You need to think about exotic scenarios where an OSD may fail for other reasons than just a straight disk failure. Probably the most dangerous times are when OSD's start flapping for what other reasons. You can quickly get into a situation where an object is updated on a single remaining OSD. If this OSD now goes down and other copy comes back up, Ceph will mark the object unfound as it's not the latest version of the object. If whatever reason this OSD with the latest copy is no longer available, you now have dataloss. There are several mailing list posts and blogs where people have had several days outages and data loss caused by this situation. I experienced 2 OSD's dying a couple of weeks ago after deleting a large snapshot somehow got them in an inconsistent state after OSD's all over the cluster were flapping. If I was using min_size=1, I know I would have lost objects. I'm not convinced a size=2 min_size=1 is completely safe on OSD's over RAID either. Whilst you are protected from a disk failing scenario. Flapping or OSD bug is still just as likely to cause data loss. > > > W dniu 30.11.2016 o 04:39, Brad Hubbard pisze: > > > > On Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 11:37 PM, Piotr Dzionek <piotr.dzionek@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >> As far as I understand if I set pool size 2, there is a chance to > >> loose data when another osd dies while there is rebuild ongoing. > >> However, it has to occur on the different host, because my crushmap > >> forbids to store replicas on the same physical node. > > I am not talking about size, I am talking specifically about min_size, > > regardless of size. > > > >> I am not sure what would change if I set min_size 2, because the only > >> thing I would get is that there is no IOs to objects with less than 2 > >> replicas, while there is rebuild ongoing.
