All MDTs were filled up to 100%, MDT0000 and MDT0003 were 100% full, some other showed about 98-99%:</p> <div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent"> <pre># lfs df UUID                   1K-blocks        Used   Available Use% Mounted on testfs-MDT0000_UUID    139539628   137929320           0 100% /lustre/testfs/client[MDT:0] testfs-MDT0001_UUID    139539628   131245164     5878772  96% /lustre/testfs/client[MDT:1] testfs-MDT0002_UUID    139539628   136989484      134452 100% /lustre/testfs/client[MDT:2] testfs-MDT0003_UUID    139539628   125196112    11927824  92% /lustre/testfs/client[MDT:3] testfs-MDT0004_UUID    139539628   134967276     2156660  99% /lustre/testfs/client[MDT:4] testfs-MDT0005_UUID    139539628   134893132     2230804  99% /lustre/testfs/client[MDT:5] testfs-MDT0006_UUID   1865094172   126687580  1706999696   7% /lustre/testfs/client[MDT:6] testfs-MDT0007_UUID   1865094172   131057524  1702629752   8% /lustre/testfs/client[MDT:7] </pre> </div></div> <p>FS was filled with striped dirs(4-wide) and many files most of which are remote.

update llogs consume all MDT space

Bug Major Open Unresolved WC Triage Mikhail Pershin Mon, 22 May 2023 22:05:26 +0000 Tue, 23 May 2023 01:03:55 +0000 0 6 <p>it is not clear what caused ENOSPC exactly - client files or internal data in update logs. It can be that update logs problem make them grow endlessly or maybe they weren't able to proceed due to lack of space.</p> <p>I think there are several problems to review:</p> <ul> <li> we need to track somehow how update logs are consuming space, some visible stats are needed like for changelog - amount of plains in each catalog and space consumed, amount of orphaned plain llogs (without refs in any catalog)</li> </ul> <ul class="alternate" type="square"> <li>we have to reserve space for update llog operations, which would be not used by clients, so update llogs could be updated even when clients get ENOSPC to prevent partial writes</li> </ul> <ul class="alternate" type="square"> <li>should'n we prevent update llog to grow over some limit? E.g. if they are full, switch to synced DNE or reduce amount of DNE ops somehow else?</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://jira.whamcloud.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=tappro" class="user-hover" rel="tappro">tappro</a></p> <p>How can we work around this situation when it happens?</p> <p>Definitely we should NOT be testing with default DNE striped directories. That is just a problem waiting to happen, hurts performance, and not something we want anyone to ever use in production for any reason, even if <a href="https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-10329" title="DNE3: REMOTE_PARENT_DIR scalability" class="issue-link" data-issue-key="LU-10329">LU-10329</a> is fixed.</p> <p>Mike, the DNE update logs <b>should</b> be sync'd within a fraction of a second, and cancelled within a few seconds after creation once committed on all MDTs, unless an MDS crashes in the middle of the distributed operation. The log files themselves might stick around for some time until the llog is no longer in use, but that should mean only 1-2 llogs per MDT at any time. If there are lots of llog files accumulating then something is going wrong with the DNE recovery mechanism, and/or the llogs are being corrupted.</p> <p>Note that the MDT already has some way to reserve space for critical local usage, but it is very small (e.g tens of KB, enough to delete a few files), but might need to be increased for larger MDTs with DNE.</p> Development Rank 1|i03m0n: Rank (Obsolete) 9223372036854775807 Severity
