Hi,I realize that the crushmap I attached to one of my email, probably required to understand the discussion here, has been stripped down by mailman. To avoid poluting the thread with a long output, I put it on at https://box.in2p3.fr/index.php/s/J4fcm7orfNE87CX. Download it if you are interested.

Hi Eugen,My LRC pool is also somewhat experimental so nothing really urgent. If you manage to do some tests that help me to understand the problem I remain interested. I propose to keep this thread for that.Zitat, I shared my crush map in the email you answered if the attachment was not suppressed by mailman.Cheers, Michel Sent from my mobile Le 18 mai 2023 11:19:35 Eugen Block <eblock@xxxxxx> a écrit :Hi, I don’t have a good explanation for this yet, but I’ll soon get the opportunity to play around with a decommissioned cluster. I’ll try to get a better understanding of the LRC plugin, but it might take some time, especially since my vacation is coming up. :-) I have some thoughts about the down PGs with failure domain OSD, but I don’t have anything to confirm it yet. Zitat von Curt <lightspd@xxxxxxxxx>:Hi,I've been following this thread with interest as it seems like a unique usecase to expand my knowledge. I don't use LRC or anything outside basic erasure coding.What is your current crush steps rule? I know you made changes since your first post and had some thoughts I wanted to share, but wanted to see your rule first so I could try to visualize the distribution better. The only way I can currently visualize it working is with more servers, I'm thinking 6 or 9 per data center min, but that could be my lack of knowledge on someof the step rules.

This time I managed to capture "ceph health detail" output showing the problem with the 2 PGs: [WRN] PG_AVAILABILITY: Reduced data availability: 2 pgs inactive, 2 pgs down pg 56.1 is down, acting [208,65,73,206,197,193,144,155,178,182,183,133,17,NONE,36,NONE,230,NONE] pg 56.12 is down, acting[NONE,236,28,228,218,NONE,215,117,203,213,204,115,136,181,171,162,137,128]I still doesn't understand why, if I am supposed to survive to a datacenter failure, I cannot survive to 3 OSDs down on the same host, hosting shards for the PG. In the second case it is only 2 OSDs down but I'm surprised they don't seem in the same "group" of OSD (I'd expected all the the OSDs of one datacenter to be in the same groupe of 5 if the order given really reflects the allocation done... Still interested by some explanation on what I'm doing wrong! Best regards, Michel Le 03/05/2023 à 10:21, Eugen Block a écrit :I think I got it wrong with the locality setting, I'm still limited by the number of hosts I have available in my test cluster, but as far as I got with failure-domain=osd I believe k=6, m=3, l=3 with locality=datacenter could fit your requirement, at least with regards to the recovery bandwidth usage between DCs, but the resiliency would not match your requirement (one DC failure). That profile creates 3 groups of 4 chunks (3 data/coding chunks and one parity chunk) across three DCs, in total 12 chunks. The min_size=7 would not allow an entire DC to go down, I'm afraid, you'd have to reduce it to 6 to allow reads/writes in a disaster scenario. I'm still not sure if I got it right this time, but maybe you're better off without the LRC plugin with the limited number of hosts. Instead you could use the jerasure plugin with a profile like k=4 m=5 allowing an entire DC to fail without losing data access (we have one customer using that). Zitat von Eugen Block <eblock@xxxxxx>:Hi, disclaimer: I haven't used LRC in a real setup yet, so there might be some misunderstandings on my side. But I tried to play around with one of my test clusters (Nautilus). Because I'm limited in the number of hosts (6 across 3 virtual DCs) I tried two different profiles with lower numbers to get a feeling for how that works. # first attempt ceph:~ # ceph osd erasure-code-profile set LRCprofile plugin=lrc k=4 m=2 l=3 crush-failure-domain=host For every third OSD one parity chunk is added, so 2 more chunks to store ==> 8 chunks in total. Since my failure-domain is host and I only have 6 I get incomplete PGs. # second attempt ceph:~ # ceph osd erasure-code-profile set LRCprofile plugin=lrc k=2 m=2 l=2 crush-failure-domain=hostThis gives me 6 chunks in total to store across 6 hosts which works:ceph:~ # ceph pg ls-by-pool lrcpool PG OBJECTS DEGRADED MISPLACED UNFOUND BYTES OMAP_BYTES* OMAP_KEYS* LOG STATE SINCE VERSION REPORTED UP ACTING SCRUB_STAMP DEEP_SCRUB_STAMP 50.0 1 0 0 0 619 0 0 1 active+clean 72s 18410'1 18415:54 [27,13,0,2,25,7]p27 [27,13,0,2,25,7]p27 2023-05-02 14:53:54.322135 2023-05-02 14:53:54.322135 50.1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 active+clean 6m 0'0 18414:26 [27,33,22,6,13,34]p27 [27,33,22,6,13,34]p27 2023-05-02 14:53:54.322135 2023-05-02 14:53:54.322135 50.2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 active+clean 6m 0'0 18413:25 [1,28,14,4,31,21]p1 [1,28,14,4,31,21]p1 2023-05-02 14:53:54.322135 2023-05-02 14:53:54.322135 50.3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 active+clean 6m 0'0 18413:24 [8,16,26,33,7,25]p8 [8,16,26,33,7,25]p8 2023-05-02 14:53:54.322135 2023-05-02 14:53:54.322135 After stopping all OSDs on one host I was still able to read and write into the pool, but after stopping a second host one PG from that pool went "down". That I don't fully understand yet, but I just started to look into it. With your setup (12 hosts) I would recommend to not utilize all of them so you have capacity to recover, let's say one "spare" host per DC, leaving 9 hosts in total. A profile with k=3 m=3 l=2 could make sense here, resulting in 9 total chunks (one more parity chunks for every other OSD), min_size 4. But as I wrote, it probably doesn't have the resiliency for a DC failure, so that needs some further investigation. Regards, Eugen Zitat von Michel Jouvin <michel.jouvin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:Hi, No... our current setup is 3 datacenters with the same configuration, i.e. 1 mon/mgr + 4 OSD servers with 16 OSDs each. Thus the total of 12 OSDs servers. As with LRC plugin, k+m must be a multiple of l, I found that k=9/m=66/l=5 with crush-locality=datacenter was achieving my goal of being resilient to a datacenter failure. Because I had this, I considered that lowering the crush failure domain to osd was not a major issue in my case (as it would not be worst than a datacenter failure if all the shards are on the same server in a datacenter) and was working around the lack of hosts for k=9/m=6 (15 OSDs). May be it helps, if I give the erasure code profile used: crush-device-class=hdd crush-failure-domain=osd crush-locality=datacenter crush-root=default k=9 l=5 m=6 plugin=lrc The previously mentioned strange number for min_size for the pool created with this profile has vanished after Quincy upgrade as this parameter is no longer in the CRUH map rule! and the `ceph osd pool get` command reports the expected number (10): ---------ceph osd pool get fink-z1.rgw.buckets.data min_sizemin_size: 10 -------- Cheers, Michel Le 29/04/2023 à 20:36, Curt a écrit :Hello, What is your current setup, 1 server pet data center with 12 osd each?

As explained in a previous mail, I setup a 15-chunk/OSD EC pool (k=9, m=6) but I have only 12 OSD servers in the cluster. To workaround theproblem I defined the failure domain as 'osd' with the reasoningthat asI was using the LRC plugin, I had the warranty that I could loosea sitewithout impact, thus the possibility to loose 1 OSD server.
