thounds of files in monX/logm dir

thounds of files in monX/logm dir

[Thomas Mueller]

hi

had running a 4 node cluster with 3mon,3mds,4osd for a while with no one 
accessing it (actually nobody mounted it, i just forgot to stop the 
services). this was about ceph.git/unstable a month ago.

today i've upgraded to the latest ceph.git/unstable . to start over I 
deleted the ceph data completly. 

after 3mins of deleting i got curious.

every of the 3 mon nodes got about 530'000 files in the monX/logm dir.

is this expected?

It's an open issue without a comprehensive solution.  I added a trim on 
just the log states for now that will keep this in check (although keep in 
mind the $mon_data/log* files aren't rotated still).
