Hi
We are experiencing an annoying problem where scrubs make OSD’s flap down and cause Ceph cluster to be unusable for couple of minutes.
Our cluster consists of three nodes connected with 40gbit infiniband using IPoIB, with 2x 6 core X5670 CPU’s and 64GB of memory
Each node has 6 SSD’s for journals to 12 OSD’s 2TB disks (Fast pools) and another 12 OSD’s 4TB disks (Archive pools) which have journal on the same disk.
It seems that our cluster is constantly doing scrubbing, we rarely see only active+clean, below is the status at the moment.

7 active+clean+scrubbing
When OSD’s go down, first the load on a node goes high during scrubbing and after that some OSD’s go down and 30 secs, they are back up. They are not really going down, but are marked as down. Then it takes around couple of minutes for everything be OK again.
Any suggestion how to fix this? We can’t go to production while this behavior exists.
