Re: Upgrade Advice: Ceph Reef (18.2.7) to Squid (19.2.3) on Proxmox VMs
Hi Văn Trần, For msg30399.html <https://www.mail-archive.com/ceph-users@ceph.io/msg30399.html>, the root cause is unknown and likely specific to the user's environment. For msg31238.html <https://www.mail-archive.com/ceph-users@ceph.io/msg31238.html>, the impact is noticeable on clusters with a high density of OSDs per node. With 7 OSDs per node, you likely won't notice it. It's being investigated here [1]. For tracker #70390 <https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/70390>, it only impacts OSDs created in Squid, so you're safe. Just make sure to disable bluestore_elastic_shared_blobs with 'ceph config set osd bluestore_elastic_shared_blobs 0' right after the upgrade; this ensures that newly created or recreated OSDs will be safe as well. Regarding Squid critical bugs, I recommend reading this list, which we will update periodically [2]. Best regards, Frédéric.

Hi Ceph Users,
I am planning a major upgrade for our production cluster from Reef (18.2.7) to Squid (19.2.3) and would like to seek advice regarding stability and potential risks.
Infrastructure Overview:
+ Deployment: Cephadm. + Cluster Size: 7 Nodes total. + Hardware/Virtualization: Each node is a Virtual Machine hosted on Proxmox. + OSD Layout: 7 OSDs total (7 OSD per node). + Other Daemons: 5 MONs, 7 MDSs, 3 MGRs. Services include RGW, CephFS, and Block Devices. + Pool Type: Replicated.
The Concern: We are currently running stable on Reef 18.2.7. However, I have been following recent discussions on the mailing list and tracker regarding critical failures when upgrading to Squid, specifically concerning OSD crashes and data corruption. I am particularly worried about the issues reported in these threads, where users experienced failures during or after the upgrade: + https://www.mail-archive.com/ceph-users@ceph.io/msg30399.html + https://www.mail-archive.com/ceph-users@ceph.io/msg31238.html + https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/70390
Given our deployment topology and the jump to a new major version (Squid), I have a few questions: + Stability & Success Stories: Is Ceph Squid 19.2.3 considered safe regarding the OSD crash/corruption bugs mentioned in the links above? Has anyone in the community successfully completed the upgrade from 18.2.7 to 19.2.3 without issues? Confirmation of a clean upgrade path would be very reassuring. + Upgrade Path: Are there any known regressions or critical "gotchas" when moving from 18.2.7 directly to 19.2.3 in a virtualized environment?
Any experiences or warnings from those running Squid in similar environments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Van Tran _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@ceph.io
