Hi guys,
Did anyone figure out what could be causing this problem and a workaround? I've noticed a very annoying behaviour with my vms. It seems to happen randomly about 5-10 times a day and the pauses last between 2-10 minutes. It happens across all vms on all host servers in my cluster. I am running 0.67.4 on ubuntu 12.04 with 3.11 kernel from backports. Initially i though that these pauses are caused by the scrubbing issue reported by Mike, however, I've also noticed the stalls when the cluster is not scrubbing. Both of my osd servers are pretty idle (load around 1 to 2) with osds are less than 10% utilised. Unlike Uwe's case, I am not using iscsi, but plain rbd with qemu and I do not see any i/o errors in dmesg or kernel panics. the vms just freeze and become unresponsive, so i can't ssh into it or do simple commands like ls. VMs do respond to pings though.

We have a cluster consisting of 6 storagenodes containing 70 osds (JBOD configuration). We created several rbd devices and mapped them on dedicated server and exporting them via targetcli. This iscsi target are connected to Citrix XenServer 6.1 (with HF30) and XenServer 6.2 (HF4). In the last time some disks died. After this some errors occured on this dedicated iscsitarget: Oct 23 15:19:42 targetcli01 kernel: [673836.709887] end_request: I/O error, dev rbd4, sector 2034037064 Oct 23 15:19:42 targetcli01 kernel: [673836.713596] test_bit(BIO_UPTODATE) failed for bio: ffff880127546c00, err: -6 Oct 23 15:19:43 targetcli01 kernel: [673837.497382] end_request: I/O error, dev rbd4, sector 2034037064 Oct 23 15:19:43 targetcli01 kernel: [673837.501323] test_bit(BIO_UPTODATE) failed for bio: ffff880124d933c0, err: -6 These errors go through up to the virtual machines and lead to readonly filesystems. We could trigger this behavior with set one disk to out. We are using Ubuntu 13.04 with latest stable ceph (ceph version 0.67.4 (ad85b8bfafea6232d64cb7ba76a8b6e8252fa0c7) Our ceph.conf is like this: [global] filestore_xattr_use_omap = true mon_host = 10.200.20.1,10.200.20.2,10.200.20.3 osd_journal_size = 1024 public_network = 10.200.40.0/16 mon_initial_members = ceph-mon01, ceph-mon02, ceph-mon03 cluster_network = 10.210.40.0/16 auth_supported = none fsid = 9283e647-2b57-4077-b427-0d3d656233b3 [osd] osd_max_backfills = 4 osd_recovery_max_active = 1 [osd.0] public_addr = 10.200.40.1 cluster_addr = 10.210.40.1 .... .... After the first outage we set osd_max_backfill to 8, after the second one to 4 but it didn't help. It seems like it is the bug mentioned at http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/6278 . The problem is, that this is a production environment and the problems began after we moved several VMs to it. In our test environment we can't reproduct it but we are working on a larger testinstallation. Does anybody have an idea how to investigate further without destroying virtual machines? ;) Sometimes these IO errors lead to kernel panics on the iscsi target machine. The targetcli/lio config is a simple default config without any tuning or big configurations.
