Re: What is the meaning of size and min_size for erasure-coded pools?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My setup consists of two pools on 5 OSDs, and is intended for cephfs:
1. erasure-coded data pool: k=3, m=2, size=5, min_size=3 (originally
4), number of PGs=128
2. replicated metadata pool: size=3, min_size=2, number of PGs=100

When all OSDs were online, all PGs from both pools has status
active+clean. After killing two of five OSDs (and changing min_size to
3), all metadata pool PGs remained active+clean, and of 128 data pool
PGs, 3 remained active+clean, 11 became active+clean+remapped, and the
rest became active+undersized, active+undersized+remapped,
active+undersized+degraded or active+undersized+degraded+remapped,
seemingly at random.

After some time one of remaining three OSD nodes lost network
connectivity (due to ceph-unrelated bug in virtio_net; this toy setup
sure is becoming a bug motherlode!). The node was rebooted, ceph
cluster become accessible again (with 3 out of 5 OSDs online, as
before), and three active+clean data pool PGs now became
active+clean+remapped, while the rest of PGs seems to have kept their
previous status.

Thanks
