Set noout for just the affected OSDs. Ensure they’re all in a single failure domain. Shut them down, unmount. Repave the OS, carefully avoiding OSD drives, reactivate. Rinse lather repeat. Clear flags once they’re back up. If you really need to repave OSDs, destroy them and backfill with throttling. You’re using 3R I presume ? > That being said, since our cluster is a bit older and the majority of > our bluestore osd's are provisioned in the 'simple' method using a > small metadata partition and the remainder as a raw partition where > now it seems the suggested way is to use the lvm layout and tmpfs. So they’re grandfathered ceph-disk. Are they really using separate partitions or are WAL+DB just co-located? What are you trying to accomplish here? Are the existing OS installs “bad”? Eg. / filesystem too small? Or inconsistent in some way? Prima facie I don’t see - from what you’ve said - a significant benefit. If your OSDs were substantially Filestore that would be slightly more motivation but not compelling. > > Anyways, I'm all ears and appreciate any feedback. > > Jared Baker > Ontario Institute for Cancer Research > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io > To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
