Re: I/O hangs with 2 node failure even if one node isn't involved in I/O

Let's see if I got this. 4 host cluster. size=3, min_size=2. 2 hosts
fail. Are all of the following accurate?

a. An rdb is split into lots of objects, parts of which will probably
exist on all 4 hosts.

b. Some objects will have 2 of their 3 replicas on 2 of the offline OSDs.

c. Reads can continue from the single online OSD even in pgs that
happened to have two of 3 osds offline.

d. Writes hang for pgs that have 2 offline OSDs because CRUSH can't meet
the min_size=2 constraint.

e. Rebalancing does not occur because with only two hosts online there
is no way for CRUSH to meet the size=3 constraint even if it were to
rebalance.

f. I/O can been restored by setting min_size=1.

g. Alternatively, I/O can be restored by setting size=2, which would
kick off rebalancing and restored I/O as the pgs come into compliance
with the size=2 constraint.

h. If I instead have a cluster with 10 hosts, size=3 and min_size=2 and
two hosts fail, some pgs would have only 1 OSD online, but rebalancing
would start immediately since CRUSH can honor the size=3 constraint by
rebalancing. This means more nodes makes for a more reliable cluster.

i. If I wanted to force CRUSH to bring I/O back online with size=3 and
min_size=2 but only 2 hosts online, I could remove the host bucket from
the crushmap. CRUSH would then rebalance, but some PGs would likely end
up with 3 OSDs all on the same host. (This is theory. I promise not to
do any such thing to a production system ;)

Thanks
