Hello dear ceph users:
We are running a ceph cluster with Luminous (BlueStore). As you may
know this new ceph version has a new feature called "Checksums". I
would like to ask if this feature replace to deep-scrub. In our
cluster, we run deep-scrub ever month however the impact in the
performance is high.
Source: ceph's documentation:
Checksums
BlueStore calculates, stores, and verifies checksums for all data and
metadata it stores. Any time data is read off of disk, a checksum is
used to verify the data is correct before it is exposed to any other
part of the system (or the user).
checksum's and deep-scrub do different things. and you want to keep
doing both.
checksum helps in determining if the data is OK or not, when reading it
off the disk.
if you have data sitting idle on a drive, it can become unreadable due
to bad blocks over time. if the data is never read you can end up in a
situation where all the objects replicas have become unreadable.
deep-scrub periodically reads the data on the drive to verify it is
still readable and correct, (checking with other replicas, and checksums)
you can schedule the deep-scrub to run on non-peek hours.
kind regards
