Past Incidents

29th April 2025

CephFS mounted Filesystems Ceph MDS Performance Issues

There have been some performance issues related Ceph fs, specifically due to the metadata server (Ceph MDS). This problem shouldn't affect all users, and is often path specific e.g. the time taken for a ls -la command at a specific folder might take much longer than usual. We are busy investigating the issue.

  • The MDS issues associated with CephFS have been resolved. Ceph is currently in a health OK and balanced state.
