I believe I'm having this issue as well.
In the other case, we found that some of the OSDs were behind processing
maps (by several thousand epochs).  The trick here to give them a chance
to catch up is

  ceph osd set noup
  ceph osd set nodown
  ceph osd set noout

and wait for them to stop spinning on the CPU.  You can check which map
each OSD is on with

  ceph daemon osd.NNN status

to see which epoch they are on and compare that to

  ceph osd stat

Once they are within 100 or less epochs,

  ceph osd unset noup

and let them all start up.

We haven't determined whether the original problem was caused by this or
the other way around; we'll see once they are all caught up.

I was seeing the CPU spinning too, so I think it is the same issue. Thanks for the explanation! I've been pulling my hair out for weeks.


This process solved my problem, with one caveat. When I followed it, I filled up /var/log/ceph/ and the recovery failed. I had to manually run each OSD in debugging mode until it completed the map update. Aside from that, I followed your procedure.

After that, I was able to start everything normally, and the cluster recovered within a couple of hours.


This has been keeping me awake at night. So far, it only happened to my slave cluster. I've been living in dread of seeing this happen to my master cluster. Now I know why the master cluster has been safe. When my master cluster had problems, I intervened quickly (usually rebooting the node). When the slave had problems, I fixed it in the morning. That extra delay was enough time to cause this issue.

Thank you!
