Notice

This document is for a development version of Ceph.

OSD Config Reference

You can configure Ceph OSD Daemons in the Ceph configuration file (or in recent releases, the central config store), but Ceph OSD Daemons can use the default values and a very minimal configuration. A minimal Ceph OSD Daemon configuration sets host and uses default values for nearly everything else.

Ceph OSD Daemons are numerically identified in incremental fashion, beginning with 0 using the following convention.

osd.0
osd.1
osd.2

In a configuration file, you may specify settings for all Ceph OSD Daemons in the cluster by adding configuration settings to the [osd] section of your configuration file. To add settings directly to a specific Ceph OSD Daemon (e.g., host), enter it in an OSD-specific section of your configuration file. For example:

[osd]
        osd_journal_size = 5120

[osd.0]
        host = osd-host-a

[osd.1]
        host = osd-host-b

General Settings

The following settings provide a Ceph OSD Daemon’s ID, and determine paths to data and journals. Ceph deployment scripts typically generate the UUID automatically.

Warning

DO NOT change the default paths for data or journals, as it makes it more problematic to troubleshoot Ceph later.

When using Filestore, the journal size should be at least twice the product of the expected drive speed multiplied by filestore_max_sync_interval. However, the most common practice is to partition the journal drive (often an SSD), and mount it such that Ceph uses the entire partition for the journal.

osd_uuid

The universally unique identifier (UUID) for the Ceph OSD Daemon.

type

uuid

Note

The osd_uuid applies to a single Ceph OSD Daemon. The fsid applies to the entire cluster.

osd_data

The path to the OSDs data. You must create the directory when deploying Ceph. You should mount a drive for OSD data at this mount point. We do not recommend changing the default.

File System Settings

Ceph builds and mounts file systems which are used for Ceph OSDs.

osd_mkfs_options {fs-type}

Description

Options used when creating a new Ceph Filestore OSD of type {fs-type}.

Type

String

Default for xfs

-f -i 2048

Default for other file systems

{empty string}

For example::

osd_mkfs_options_xfs = -f -d agcount=24

osd_mount_options {fs-type}

Description

Options used when mounting a Ceph Filestore OSD of type {fs-type}.

Type

String

Default for xfs

rw,noatime,inode64

Default for other file systems

rw, noatime

For example::

osd_mount_options_xfs = rw, noatime, inode64, logbufs=8

Journal Settings

This section applies only to the older Filestore OSD back end. Since Luminous BlueStore has been default and preferred.

By default, Ceph expects that you will provision a Ceph OSD Daemon’s journal at the following path, which is usually a symlink to a device or partition:

/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id/journal

When using a single device type (for example, spinning drives), the journals should be colocated: the logical volume (or partition) should be in the same device as the data logical volume.

When using a mix of fast (SSDs, NVMe) devices with slower ones (like spinning drives) it makes sense to place the journal on the faster device, while data occupies the slower device fully.

The default osd_journal_size value is 5120 (5 gigabytes), but it can be larger, in which case it will need to be set in the ceph.conf file. A value of 10 gigabytes is common in practice:

osd_journal_size = 10240
osd_journal

The path to the OSD’s journal. This may be a path to a file or a block device (such as a partition of an SSD). If it is a file, you must create the directory to contain it. We recommend using a separate fast device when the osd_data drive is an HDD.

type

str

default

/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id/journal

osd_journal_size

The size of the journal in megabytes.

type

size

default

5Ki

See Journal Config Reference for additional details.

Monitor OSD Interaction

Ceph OSD Daemons check each other’s heartbeats and report to monitors periodically. Ceph can use default values in many cases. However, if your network has latency issues, you may need to adopt longer intervals. See Configuring Monitor/OSD Interaction for a detailed discussion of heartbeats.

Data Placement

See Pool & PG Config Reference for details.

Scrubbing

One way that Ceph ensures data integrity is by “scrubbing” placement groups. Ceph scrubbing is analogous to fsck on the object storage layer. Ceph generates a catalog of all objects in each placement group and compares each primary object to its replicas, ensuring that no objects are missing or mismatched. Light scrubbing checks the object size and attributes, and is usually done daily. Deep scrubbing reads the data and uses checksums to ensure data integrity, and is usually done weekly. The frequencies of both light scrubbing and deep scrubbing are determined by the cluster’s configuration, which is fully under your control and subject to the settings explained below in this section.

Although scrubbing is important for maintaining data integrity, it can reduce the performance of the Ceph cluster. You can adjust the following settings to increase or decrease the frequency and depth of scrubbing operations.

osd_op_queue

This sets the type of queue to be used for prioritizing ops within each OSD. Both queues feature a strict sub-queue which is dequeued before the normal queue. The normal queue is different between implementations. The WeightedPriorityQueue (wpq) dequeues operations in relation to their priorities to prevent starvation of any queue. WPQ should help in cases where a few OSDs are more overloaded than others. The mClockQueue (mclock_scheduler) prioritizes operations based on which class they belong to (recovery, scrub, snaptrim, client op, osd subop). See QoS Based on mClock. Requires a restart.

type

str

default

mclock_scheduler

valid choices

  • mclock_scheduler

  • debug_random

see also

osd_op_queue_cut_off

osd_op_queue_cut_off

This selects which priority ops will be sent to the strict queue verses the normal queue. The low setting sends all replication ops and higher to the strict queue, while the high option sends only replication acknowledgment ops and higher to the strict queue. Setting this to high should help when a few OSDs in the cluster are very busy especially when combined with wpq in the osd_op_queue setting. OSDs that are very busy handling replication traffic could starve primary client traffic on these OSDs without these settings. Requires a restart.

QoS Based on mClock

Ceph’s use of mClock is now more refined and can be used by following the steps as described in mClock Config Reference.

Core Concepts

Ceph’s QoS support is implemented using a queueing scheduler based on the dmClock algorithm. This algorithm allocates the I/O resources of the Ceph cluster in proportion to weights, and enforces the constraints of minimum reservation and maximum limitation, so that the services can compete for the resources fairly. Currently the mclock_scheduler operation queue divides Ceph services involving I/O resources into following buckets:

  • client op: the iops issued by client

  • osd subop: the iops issued by primary OSD

  • snap trim: the snap trimming related requests

  • pg recovery: the recovery related requests

  • pg scrub: the scrub related requests

And the resources are partitioned using following three sets of tags. In other words, the share of each type of service is controlled by three tags:

  1. reservation: the minimum IOPS allocated for the service.

  2. limitation: the maximum IOPS allocated for the service.

  3. weight: the proportional share of capacity if extra capacity or system oversubscribed.

In Ceph, operations are graded with “cost”. And the resources allocated for serving various services are consumed by these “costs”. So, for example, the more reservation a services has, the more resource it is guaranteed to possess, as long as it requires. Assuming there are 2 services: recovery and client ops:

  • recovery: (r:1, l:5, w:1)

  • client ops: (r:2, l:0, w:9)

The settings above ensure that the recovery won’t get more than 5 requests per second serviced, even if it requires so (see CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION NOTE below), and no other services are competing with it. But if the clients start to issue large amount of I/O requests, neither will they exhaust all the I/O resources. 1 request per second is always allocated for recovery jobs as long as there are any such requests. So the recovery jobs won’t be starved even in a cluster with high load. And in the meantime, the client ops can enjoy a larger portion of the I/O resource, because its weight is “9”, while its competitor “1”. In the case of client ops, it is not clamped by the limit setting, so it can make use of all the resources if there is no recovery ongoing.

CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: the current implementation enforces the limit values. Therefore, if a service crosses the enforced limit, the op remains in the operation queue until the limit is restored.

Subtleties of mClock

The reservation and limit values have a unit of requests per second. The weight, however, does not technically have a unit and the weights are relative to one another. So if one class of requests has a weight of 1 and another a weight of 9, then the latter class of requests should get 9 executed at a 9 to 1 ratio as the first class. However that will only happen once the reservations are met and those values include the operations executed under the reservation phase.

Even though the weights do not have units, one must be careful in choosing their values due how the algorithm assigns weight tags to requests. If the weight is W, then for a given class of requests, the next one that comes in will have a weight tag of 1/W plus the previous weight tag or the current time, whichever is larger. That means if W is sufficiently large and therefore 1/W is sufficiently small, the calculated tag may never be assigned as it will get a value of the current time. The ultimate lesson is that values for weight should not be too large. They should be under the number of requests one expects to be serviced each second.

Caveats

There are some factors that can reduce the impact of the mClock op queues within Ceph. First, requests to an OSD are sharded by their placement group identifier. Each shard has its own mClock queue and these queues neither interact nor share information among them. The number of shards can be controlled with the configuration options osd_op_num_shards, osd_op_num_shards_hdd, and osd_op_num_shards_ssd. A lower number of shards will increase the impact of the mClock queues, but may have other deleterious effects. This is especially the case if there are insufficient shard worker threads. The number of shard worker threads can be controlled with the configuration options osd_op_num_threads_per_shard, osd_op_num_threads_per_shard_hdd and osd_op_num_threads_per_shard_ssd.

Second, requests are transferred from the operation queue to the operation sequencer, in which they go through the phases of execution. The operation queue is where mClock resides and mClock determines the next op to transfer to the operation sequencer. The number of operations allowed in the operation sequencer is a complex issue. In general we want to keep enough operations in the sequencer so it’s always getting work done on some operations while it’s waiting for disk and network access to complete on other operations. On the other hand, once an operation is transferred to the operation sequencer, mClock no longer has control over it. Therefore to maximize the impact of mClock, we want to keep as few operations in the operation sequencer as possible. So we have an inherent tension.

The configuration options that influence the number of operations in the operation sequencer are bluestore_throttle_bytes, bluestore_throttle_deferred_bytes, bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io, bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io_hdd, and bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io_ssd.

A third factor that affects the impact of the mClock algorithm is that we’re using a distributed system, where requests are made to multiple OSDs and each OSD has (can have) multiple shards. Yet we’re currently using the mClock algorithm, which is not distributed (note: dmClock is the distributed version of mClock).

Various organizations and individuals are currently experimenting with mClock as it exists in this code base along with their modifications to the code base. We hope you’ll share you’re experiences with your mClock and dmClock experiments on the ceph-devel mailing list.

Backfilling

When you add or remove Ceph OSD Daemons to a cluster, CRUSH will rebalance the cluster by moving placement groups to or from Ceph OSDs to restore balanced utilization. The process of migrating placement groups and the objects they contain can reduce the cluster’s operational performance considerably. To maintain operational performance, Ceph performs this migration with ‘backfilling’, which allows Ceph to set backfill operations to a lower priority than requests to read or write data.

Recovery

When the cluster starts or when a Ceph OSD Daemon crashes and restarts, the OSD begins peering with other Ceph OSD Daemons before writes can occur. See Monitoring OSDs and PGs for details.

If a Ceph OSD Daemon crashes and comes back online, usually it will be out of sync with other Ceph OSD Daemons containing more recent versions of objects in the placement groups. When this happens, the Ceph OSD Daemon goes into recovery mode and seeks to get the latest copy of the data and bring its map back up to date. Depending upon how long the Ceph OSD Daemon was down, the OSD’s objects and placement groups may be significantly out of date. Also, if a failure domain went down (e.g., a rack), more than one Ceph OSD Daemon may come back online at the same time. This can make the recovery process time consuming and resource intensive.

To maintain operational performance, Ceph performs recovery with limitations on the number recovery requests, threads and object chunk sizes which allows Ceph perform well in a degraded state.
