As nautilus is nearing its EOL we are planning to do a next (maybe the
last) point release - nautilus 14.2.22 in the first part of June 2021.
If you have any code changes that are to be included pls raise PRs and
add labels "nautilus -batch1" and "needs-qa", so they can be tested
and merged in time for 14.2.22.
Thx

Hi,
With Pacific (16.2.0) out of the door we have the RBD persistent
WriteBack cache for RBD:
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rbd/rbd-persistent-write-back-cache/
Has anybody performed some benchmarks with the RBD cache?
Interested in the QD=1 bs=4k performance mainly.
I don't have any proper hardware available to run benchmarks on yet.

hi folks,
tl;dr: can we stop building/testing master on bionic for a better GCC?
long story: two months ago, we migrated[0] our CI jobs running "make
check" from ubuntu/bionic to ubuntu/focal so we have access to more
packages offered by focal for testing.
but we are still suffering[1] from the ancient packages offered by bionic:
- buggy tcmalloc. see https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/41340
- GCC 7.5.0 shipped along with ubuntu/bionic. i think the support of
std::filesystem is just the tip of the iceberg, as we've migrated to
C++17, there will be more and more demand for a compiler and a
standard library with better C++17 (and C++20 in future) support.
GCC-7 has good support[2] of C++17, but that does not imply that
libstdc++ shipped along with GCC-7 has.
but we have to build and test on bionic[3], for couple reasons:
- some upgrade tests from octopus are performed on bionic. for
instance, see https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/qa/suites/upgrade/pacific-x/parall…
- cosbench used by perf tests needs bionic: see
https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/49139
- // please note rados/thrash-old-clients/distro$/ubuntu_18.04.yaml is
safe even after we stop building master on bionic, as we've
switched[4] to cephadm for thrash-old-clients
and because of https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/50218, we cannot use
ubuntu-toolchain-r PPA repo for newer GCC.
so, i propose we
- drop building/testing master on bionic.
- drop the upgrade test from pacific on bionic
- drop the cosbench workload from rados/perf test suites
what do you think?

There's one rados topic so far, related to unfound/EIO handling
with OSD restarts, and how to test this area better. Thanks te
Jin Hase and Mykola Golub for bringing this up1

All,
We have two issues:
* https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/45574
* https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/48787
Caused by numpy not supporting Python sub-interpreters. Unfortunately, the
latter issue came up in the most recent Octopus validations. I suspect
it's just
a matter of time, till our users are affected by it.
Note that removing numpy is not easy, as kuberenetes-client depends
(transitively) on numpy.
Thoughts?

Hi Folks,
The performance meeting will be starting in about 70 minutes. Today the
only topic I have is that we'll discuss whether or not it makes sense to
do another submission for CephFS for the ISC21 IO500 competition.
Please feel free to add your own topic!
