Hi, In many case we need to tag some OSD with NODOWN/NOOUT/NOUP/NOIN tag, but we dont want it cluster wise as these tag may stop other OSDs doing self-healthing.As a an example when an recovered OSD need to catch up with the OSDMap, to prevent flipping we set NODOWN/NOOUT/NOUP, but if other OSD failed by disk error, the failure will be hidden and we are in the risk of lossing the data. Is that reasonable to have these flag work in OSD granularity? say ceph osd nodown osd.xxx? Quick look at the code seems NODOWN/NOUP is easier as we could have new status bits in OSDMap /* status bits */ #define CEPH_OSD_EXISTS (1<<0) #define CEPH_OSD_UP (1<<1) #define CEPH_OSD_AUTOOUT (1<<2) /* osd was automatically marked out */ #define CEPH_OSD_NEW (1<<3) /* osd is new, never marked in */ #define CEPH_OSD_NOUP (1<<4) /* osd cannot be marked in */ #define CEPH_OSD_NODOWN (1<<5) /* osd cannot be marked out */ But for NOIN/NOOUT seems a bit struggle as IN/OUT depends on weight? Any suggestion?
