We have seen the same problems 8 years ago. I can only recommend never
to use cache tiering in production.
At Cephalocon this was part of my talk and as far as I remember cache
tiering will also disappear from ceph soon.
Cache tiering has been deprecated in the Reef release as it has lacked a
maintainer for a very long time. This does not mean it will be certainly
removed, but we may choose to remove it without much further notice.

Which ceph version is this? I'm trying to understand how removing a
pool leaves the PGs of that pool... Do you have any logs or something
from when you removed the pool?
We'll have to deal with a cache tier in the forseeable future as well
so this is quite relevant for us as well. Maybe I'll try to reproduce
it in a test cluster first.
Are those SSDs exclusively for the cache tier or are they used by
other pools as well? If they were used only for the cache tier you
should be able to just remove them without any risk. But as I said,
I'd rather try to understand before purging them.

Hello Eugen,
yes, we followed the documentation and everything worked fine. The
cache is gone.
Removing the pool worked well. Everything is clean.
The PGs are empty active+clean.
Possible solutions:
1.
ceph pg {pg-id} mark_unfound_lost delete
I do not think this is the right way since it is for PGs with status
unfound. But it could work also.
2.
Set the following for the three disk:
ceph osd lost {osd-id}
I am not sure how the cluster will react to this.
3.
ceph-objectstore-tool --data-path /path/to/osd --op remove --pgid 3.0
--force
Now, will the cluster accept the removed PG status?
4.
The three disks are still presented in the crush rule, class ssd,
each single OSD under one host entry.
What if I remove them from crush?
Do you have a better idea, Eugen?
Best,
Malte

Hi,
just for clarity, you're actually talking about the cache tier as
described in the docs [1]? And you followed the steps until 'ceph
osd tier remove cold-storage hot-storage' successfully? And the pool
has been really deleted successfully ('ceph osd pool ls detail')?

Hello,
we removed an SSD cache tier and its pool.
The PGs for the pool do still exist.
The cluster is healthy.
The PGs are empty and they reside on the cache tier pool's SSDs.
We like to take out the disks but it is not possible. The cluster
sees the PGs and answers with a HEALTH_WARN.
Because of the replication of three there are still 128 PGs on
three of the 24 OSDs. We were able to remove the other OSDs.
Summary:
- pool removed
- 3 x 128 empty PGs still exist
- 3 of 24 OSDs still exist
How is it possible to remove these empty and healthy PGs?
The only way I found was something like:
ceph pg {pg-id} mark_unfound_lost delete
Is that the right way?
Some output of:
ceph pg ls-by-osd 23
