Hi Frank,
I think you need at least 6 OSD hosts to make EC 4+2 with faillure domain host.
I do not know how it was possible for you to create that configuration at first?
Could it be that you have multiple name for the OSD hosts?
That would at least explain the one OSD down, being show as two OSDs down.
Also, I believe that min_size should never be smaller than “coding” shards, which is 4 in this case.
You can either make a new test setup with your three test OSD hosts using EC 2+1 or make e.g. 4+2, but with failure domain set to OSD.
Best,
Jesper

I have one 4+2 EC pool with failure domain host and on 1 PGs of this pool 2 (!!!) shards are missing. This most degraded PG is not becoming active, its stuck inactive but peered.
