Hi, ceph-16.2.9 I've added some new osds - some added to existing hosts and some on newly-commissioned hosts. The new osds were added to the data side of an existing EC 8.3 pool. I've been waiting for the system to finish remapping / backfilling for some time. Originally the number of remapped pgs and objects misplaced was steadily decreasing. However in the last few days both remapped pgs and objects misplaced have increased several times. Both then steadily decrease before jumping up again. See below for some details on this. I'm guessing these are associated stats, i.e. the number of objects misplaced reflects the objects in the remapped pgs so it's not surprising they're moving in concert. I thought at first that this cycling might be due to the balancer (which was enabled), but the cycling is continuing after the balancer was disabled, e.g.: $ ts; ceph balancer status 2023-02-09 12:39:14 { "active": true, "last_optimize_duration": "0:00:00.000313", "last_optimize_started": "Thu Feb 9 01:38:55 2023", "mode": "upmap", "optimize_result": "Too many objects (0.078537 > 0.050000) are misplaced; try again later", "plans": [] } $ ts; ceph balancer off 2023-02-09 13:03:27 ceph balancer off 4 days later, the balancer is still inactive, and "last_optimize_started" indicates it hasn't run since before it was turned off: $ ts; ceph balancer status 2023-02-13 10:18:18 { "active": false, "last_optimize_duration": "0:00:00.000420", "last_optimize_started": "Thu Feb 9 02:02:56 2023", "mode": "upmap", "optimize_result": "Too many objects (0.078101 > 0.050000) are misplaced; try again later", "plans": [] } Since the balancer was turned off the cycling continues: "misplaced" gets down to 5% and then rapidly increases to 9%, in conjunction with "starting backfill" messages, before starting to slowly decrease once again. See below for a log extract. Is this "sawtooth" pattern of remapped pgs and misplaced objects a normal consequence of adding OSDs? Will it eventually settle done itself or do I need to "do something"? Is there some way of telling how much work remains until it all settles down? Cheers, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # # General health # scrubs disabled until added OSDs complete backfilling etc. # $ ceph -s cluster: id: c6618970-0ce0-4cb2-bc9a-dd5f29b62e24 health: HEALTH_WARN noout,noscrub,nodeep-scrub flag(s) set 5945 pgs not deep-scrubbed in time 5945 pgs not scrubbed in time 5 slow ops, oldest one blocked for 464 sec, mon.k2 has slow ops services: mon: 5 daemons, quorum k2,b2,b4,k1,b5 (age 5d) mgr: b4(active, since 3M), standbys: b5, b2 osd: 82 osds: 82 up (since 2w), 82 in (since 2w);
