Dear All, We are "in a bit of a pickle"... No reply to my message (23/03/2020), subject "OSD: FAILED ceph_assert(clone_size.count(clone))" So I'm presuming it's not possible to recover the crashed OSD This is bad news, as one pg may be lost, (we are using EC 8+2, pg dump shows [NONE,NONE,NONE,388,125,25,427,226,77,154] ) Without this pg we have 1.8PB of broken cephfs. I could rebuild the cluster from scratch, but this means no user backups for a couple of weeks. The cluster has 10 nodes, uses an EC 8:2 pool for cephfs data (replicated NVMe metdata pool) and is running Nautilus 14.2.8 Clearly, it would be nicer if we could fix the OSD, but if this isn't possible, can someone confirm that the right procedure to recover from a corrupt pg is: 1) Stop all client access 2) find all files that store data on the bad pg, with: # cephfs-data-scan pg_files /backup 5.750 2> /dev/null > /root/bad_files 3) delete all of these bad files - presumably using truncate? or is "rm" fine? 4) destroy the bad pg # ceph osd force-create-pg 5.750 5) Copy the missing files back with rsync or similar... a better "recipe" or other advice gratefully received, best regards, Jake **** Note: I am working from home until further notice.
