Hi Sage, *, your tip with truncating from below did not solve the problem. Just to recap: we had two inconsistencies, which we could break down to something like: rb.0.0.000000000000__head_DA680EE2 according to the ceph dump from below. Walking to the node with the OSD mounted on /data/osd3 for example, and a stupid "find …" brings up a couple of them, so the pg number is relevant too - makes sense - we went into lets say "/data/osd3/current/84.2_head/" and did a hex dump from the file, looked really like the "head", in means of signs from an installed grub-loader. But a corrupted partition-table. >From other of these files one could do a "fdisk -l <file>" and at least a partition-table could have been found. Two days later we got a customers big complaint about not being able to boot his VM anymore. The point now is, from such a file with name and pg, how can we identify the real file being associated with, cause there is another customer with a potential problem with next reboot ( second inconsistency). We also had some VM's in a big test-phase with similar problems… grub going into rescue-prompt, invalid/corrupted partition tables, so all in the first "head-file"? Would be cool to get some more infos… and sched some light into the structures ( myself not really being a good code-reader anymore ;) ). Thanks in@vance and kind regards, Oliver.
