Thank you for the provided information and considerations, David! Our experience with Ubuntu (so far) adheres to your opinion. Nevertheless, we will try CentOS, on the medium / long term. Given the overall reliability of our current setup, it will have to provide significant benefits in order to s

All of that said, the most important factor is in regards to your most expensive asset... personnel. If you have a dozen sysadmins and you're maintaining a few platforms each using their own OS, then your company is wasting a lot of money in your admins dealing with that extra intellectual cost of

[ceph-users] PGs inconsistent, do I fear data loss?

2017-10-28 Thread Mario Giammarco
Hello, we recently upgraded two clusters to Ceph luminous with bluestore and we discovered that we have many more pgs in state active+clean+inconsistent. (Possible data damage, xx pgs inconsistent) This is probably due to checksums in bluestore that discover more errors. We have some pools with r
