Dear Michael,

firstly, I'm a bit confused why you started deleting data. The objects were unfound, but still there. That's a small issue. Now the data might be gone and that's a real issue.

----------------------------
Interval:

Anyone reading this: I have seen many threads where ceph admins started deleting objects or PGs or even purging OSDs way too early from a cluster. Trying to recover health by deleting data is a contradiction. Ceph has bugs and sometimes it needs some help finding everything again. As far as I know, for most of these bugs there are workarounds that allow full recovery with a bit of work.

I disagree with the statement that trying to recover health by deleting data is a contradiction. In some cases (such as mine), the data in ceph is backed up in another location (eg tape library). Restoring a few files from tape is a simple and cheap operation that takes a minute, at most. For the sake of expediency, sometimes it's quicker and easier to simply delete the affected files and restore them from the backup system.

This procedure has worked fine with our previous distributed filesystem (hdfs), so I (naively?) thought that it could be used with ceph as well. I was a bit surprised that cephs behavior was to indefinitely block the 'rm' operation so that the affected file could not even be removed.

Since I have 25 unfound objects spread across 9 PGs, I used a PG with a single unfound object to test this alternate recovery procedure.

First question is, did you delete the entire object or just a shard on one disk? Are there OSDs that might still have a copy?

Per the troubleshooting guide (https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-pg/), I ran:

ceph pg 7.1fb mark_unfound_lost delete

So I presume that the entire object has been deleted.

If the object is gone for good, the file references something that doesn't exist - its like a bad sector. You probably need to delete the file. Bit strange that the operation does not err out with a read error. Maybe it doesn't because it waits for the unfound objects state to be resolved?

Even before the object was removed, all read operations on the file would hang. Even worse, attempts to stat() the file with commands such as 'ls' or 'rm' would hang. Even worse, attempts to 'ls' in the directory itself would hang. This hasn't changed after removing the object.

*Update*: The stat() operations may not be hanging indefinitely. It seems to hang for somewhere between 10 minutes and 8 hours.

For all the other unfound objects, they are there somewhere - you didn't loose a disk or something. Try pushing ceph to scan the correct OSDs, for example, by restarting the newly added OSDs one by one or something similar. Sometimes exporting and importing a PG from one OSD to another forces a re-scan and subsequent discovery of unfound objects. It is also possible that ceph will find these objects along the way of recovery or when OSDs scrub or check for objects that can be deleted.

I have restarted the new OSDs countless times. I've used three different methods to restart the OSD:

* systemctl restart ceph-osd@120

* init 6

* ceph osd out 120
  ...wait for repeering to finish...
  systemctl restart ceph-osd@120
  ceph osd in 120

I've done this for all OSDs that a PG has listed in the 'not queried' state in 'ceph pg $pgid detail'. But even when all OSDs in the PG are back to the 'already probed' state, the missing objects remain.

Over 90% of my PGs have not been deep scrubbed recently, due to the amount of backfilling and importing of data into the ceph cluster. I plan to leave the cluster mostly idle over the weekend so that hopefully the deep scrubs can catch up and possibly locate any missing objects.

Hi Frank,

Yes, it does sounds similar to your ticket.

I've tried a few things to restore the failed files:

* Locate a missing object with 'ceph pg $pgid list_unfound'

* Convert the hex oid to a decimal inode number

* Identify the affected file with 'find /ceph -inum $inode'

At this point, I know which file is affected by the missing object.  As
expected, attempts to read the file simply hang.  Unexpectedly, attempts
to 'ls' the file or its containing directory also hang.  I presume from
this that the stat() system call needs some information that is
contained in the missing object, and is waiting for the object to become
available.

Next I tried to remove the affected object with:

* ceph pg $pgid mark_unfound_lost delete

Now 'ceph status' shows one fewer missing objects, but attempts to 'ls'
or 'rm' the affected file continue to hang.

Finally, I ran a scrub over the part of the filesystem containing the
affected file:

ceph tell mds.ceph4 scrub start /frames/postO3/hoft recursive

Nothing seemed to come up during the scrub:

2020-09-17T14:56:15.208-0500 7f39bca24700  1 mds.ceph4 asok_command:

After the scrub completed, access to the file (ls or rm) continue to
hang.  The MDS reports slow reads:

2020-09-17T15:11:05.654-0500 7f39b9a1e700  0 log_channel(cluster) log

Does anyone have any suggestions on how else to clean up from a
permanently lost object?

If you have or can reconstruct the crush map from before adding the OSDs, you might be able to discover everything with the temporary reversal of the crush map method.

Not sure if there is another method, i never got a reply to my question in the tracker.

Subject:  multiple OSD crash, unfound objects

Over the weekend I had multiple OSD servers in my Octopus cluster
(15.2.4) crash and reboot at nearly the same time.  The OSDs are part of
an erasure coded pool.  At the time the cluster had been busy with a
long-running (~week) remapping of a large number of PGs after I
incrementally added more OSDs to the cluster.  After bringing all of the
OSDs back up, I have 25 unfound objects and 75 degraded objects.  There
are other problems reported, but I'm primarily concerned with these
unfound/degraded objects.

The pool with the missing objects is a cephfs pool.  The files stored in
the pool are backed up on tape, so I can easily restore individual files
as needed (though I would not want to restore the entire filesystem).

I tried following the guide at
https://docs.ceph.com/docs/octopus/rados/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-pg/#unfound-objects.
    I found a number of OSDs that are still 'not queried'.  Restarting a
sampling of these OSDs changed the state from 'not queried' to 'already
probed', but that did not recover any of the unfound or degraded objects.

I have also tried 'ceph pg deep-scrub' on the affected PGs, but never
saw them get scrubbed.  I also tried doing a 'ceph pg force-recovery' on
the affected PGs, but only one seems to have been tagged accordingly
(see ceph -s output below).

The guide also says "Sometimes it simply takes some time for the cluster
to query possible locations."  I'm not sure how long "some time" might
take, but it hasn't changed after several hours.

My questions are:

* Is there a way to force the cluster to query the possible locations
sooner?

* Is it possible to identify the files in cephfs that are affected, so
that I could delete only the affected files and restore them from backup
tapes?
