Hello, One of the nodes in our 14 node cluster is offline and before I totally commit to fully removing the node from the cluster (there is a chance I can get the node back in working order in the next few days) I would like to run the cluster with that single node out for a few days. Currently I have the. noout and nodown flags set while doing the maintenance work. Some users are complaining about disconnects and other oddities when try to save and access files currently on the cluster. I am also seeing some blocked requests when viewing the cluster status (at this point I see 160 block requests spread over 15 to 20 osd’s). Currently I have a replication level of 3 on this pool and a min_size of 1. My question is this…is there a better method to use (other than using noout and nodown) in this scenario where I do not want data movement yet…but I do want the reads and writes to the cluster to to respond as normally as possible for the end users? Thanks in advance, Shain _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
