Re: [ceph-users] Enabling Jumbo Frames on ceph cluser

I'm no expert but maybe another test might be iperf and watch your cpu utilization while doing it You can set iperf to run between a couple monitors and OSD servers Try setting it at 1500 or your switch's stock MTU then put the servers at 9000 and the switch at 9128 (for packet overhead/managem

Re: [ceph-users] Some OSDs are down after Server reboot

We're running journals on NVMe as well - SLES before rebooting try deleting the links here: /etc/systemd/system/ceph-osd.target.wants/ if we delete first it boots ok if we don't delete the disks sometimes don't come up and we have to ceph-disk activate all HTH Thanks Joe >>> David Turne
