Hi Ceph users, after a long time without any major incident (which is great for such a complex piece of software!), I've finally encountered a problem with our Ceph installation. All of a sudden the monitor service on one of the nodes doesn't start anymore. It crashes immediately when I try to start the service. See below for the journalctl log. I found some recommendations on the web to check whether the keys/config are all identical but it seems they are and I actually didn't change anything. It just stopped working and now it won't run anymore. What can I do to further diagnose this issue? Thank you / Best regards Ranjan ==== Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 2022-04-12T14:58:49.652+0200 7fa0c67fc640 -1 mon.stage2@-1(???) e3 handle_auth_bad_method hmm, they didn't like 2 result (13) Permission denied Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 2022-04-12T14:58:49.856+0200 7fa0c67fc640 -1 mon.stage2@1(probing) e3 handle_auth_bad_method hmm, they didn't like 2 result (13) Permission denied Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: [259B blob data] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: PutCF( prefix = mon_sync key = 'latest_monmap' value size = 454) Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: PutCF( prefix = mon_sync key = 'in_sync' value size = 8) Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: PutCF( prefix = mon_sync key = 'last_committed_floor' value size = 8) Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: ./src/mon/MonitorDBStore.h: In function 'int MonitorDBStore::apply_transaction(MonitorDBStore::TransactionRef)' thread 7fa0a1ffb640 time 2022-04-12T> Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: ./src/mon/MonitorDBStore.h: 351: ceph_abort_msg("failed to write to db") Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: ceph version 16.2.7 (dd0603118f56ab514f133c8d2e3adfc983942503) pacific (stable) Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 1: (ceph::__ceph_abort(char const*, int, char const*, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)+0xd7)> Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 2: (MonitorDBStore::apply_transaction(std::shared_ptr<MonitorDBStore::Transaction>)+0x890) [0x5636462d9cc0] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 3: (Monitor::sync_start(entity_addrvec_t&, bool)+0x370) [0x563646294020] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 4: (Monitor::handle_probe_reply(boost::intrusive_ptr<MonOpRequest>)+0xa2a) [0x56364629e2ea] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 5: (Monitor::handle_probe(boost::intrusive_ptr<MonOpRequest>)+0x2ff) [0x56364629f8cf] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 6: (Monitor::dispatch_op(boost::intrusive_ptr<MonOpRequest>)+0xe9f) [0x5636462ace9f] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 7: (Monitor::_ms_dispatch(Message*)+0x411) [0x5636462ad651] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 8: (Dispatcher::ms_dispatch2(boost::intrusive_ptr<Message> const&)+0x5d) [0x5636462db5ad] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 9: (Messenger::ms_deliver_dispatch(boost::intrusive_ptr<Message> const&)+0x450) [0x7fa0d0b1d3a0] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 10: (DispatchQueue::entry()+0x647) [0x7fa0d0b1a757] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 11: (DispatchQueue::DispatchThread::entry()+0x11) [0x7fa0d0bdb451] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 12: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x94947) [0x7fa0d0147947] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 13: clone() Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 2022-04-12T14:58:49.864+0200 7fa0a1ffb640 -1 ./src/mon/MonitorDBStore.h: In function 'int MonitorDBStore::apply_transaction(MonitorDBStore::Transact> Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: ./src/mon/MonitorDBStore.h: 351: ceph_abort_msg("failed to write to db") Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: ceph version 16.2.7 (dd0603118f56ab514f133c8d2e3adfc983942503) pacific (stable) Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 1: (ceph::__ceph_abort(char const*, int, char const*, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)+0xd7)> Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 2: (MonitorDBStore::apply_transaction(std::shared_ptr<MonitorDBStore::Transaction>)+0x890) [0x5636462d9cc0] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 3: (Monitor::sync_start(entity_addrvec_t&, bool)+0x370) [0x563646294020] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 4: (Monitor::handle_probe_reply(boost::intrusive_ptr<MonOpRequest>)+0xa2a) [0x56364629e2ea] Apr 12 14:58:49 stage2 ceph-mon[614074]: 5: (Monitor::handle_probe(boost::intrusive_ptr<MonOpRequest>)+0x2ff) [0x56364629f8cf] === _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
