Was having a space allocation problem with a ceph host and couldn’t figure out what was holding files open.. finally listed lsof by size

lsof | grep REG | awk '{ print $1,$7,$9 }' | sort -t ' ' -k 2 -V

Found rsyslog had huge files open

splunkd REG 16400942226
splunkd REG 16400942226
splunkd REG 16400942226
splunkd REG 16400942226
rsyslogd REG 164487529796
rsyslogd REG 164487529796

Your cluster on fire? MDS won’t start?

Set the beacon grace GLOBALLY or MON AND MDS.

ceph config set mon mds_beacon_grace 360

ceph config set mds mds_beacon_grace 360

The Ceph defaults for this are a little too aggressive for most devices, this will give you a more reasonable recovery speed that does not tank the system as hard but still yields a quick stable recovery.

ceph config set osd osd_recovery_sleep_hdd 0.25
ceph config set osd osd_recovery_sleep_ssd 0.05
ceph config set osd osd_recovery_sleep_hybrid 0.10

Sometimes you have failures that cannot be fixed… ie EC 2+1 and 2 drives failing… (btw this was the recommended default EC profile of 14.x..) and you should use 8+3 at minimum to prevent this!

Warning, everything below ensures data loss on the affected PG.

ceph pg PGID query  | jq .acting

# Stop OSD related to PG, figure out the shard id of the pg, generally its .s0, .s1, .s2 depending on your EC config.
ceph-objectstore-tool --data-path /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0/ --pgid PGID.s1/2 --force --op remove

# Restart the osd, wait for it to attempt to peer, stop it then mark it complete.
ceph-objectstore-tool --data-path /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0/ --pgid PGID.s1/2 --op mark-complete

# Tell the customer your mistake is acceptable..
ceph pg 13.df mark_unfound_lost delete

This GUI isn’t super intuitive but heres where to click to dig down in and find your settings.

UDM

UDM > Settings (Bottom of sidebar menu) > Advanced > SSH

Unifi Switch

UDM > Network > Settings (Bottom of sidebar menu) > System > Application Configuration > Device SSH Authentication.

Lots of poor documentation around the interwebs for this… here is the required packages to make this useful. If you want the normal driver with xorg just remove headless from the package name.

apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y
apt install nvidia-headless-470-server nvidia-utils-470-server libnvidia-encode-470-server -y

This took forever to find, saving here for others.

This is a placeholder for me comprehending how video encoding works… I’ll update/edit as I become more familiar.. please don’t assume I have any idea what im talking about.

But, basically you have a GOP (group of pictures) and that GOP has a specified number of frames per second. So lets say you have a 30 FPS video, it has 30 frames per second of data, you can have a number of GOP that is different than that though.

So lets say you have a GOP size of 90, but your frame rate is 30 FPS. You will then have 29 P-Frames per I-Frame, For a total of 87 P-frames and 3 I-Frames.

I-Frames are ENTIRE picture, P-Frames are the “guess” at what changed since the last I-Frame. More I-Frames = more bandwidth.
