I am going to throw this out there as I've seen something similar, but not with ceph. Back in 2005-ish I was experimenting with ATA over Ethernet. Running bonnie++ against the targets or some such. During the tests, they would just hang, and I couldn't kill the process, just had to reboot. What it ended up being was the I/O (or bonnie++ ?) was using so much memory Linux wasn't allocating space for network buffers, killing network I/O. Well, since this was a network block file system, that was kind of crucial, and the mount points would hang, and they wouldn't recover. Again, I have no idea if this has anything to do with your issue, but the "lots of I/O followed by a hang requiring a reboot" rang bells...just maybe not the right ones. :) j -- Joshua J.
