Ok, you convinced me to increase size to 3 and min_size to 2. During my
time running ceph I only had issues like single disk or host failures -
nothing exotic, but I think it is better to be safe than sorry.
Kind regards,

Subject: Re: - cluster stuck and undersized if at least one osd is down
Hi,
Ok, but I still don't get what advantage would I get from blocked IOs.
If I set size=2 and min_size=2 and during rebuild another disk dies on the other node, I will loose data. I know that I should set
size=3,
it is the much safer. But I don't see what is the advantage of blocked io ?
Maybe you mean faster rebuild ? or maybe if there is no IOs the likehood of another disk failure drops ?
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.

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. And in that case
Which is exactly what you should want if you are concerened about data
integrity. If you allow IO via min_size to be served by a single OSD
via
min_size=1 and you tehn lose that OSD you will lose any changes to the
pgs resulting in inconsistency and missing objects. You are removing
the consistency guarantees that ceph provides. So if you use
min_size=1 you need to be comfortable with the fact that there is a
likelihood you *will* lose data at some stage. Usually this is not what people implementing ceph want.
my vms wouldn't be able to read data from ceph pool. But maybe I got
it wrong.

Hi,
I recently installed 3 nodes ceph cluster v.10.2.3. It has 3 mons,
and 12 osds. I removed default pool and created the following one:
pool 7 'data' replicated size 2 min_size 1 crush_ruleset 0
object_hash rjenkins pg_num 1024 pgp_num 1024 last_change 126 flags
hashpspool stripe_width 0
Do you understand the significance of min_size 1?
Are you OK with the likelihood of data loss that this value introduces?
Cluster is healthy if all osds are up, however if I stop any of the
osds, it becomes stuck and undersized - it is not rebuilding.

I am not sure what is the reason for undersized state. All osd
disks are the same size and replica size is 2. Also data is only
replicated per hosts basis and I have 3 separate hosts. Maybe
number of pg is incorrect ? Is
1024 too big ? or maybe there is some misconfiguration in crushmap ?
