Hi, Last week I have unintentionally created zombie pgs - they do not exist any more, cannot detect/delete them with ceph tools but cluster still thinks they exist and reports those as stale. how-to create zombie pgs on ceph 0.56.3: create single copy pool+rbd with some data. stop respective osds that hold pieces of this rbd. reformat filesystem+ceph filesystem for stopped osds with same {osd-nums}, start osds. Now: # ceph -s health HEALTH_WARN 54 pgs stale; 54 pgs stuck stale #ceph health detail ... pg 15.60 is stuck stale for 530406.612888, current state stale+active+clean, last acting [7] pg 15.61 is stuck stale for 520394.297111, current state stale+active+clean, last acting [6] pg 15.63 is stuck stale for 519992.929160, current state stale+active+clean, last acting [5] #ceph pg scrub 15.63 instructing pg 15.63 on osd.5 to scrub wait while scrub finish # ceph osd deep-scrub 5 osd.5 instructed to deep-scrub wait while scrub finish # ceph pg 15.63 query i don't have pgid 15.63 # ceph pg 15.63 mark_unfound_lost revert i don't have pgid 15.63 Logs at monitors, osd.5 do not show anything about finding these pgs while scrubbing. Hoped to reveal non existant pgs via scrub and then "ceph pg {pg-id} mark_unfound_lost revert" those, but scrubs do not find them, shouldn't they? I could try to remove respective single copy pool as missing pgs are from only rbd that was in this pool, but this is not the best way - there could be other rbds other times. How to remove these zombie pgs? P.S. While osds were reformatted + recovering in other terminal I run "rbd rm -p single-copy-pool single-copy-rbd" from client. This command hanged for tens of minutes then I Ctrl+c'd it. Do not remember if I run rm before starting to reformat osds(should), but even if not there should be no zombie pgs in cluster after deep scrub - they should be unfound.
