not explain incomplete and inactive PGs. Are you hitting https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/46847 (see also thread "Ceph does not recover from OSD restart"?

I think you really need to sit down and explain the full story. Dropping one-liners with new information will not work via e-mail. I have never heard of the problem you are facing, so you did something that possibly no-one else has done before. Unless we know the full history from the last time the cluster was health_ok until now, it will almost certainly not be possible to figure out what is going on via e-mail. Usually, setting "norebalance" and "norecovery" should stop any recovery IO and allow the PGs to peer. If they do not become active, something is wrong and the information we got so far does not give a clue what this could be. Please post the output of "ceph health detail", "ceph osd pool stats" and "ceph osd pool ls detail" and a log of actions and results since last health_ok status here, maybe it gives a clue what is going on.

Hi, I was so anxious a few hours ago cause the sst files were growing so fast and I don't think the space on mon servers could afford it. Let me talk it from the beginning. I have a cluster with OSD deployed on SATA(7200rpm). 10T each OSD and I used ec pool for more space.I added new OSDs into the cluster last week and it has recovered well so far. After that, while the cluster is still recovering, I increased the pg_num. Besides that, the clients still write data to the server all the time. And the cluster became unhealthy last night. Some osds were down and one mon was down. Then I found the mon servers' root directories were lack of free space. The sst files in /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-xxx/store.db/ were growing rapidly.

I then follow someone's guidance, add 'mon compact on start = true' to the config and restart one mon. That mon has not joined the cluster until I added two mon deployed on virtual machines with ssd into the cluster. And now the cluster is fine except the pg status.

We hit this issue over the weekend on our HDD backed EC Nautilus cluster while removing a single OSD. We also did not have any luck using compaction. The mon-logs filled up our entire root disk on the mon servers and we were running on a single monitor for hours while we tried to finish recovery and reclaim space. The past couple weeks we also noticed "pg not scubbed in time" errors but are unsure if they are related. I'm still the exact cause of this(other than the general misplaced/degraded objects) and what kind of growth is acceptable for these store.db files. In order to get our downed mons restarted, we ended up backing up and coping the /var/lib/ceph/mon/* contents to a remote host, setting up an sshfs mount to that new host with large NVME and SSDs, ensuring the mount paths were owned by ceph, then clearing up enough space on the monitor host to start the service. This allowed our store.db directory to grow freely until the misplaced/degraded objects could recover and monitors all rejoined eventually.

Hi Alex, We found that there were a huge number of keys in the "logm" and "osdmap" table while using ceph-monstore-tool. I think that could be the root cause. Well, some pages also say that disable 'insight' module can resolve this issue, but I checked our cluster and we didn't enable this module. check this page <https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/39955>. Anyway, our cluster is unhealthy though, it just need time keep recovering data :) Thanks Alex Gracie <alexandergracie17(a)gmail.com> 于2020年10月29日周四下午10:57写道：

But that is exactly how Ceph works. It might need that very old OSDMap to get all the PGs clean again. An OSD which has been gone for a very long time and needs to catch up to make a PG clean. If not all PGs are active+clean you will and can see the MON databases grow rapidly. Therefor I always deploy 1TB SSDs in all Monitors. Not expensive anymore and they give breathing room. I always deploy physical and dedicated machines for Monitors just to prevent these cases.

Hi Wido, thanks for the explanation. I think the root cause is the disks are too slow for campaction. I add two new mon with ssd to the cluter to speed it up and the issue resolved. That's a good advice and I have plan to migrate my mon to bigger SSD disks. Thanks again. Wido den Hollander <wido(a)42on.com> 于2020年10月30日周五下午4:39写道：

Hi Alex, We found that there were a huge number of keys in the "logm" and "osdmap" table while using ceph-monstore-tool. I think that could be the root cause.

But that is exactly how Ceph works. It might need that very old OSDMap to get all the PGs clean again. An OSD which has been gone for a very long time and needs to catch up to make a PG clean. If not all PGs are active+clean you will and can see the MON databases grow rapidly. Therefor I always deploy 1TB SSDs in all Monitors. Not expensive anymore and they give breathing room. I always deploy physical and dedicated machines for Monitors just to prevent these cases. Wido

Well, some pages also say that disable 'insight' module can resolve this issue, but I checked our cluster and we didn't enable this module. check this page <https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/39955>. Anyway, our cluster is unhealthy though, it just need time keep

to start the service. This allowed our store.db directory to grow freely until the misplaced/degraded objects could recover and monitors all rejoined eventually. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users(a)ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave(a)ceph.io
