Hello everyone, We experienced a strange scenario last week of unfound objects and inconsistent reports from ceph tools. We solved it with the help from Sage, and we wanted to share our experience and to see if it can be of any use for developers too. After OSDs segfaulting randomly, our cluster ended up with one OSD down and unfound objects, probably due to a combination of inopportune crashes. We tried to start that OSD again, but it crashed when reading a specific PG from the log. here: http://pastebin.com/u9WFJnMR Sage pointed that it looked like some metadata was corrupted. Funny thing is that, that PG didn't belong to that OSD anymore. Once we made sure it didn't belong to that OSD, we removed the PG from that OSD. ceph-objectstore-tool --data-path /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-51/ --pgid 2.1fd --op remove --journal-path /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-51/journal We had to repeat this procedure for other PGs on that same OSD, as it kept on crashing on startup. Finally the OSD was up and in, but the recovery process was stuck with 10 unfound objects. We deleted marking them as lost in their PGs doing: ceph pg 2.481 mark_unfound_lost delete Right after that, recovery was successfully completed but ceph reports were a bit inconsistent. ceph -s was reporting 7 unfound objects, while ceph health detail didn't report which PGs those unfound objects belonged to. Sage pointed us to ceph pg dump, that indeed showed which PGs owned those objects (in all PGs, the crashed OSD was a member). However, when we listed missing objects on those PGs, they reported none: { "offset": { "oid": "", "key": "", "snapid": 0, "hash": 0, "max": 0, "pool": -9223372036854775808, "namespace": "" }, "num_missing": 0, "num_unfound": 0, "objects": [], "more": 0 } Then we decided to restart the OSDs on those PGs, and the unfound objects disappear from ceph -s report. It may be important to mention that we had four nodes running the OSDs. Two nodes with v9.2.0 and another with v9.2.1. Our OSDs were crashing apparently because of an issue on v9.2.1. We shared this on the ceph-devel list, that were very helpful solving this (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ceph.devel/31123).
