Hi all we have a Ceph Cluster with 64 OSD drives in 10 servers. We originally formatted the OSDs with btrfs but have had numerous problems (server kernel panics) that we could point back to btrfs. We are therefore in the process of reformatting our OSDs to XFS. We have a process that works, but I was wondering, if there is a simpler / faster way.
Currently we 'ceph osd out' all drives of a server and wait for the data to migrate away, then delete the OSD, recreate it and start the OSD processes again. This takes at least 1-2 days per server (mostly waiting for the data to migrate back and forth) Here's the script we are using: --- cut --- #! /bin/bash OSD=$1 PART=$2 HOST=$3 echo "changing partition ${PART}1 to XFS for OSD: $OSD on host: $HOST" read -p "continue or CTRL-C" service ceph -a stop osd.$OSD ceph osd crush remove osd.$OSD ceph auth del osd.$OSD ceph osd rm $OSD ceph osd create # this should give you back the same osd number as the one you just removed umount ${PART}1 parted $PART rm 1 # remove partion and create a new one parted $PART mkpart primary 0% 100% # remove partion and create a new one mkfs.xfs -f -i size=2048 ${PART}1 -L osd.$OSD mount -o inode64,noatime ${PART}1 /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-$OSD ceph-osd -i $OSD --mkfs --mkkey --mkjournal ceph auth add osd.$OSD osd 'allow *' mon 'allow rwx' -i /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-${OSD}/keyring ceph osd crush set $OSD 1 root=default host=$HOST service ceph -a start osd.$OSD --- cut --- cheers Jens-Christian -- SWITCH Jens-Christian Fischer, Peta Solutions Werdstrasse 2, P.O.
