I created a simple cluster with one monitor server and two OSDs . The conf file is attached When start my cluster - and do "ceph -s" - I see following message $ceph -s" health HEALTH_WARN 202 pgs stuck inactive; 202 pgs stuck unclean monmap e1: 1 mons at {slesceph1=160.110.73.200:6789/0}, election epoch 1, quorum 0 slesceph1 osdmap e56: 2 osds: 2 up, 2 in pgmap v100: 202 pgs: 202 creating; 0 bytes data, 10305 MB used, 71574 MB / 81880 MB avail mdsmap e1: 0/0/1 up Basically there is some problem with my placement groups - they are forever stuck in "creating" state and there is no OSD associated with them ( despite having two OSD's that are up and in" ) - when I do a ceph pg stat" I see as follows $ceph pg stat v100: 202 pgs: 202 creating; 0 bytes data, 10305 MB used, 71574 MB / 81880 MB avail if I query any individual pg - then I see it isn't mapped to any OSD $ ceph pg 0.d query pgid currently maps to no osd I tried restaring OSDs and tuning my configuration without any avail Any suggestions ?
