Hi Sage, No problem. I thought this would take a lot longer to resolve so I waited to find a good chunk of time, then it only took a few minutes! Here are the respective backtrace outputs from gdb: https://aarontc.com/ceph/dumps/core.ceph-osd.150.082e9ca887c34cfbab183366a214a84c.6742.1492634493000000000000.backtrace.txt https://aarontc.com/ceph/dumps/core.ceph-osd.150.082e9ca887c34cfbab183366a214a84c.7202.1492634508000000000000.backtrace.txt Hope that helps! -Aaron On Thu, May 4, 2017 at 2:25 PM, Sage Weil <sage@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Aaron- > > Sorry, lost track of this one.
