Hi all, Recently our cluster lost a drive and a node (3 drives) at the same time. Our erasure coded pools are all k2m2, so if all is working correctly no data is lost. However, there were 4 PGs that stayed "incomplete" until I finally took the suggestion in 'ceph health detail' to reduce min_size . (Thanks for the hint!) I'm not sure what it was (likely 3), but setting it to 2 caused all PGs to become active (though degraded) and the cluster is on path to recovering fully. In replicated pools, would not ceph create replicas without the need to reduce min_size? It seems odd to not recover automatically if possible. Could someone explain what was going on there? Also, how to decide what min_size should be? Thanks!
