Hi Ingo,

If you are able and have lots of available memory, could you also try setting it to false but increasing the osd_memory_target size?  I'd like to understand a little bit deeper what's going on here.  Ultimately I don't want our only line of defense against slow snap trimming to be having page cache available!

Hi Stefan, Hi Manuel,

thanks for your quick advices.

In fact, since i set "ceph config set osd bluefs_buffered_io true", the 
problems disappeared. We have lots of RAM in our osd hosts, so buffering is ok. I`ll trak 
this issue down further after the weekend!

best regards,
Ingo

It might be related to the change that is mentioned in another thread:
"block.db/block.wal device performance dropped after upgrade to 14.2.10"

TL;DR:  bluefs_buffered_io has been changed to "false" in 14.2.10. It
doesn't use buffer cache in that case, and in certain workloads (i.e.
snap trimming) this seem to have a big impact, even for environments
that have large osd_memory_target.

I would change that back to "true" ("ceph config set osd
bluefs_buffered_io true" should do the trick). Not sure if the OSDs need
a restart afterwards, as the config change seem to be effectve
immediately for running daemons.

Gr. Stefan
