Hi, I've been taking a look at the repair functionality in ceph. As I understand it the osds should try to copy an object from another member of the pg if it is missing. I have been attempting to test this by manually removing a file from one of the osds however each time the repair completes the the file has not been restored. If I run another scrub on the pg it gets flagged as inconsistent. See below for the output from my testing. I assume I'm missing something obvious, any insight into this process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Harry # ceph --version ceph version 0.67.4 (ad85b8bfafea6232d64cb7ba76a8b6e8252fa0c7) # ceph status cluster a4e417fe-0386-46a5-4475-ca7e10294273 health HEALTH_OK monmap e1: 1 mons at {ceph1=1.2.3.4:6789/0}, election epoch 2, quorum 0 ceph1 osdmap e13: 3 osds: 3 up, 3 in pgmap v232: 192 pgs: 192 active+clean; 44 bytes data, 15465 MB used, 164 GB / 179 GB avail mdsmap e1: 0/0/1 up file removed from osd.2 # ceph pg scrub 0.b instructing pg 0.b on osd.1 to scrub # ceph status cluster a4e417fe-0386-46a5-4475-ca7e10294273 health HEALTH_ERR 1 pgs inconsistent; 1 scrub errors monmap e1: 1 mons at {ceph1=1.2.3.4:6789/0}, election epoch 2, quorum 0 ceph1 osdmap e13: 3 osds: 3 up, 3 in pgmap v233: 192 pgs: 191 active+clean, 1 active+clean+inconsistent; 44 bytes data, 15465 MB used, 164 GB / 179 GB avail mdsmap e1: 0/0/1 up # ceph pg repair 0.b instructing pg 0.b on osd.1 to repair # ceph status cluster a4e417fe-0386-46a5-4475-ca7e10294273 health HEALTH_OK monmap e1: 1 mons at {ceph1=1.2.3.4:6789/0}, election epoch 2, quorum 0 ceph1 osdmap e13: 3 osds: 3 up, 3 in pgmap v234: 192 pgs: 192 active+clean; 44 bytes data, 15465 MB used, 164 GB / 179 GB avail mdsmap e1: 0/0/1 up # ceph pg scrub 0.b instructing pg 0.b on osd.1 to scrub # ceph status cluster a4e417fe-0386-46a5-4475-ca7e10294273 health HEALTH_ERR 1 pgs inconsistent; 1 scrub errors monmap e1: 1 mons at {ceph1=1.2.3.4:6789/0}, election epoch 2, quorum 0 ceph1 osdmap e13: 3 osds: 3 up, 3 in pgmap v236: 192 pgs: 191 active+clean, 1 active+clean+inconsistent; 44 bytes data, 15465 MB used, 164 GB / 179 GB avail mdsmap e1: 0/0/1 up The logs from osd.1: 2013-10-23 14:12:31.188281 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b osd.2 missing 3a643fcb/testfile1/head//0 2013-10-23 14:12:31.188312 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b scrub 1 missing, 0 inconsistent objects 2013-10-23 14:12:31.188319 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b scrub 1 errors 2013-10-23 14:13:03.197802 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b osd.2 missing 3a643fcb/testfile1/head//0 2013-10-23 14:13:03.197837 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b repair 1 missing, 0 inconsistent objects 2013-10-23 14:13:03.197850 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b repair 1 errors, 1 fixed 2013-10-23 14:14:47.232953 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b osd.2 missing 3a643fcb/testfile1/head//0 2013-10-23 14:14:47.232985 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b scrub 1 missing, 0 inconsistent objects 2013-10-23 14:14:47.232991 7f02a5161700 0 log [ERR] : 0.b scrub 1 errors _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
