Yep, that’s why you want to use upmap-remapped. Otherwise the thundering herd of data shuffling will DoS your client traffic, esp. since you’re using spinners. Count on pretty much all data moving in the process, and the convergence taking …. maybe a week? > On Pacific: Data is marked as "degraded", and not misplaced as expected.

I’m not specifically familiar with such a change, but that could be mainly cosmetic, a function of how the percentage is calculated for objects / PGs that are multiply remapped. In the depths of time I had clusters that would sometimes show a negative number of RADOS objects to recover, it would bounce above and below zero a few times as it converged to 0. > Instead balancing has been done by a cron job executing - ceph osd > reweight-by-utilization 112 0.05 30 I used a similar strategy with older releases. Note that this will complicate your transition, as those relative weights are a function of the CRUSH topology, so when the topology changes, likely some reweighted OSDs will get much less than their fair share, and some will get much more. How full is your cluster (ceph df)? It might not be a bad idea to incrementally revert those all to 1.00000 if you have the capacity, and disable the cron job. You’ll also likely want to switch to the balancer module for the upmap-remapped strategy to incrementally move your data around. Did you have it disabled for a specific reason? Updating to Reef before migrating might be to your advantage so that you can benefit from performance and efficiency improvements since Pacific. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
