Dear community,

We've set up a Proxmox hyper-converged Ceph cluster in production.
After syncing in one new OSD using the "pveceph osd create" command,
we got massive network performance issues and outages. We then found
that "osd_max_backfills" is set to 1000 (Ceph default is 1) and that
this (along with some other values) have been overridden.

Does anyone know a root cause? I can't imagine that this is the
Proxmox default behaviour and I'm very sure that we didn't change
anything (actually I didn't even know the value before researching and
talking to colleagues with deeper Ceph knowledge).

System:

Hi Benjamin

This behavior was introduced in Ceph with the new mClock scheduler [1]. 
If the mClock scheduler is used, the osd_max_backfills option gets 
overridden (to 1000), among others.

This is what is very likely causing the issues in your cluster when 
rebalancing. With the mClock scheduler the parameters for tuning 
rebalancing have changed. In our wiki you can find a description of the 
new parameters and how you can use them [2].

This should be fixed in the newer Ceph version 17.2.6 [3] [4], which is 
already available via our repositories (no-subscription as well as 
enterprise). It contains the fix for this issue and should override the 
max_backfills to a more reasonable value. Nevertheless, you should still 
take a look at the new mClock tuning options.

Kind Regards
Stefan
