It seems the trigger for the problem is this: > 24.9141130d 10000000527.00000000 [write 0~242] snapc 1=[] ondisk+write > e320) > -40> 2016-09-20 20:38:02.007942 708f67bbd700 0 > filestore(/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0) write couldn't open > 24.32_head/#24:4d11884b:::10000000504.00000000:head#: (24) Too many > open files > -39> 2016-09-20 20:38:02.007759 708f673ae700 0 > filestore(/var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0) write couldn't open (and the compressed log is 23MB... do you really want it still?) So I can understand the osd has little choice but to give up, but corruption is not okay. So I set the open files limit to 10000 soft 13000 hard, and it seems fine now. (the default was only 1024.) Grsecurity kernels actually enforce these things, so maybe that's why nobody else noticed this corruption problem. BTW since the symptom is similar, let me mention another bug I found in hammer 0.94.9... I was playing around with cephfs and `ceph osd blacklist add ...` and blacklisted a client that wrote some files, and then whether I kill -9, umount -l, unblacklist right away, etc. it will show non-corrupt files on the client until cache flush (umount or sysctl vm.drop_caches=3), and then the files I wrote will be all nulls, even though no osds crashed. I couldn't reproduce that in jewel 10.2.2 though. So that's 2 ways to cause this... so it should be solved other than just the limits.conf adjustment.
