Forgot to add, on the 'out' node, the following would be logged in the osd logfile: 7f5688e59700 -1 osd/PG.cc: In function 'void PG::fulfill_info(pg_shard_t, const pg_query_t&, std::pair<pg_shard_t, pg_info_t>&)' thread 7f5688e59700 time 2014-07-05 21:47:51.595687 osd/PG.cc: 4424: FAILED assert(from == primary) and in the others when they crashed: 7fdcb9600700 -1 osd/PG.cc: In function 'PG::RecoveryState::Crashed::Crashed(boost::statechart::state<PG::RecoveryState::Crashed, PG::RecoveryState::RecoveryMachine>::my_context)' thread 7fdcb9600700 time 2014-07-05 21:14:57.260547 osd/PG.cc: 5307: FAILED assert(0 == "we got a bad state machine event") (sometimes that would appear in the 'out' node too). Even after the rebalance is complete and the old node is completely retired, with one node down and 2 still running (as a test), I get a very small number (0.006%) of "unfound" pg's. This is a bit of a worry... James _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
