I have a damaged cluster that has been recovering for over a week and is still not getting healthy. It will get to a point and then the "degraded" recovery objects count stops going down and eventually the "mispaced" object count also stops going down and recovery basically stops. Problems noted: - Memory exhaustion on storage servers. We have 192GB RAM and 64TB of disks (though only 40TB of disks are marked "up/in" the cluster currently to avoid crashing issues and some suspected bad disks). - OSD crashes. We have a number of OSDs that repeatedly crash on or shortly after starting up and joining back into the cluster (crash logs already sent in to this list early this week). Possibly due to hard drive issues, but none of them are marked as failing by SMART utilities. - Too many cephfs snapshots. We have a cephfs with over 4800 snapshots. cephfs is currently unavailable during the recovery, but when it *was* available, deleting a single snapshot threw the system into a bad state - thousands of requests would become blocked, cephfs would become blocked and the entire cluster basically went to hell. I believe a bug has been filed for this, but I think the impact is more severe and critical than originally suspected. Fixes attempted: - Upgraded everything to ceph 10.2.9 (was originally 10.2.7) - Upgraded kernels on storage servers to 4.13.1 to get around XFS problems. - disabled scrub and deep scrub - attempting to bring more OSDs online, but its tricky because we end up either running into memory exhaustion problems or the OSDs crash shortly after starting making them essentially useless. Currently our status looks like this (MDSs are disabled intentionally for now, having them online makes no difference for recovery or cephfs availability): health HEALTH_ERR 25 pgs are stuck inactive for more than 300 seconds 1398 pgs backfill_wait 72 pgs backfilling 38 pgs degraded 13 pgs down 1 pgs incomplete 2 pgs inconsistent 13 pgs peering 35 pgs recovering 37 pgs stuck degraded 25 pgs stuck inactive 1519 pgs stuck unclean 33 pgs stuck undersized 34 pgs undersized 81 requests are blocked > 32 sec recovery 351883/51815427 objects degraded (0.679%) recovery 4920116/51815427 objects misplaced (9.495%) recovery 152/17271809 unfound (0.001%) 15 scrub errors mds rank 0 has failed mds cluster is degraded noscrub,nodeep-scrub flag(s) set monmap e1: 3 mons at {mon01=10.16.51.21:6789/0,mon02=10.16.51.22:6789/0,mon03=10.16.51.23:6789/0} election epoch 192, quorum 0,1,2 mon01,mon02,mon03 fsmap e18157: 0/1/1 up, 1 failed osdmap e254054: 93 osds: 77 up, 76 in; 1511 remapped pgs flags noscrub,nodeep-scrub,sortbitwise,require_jewel_osds pgmap v36166916: 16200 pgs, 13 pools, 25494 GB data, 16867 kobjects 86259 GB used, 139 TB / 223 TB avail Any suggestions as to what to look for or how to try and get this cluster healthy soon would be much appreciated, its literally been more than 2 weeks of battling with various issues and we are no closer to a healthy usable cluster. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
