I'm pulling my hair out with ceph. I am testing things with a 5 server cluster. I have 3 monitors, and two storage machines each with 4 osd's. I have started from scratch 4 times now, and can't seem to figure out how to get a clean status. Ceph health reports: HEALTH_WARN 34 pgs degraded; 192 pgs stuck unclean; recovery 40/60 objects degraded (66.667%) ceph status reports: cluster 99567882-2e01-4dec-8ca5-692e439a5a47 health HEALTH_WARN 34 pgs degraded; 192 pgs stuck unclean; recovery 40/60 objects degraded (66.667%) monmap e2: 3 mons at {monitor01=192.168.1.200:6789/0,monitor02=192.168.1.201:6789/0,monitor03=192 .168.1.202:6789/0}, election epoch 8, quorum 0,1,2 monitor01,monitor02,monitor03 mdsmap e4: 1/1/1 up {0=monitor01.mydomain.com=up:active} osdmap e49: 8 osds: 8 up, 8 in pgmap v85: 192 pgs, 3 pools, 1884 bytes data, 20 objects 297 MB used, 14856 GB / 14856 GB avail 40/60 objects degraded (66.667%) 1 active 34 active+degraded 157 active+remapped My ceph.conf contains the following: [default] osd_pool_default_size = 2 [global] auth_service_required = cephx filestore_xattr_use_omap = true auth_client_required = cephx auth_cluster_required = cephx mon_host = 192.168.1.200,192.168.1.201,192.168.1.202 mon_initial_members = monitor01, monitor02, monitor03 fsid = 99567882-2e01-4dec-8ca5-692e439a5a47 Any suggestions are welcome at this point.
