TL;DR: my cluster is working now. Details and further problems below: Jan Kasprzak wrote: : I did : : ceph tell mon.* config set mon_sync_max_payload_size 4096 : ceph config set mon mon_sync_max_payload_size 4096 : : and added "mon_sync_max_payload_size = 4096" into the [global] section : of the mon host to be (re-)added, and ran : : systemctl restart ceph-mon@mon1.service : : on that host. But it did not help - mon1 did not join the cluster. I let it settle over the night, and apparently about four hours after I did the above and let ceph-mon running without touching anything further, the newly configured mon has successfully joined the cluster. So I upgraded mon1 to Quincy went on and tried to upgrade another mon, named mon3. I also had to remove it from cluster and reinitialize its data directory (apparently Quincy mon cannot handle my leveldb and just crashed, so I mkfs'd a new rocksdb data directory). Mon3 got registered to the cluster successfully about 10-20 seconds after the start, but it could not join the quorum. There were the following lines in the log file, repeated every second or so: 2022-09-09T09:01:52.611+0200 7f8ecc968700 0 log_channel(cluster) log [INF] : mo n.mon3 calling monitor election 2022-09-09T09:01:52.611+0200 7f8ecc968700 1 paxos.2).electionLogic(62993) init, last seen epoch 62993, mid-election, bumping 2022-09-09T09:01:52.661+0200 7f8ecc968700 1 mon.mon3@2(electing) e33 collect_metadata md127: no unique device id for md127: fallback method has no model nor serial' (/dev/md127 is my root filesystem, RAID-1) When I stopped the ceph-mon@mon3.service, ceph -s reported many slow ops on other two mons, mon1 and mon2, for a while. After another mkfs and several restarts, it entered the quorum successfully. I don't know what made the difference. So I upgraded also mon2 with similar problems, but it also eventually managed to join the cluster and the quorum. -Yenya -- | Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak <kas at {fi.muni.cz - work | yenya.net - private}> | | http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/ GPG: 4096R/A45477D5 | We all agree on the necessity of compromise.
