When you delete a snapshot, Ceph places the removed snapshot into a list in the OSD map and places the objects in the snapshot into a snap_trim_q. Once those 2 things are done, the RBD command returns and you are moving onto the next snapshot. The snap_trim_q is an n^2 operation (like all deletes in Ceph), which means that if the queue has 100 objects on it and takes 5 minutes to complete, then having 200 objects in the queue will take 25 minutes. (exaggerated time frames to show math) This same behavior can be seen when deleting an RBD that has 100,000 objects vs 200,000 objects, it takes twice as long (note that object map mitigates this greatly by ignoring any object that hasn't been created, so the previous test would be easiest to duplicate by disabling the object map on the test RBDs).
So paying attention to snapshot sizes as you clean them up is more important than how many snapshots you clean up. Being on Jewel, you don't really want to use osd_snap_trim_sleep as it literally puts a sleep onto the main op threads for the OSD. In Hammer this setting was much more useful (if not super hacky) and in Luminous the entire process was revamped and (hopefully) fixed. Jewel is pretty much not viable for large quantities of snapshots, but there are ways to get through them. The following thread on the ML is one of the most informative on this problem in Jewel. The second link is the resuming of the thread months later after the fix was scheduled for backporting into 10.2.8. http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2017-January/015675.html http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2017-April/017697.html On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 4:02 PM Kenneth Van Alstyne < kvanalst...@knightpoint.com> wrote: > Hey folks: > I was wondering if the community can provide any advice — over > time and due to some external issues, we have managed to accumulate > thousands of snapshots of RBD images, which are now in need of cleaning > up.
