We made some tests, performances are really better with KRBD, but the questions is: is it safe to be enabled in production (how is the cache managed in case of power outage)? Many thanks

I think the default thread is 16. I made the test with a single thread, performance is comparable with the VM: Is it safe to enable writeback mode on VM cache? What kind of side effects could we have in case of power loss or problems with the node running the VM? Also KRBD si safe to be...

Already tried KRBD but with no gain in terms of read performance. The VM disk is in Default (no cache) mode.

Ok thanks

Hi, I made some benchmark on our cluster, for some reason we have very slow disk perfomance inside the VM if compared with rados bench test performed in the same pool. That is the result of rados bench 30 write -b 4M -t 16 -p test_pool And that is a dd write performed inside a VM running on...

I have another question. "auto" should be set on all interfaces? or only on particular one? This could be the cause with MTU not being set? Also: Ip address should be set, as done, on bridge (vmbr) or should be set on bond (tagged with vlan)? I tried the configuration with the two fixes above...

you are right, I'll fix that. Thanks

I will try not to set it on the underlying interfaces. I'm checking MTU current size with "ip link show" command. Switch are already set with maximum MTU size.

Hi, since the last update to Ceph 15.2.14, Ceph Manager (the node with the active instance) is leaking resources: day by day memory consumption costantly increases on that process. Here is the graph of available memory on the active node (yesterday I restarted the Ceph manager on that node, and...

Hi, i'm trying to enable jumbo frames on our infrastructure in order to gain benefit for Ceph performance, unfortunately there is no way to make jumbo frames works in our situation. When I set mtu 9000 on network configuration, interfaces are not going up with that MTU but with the default one...

Think no, cluster health is ok and no activity is performing in background. Must be something else maybe.

Hi, a few days ago we upgraded our 5 nodes cluster to Proxmox 6 (from 5.4) and Ceph to Octopus (Luminous to Nautilus and after that Nautilus to Octopus). After the upgrade we noticed that all VMs started to raise alerts on our Zabbix monitoring system with reason "Disk I/O is overloaded". This...

Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem... I can see i/O wait spikes on Zabbix also for various VMs on cluster after Proxmox 6 and Ceph upgrade. Here is a sample graph, we made the update when spikes becomes higher: Any idea why? Is there a solution? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to study in deep the problem. The strange thing is that when I installed Ubuntu 18.04, during install process, I disabled automatic upgrades.

Hi, Anyone knows if it is possible to disable cloud unit apt auto upgrades inside VMs? I have many Ubuntu 18.04 VMs configured with cloud init in Proxmox, and kernel updates are started automatically, so after a reboot I find a new kernel version. I don't want so because every time I have to...
