Fixed all active+remapped PGs stuck forever (but I have no clue why)

Ah, I was afraid it would be related to the amount of replicas versus the amount of host buckets.

Makes sense. I was unable to reproduce the issue with three hosts and one OSD on each host.

Thanks.

Hi,

Trying to update my continuous integration environment.. same deployment
method with the following specs:
- Ubuntu Precise, Kernel 3.2, Emperor (0.72.2) - Yields a successful,
healthy cluster.
- Ubuntu Trusty, Kernel 3.13, Firefly (0.80.5) - I have stuck placement
groups.

Here?s some relevant bits from the Trusty/Firefly setup before I move on
to what I?ve done/tried: http://pastebin.com/eqQTHcxU <? This was about
halfway through PG healing.

So, the setup is three monitors, two other hosts on which there are 9
OSDs each. At the beginning, all my placement groups were stuck unclean.

And there's your reason why the firefly install "failed".
The default replication is 3 and you have just 2 storage nodes, combined
with the default CRUSH rules that's exactly what will happen.
To avoid this from the start either use 3 nodes or set
---
osd_pool_default_size = 2
osd_pool_default_min_size = 1
---
in your ceph.conf very early on, before creating anything, especially
OSDs.

Setting the replication for all your pools to 2 with "ceph osd pool <name>
set size 2" as the first step after your install should have worked, too.

But with all the things you tried, I can't really tell you why things
behaved they way they did for you.

I tried the easy things first:
- set crush tunables to optimal
- run repairs/scrub on OSDs
- restart OSDs

Nothing happened. All ~12000 PGs remained stuck unclean since forever
active+remapped. Next, I played with the crush map. I deleted the
default replicated_ruleset rule and created a (basic) rule for each pool
for the time being. I set the pools to use their respective rule and
also reduced their size to 2 and min_size to 1.

Still nothing, all PGs stuck.
I?m not sure why but I tried setting the crush tunables to legacy - I
guess in a trial and error attempt.

Half my PGs healed almost immediately. 6082 PGs remained in
active+remapped. I try running scrubs/repairs - it won?t heal the other
half. I set the tunables back to optimal, still nothing.

I set tunables to legacy again and most of them end up healing with only
1335 left in active+remapped.

The remainder of the PGs healed when I restarted the OSDs.

Does anyone have a clue why this happened ?
It looks like switching back and forth between tunables fixed the stuck
PGs ?

I can easily reproduce this if anyone wants more info.

Let me know !
