How many active MDS's did you have? (max_mds == 1, right?) Stop the other two MDS's so you can focus on getting exactly one running. Tail the log file and see what it is reporting. Increase mds_beacon_grace to 600 so that the mon doesn't fail this MDS while it is rejoining. Is that single MDS running out of memory during the rejoin phase? -- dan On Fri, Dec 4, 2020 at 10:49 AM Anton Aleksandrov <anton(a)aleksandrov.eu> wrote: > > Hello community, > > we are on ceph 13.2.8 - today something happenned with one MDS and cephs > status tells, that filesystem is degraded.

Please also make sure the mds_beacon_grace is high on the mon's too. it doesn't matter which mds you select to be the running one. Is the processing getting killed, restarted? If you're confident that the mds is getting OOM killed during rejoin step, then you might find this useful: http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2018-August/028964.html Stop all MDS, then: # rados -p cephfs_metadata_pool rm mds0_openfiles.0 then start one MDS. -- Dan On Fri, Dec 4, 2020 at 11:05 AM Anton Aleksandrov <anton(a)aleksandrov.eu> wrote: > > Yes, MDS eats all memory+swap, stays like this for a moment and then > frees memory. > > mds_beacon_grace was already set to 1800 > > Also on other it is seen this message: Map has assigned me to become a > standby. > > Does it matter, which MDS we stop and which we leave running? > > Anton > > > On 04.12.2020 11:53, Dan van der Ster wrote: > > How many active MDS's did you have?

Hi Janek, I'd love to hear your standard maintenance procedures. Are you cleaning up those open files outside of "rejoin" OOMs ? I guess we're pretty lucky with our CephFS's because we have more than 1k clients and it is pretty solid (though the last upgrade had a hiccup decreasing down to single active MDS). -- Dan On Fri, Dec 4, 2020 at 8:20 PM Janek Bevendorff <janek.bevendorff(a)uni-weimar.de> wrote: > > This is very common issue.

We very rarely restart MDSs, and only recently upgraded to nautilus (from L) so haven't yet had many opportunities to see how often we'll suffer this rejoin issue on our most active cluster. (Only one of our test clusters saw this happen so far, during mimic days, and this provoked us to move all MDSs to 64GB VMs, with mds cache mem limit = 4GB, so there is a large amount of RAM available in case it's needed. BTW the PR introduces a new option `mds_oft_prefetch_dirfrags`; it remains to be seen exactly how true/false impacts memory consumption. What do the crashes look like with the TF training? Do you have a tracker? How many client sessions do need to crash an MDS? It works afaict. We needed mds beacon grace = several thousand seconds to survive a 30 minute MDS outage, without any failover to standby. This happened during our L->N upgrade, due to some MDS export extreme slowness. Cheers, Dan P.S. I've seen an older thread of yours about tuning caps recall.
