I'm not familiar with dd_rescue, but I've just been reading about it. I'm not seeing any features that would be beneficial in this scenario that aren't also available in dd. What specific features give it "really a far better chance of restoring a copy of your disk" than dd? I'm always interested in learning about new recovery tools.

You'll want to use 'conv=noerror' with your dd command since your disk is failing. Then you could either re-attach the OSD from the new source or attempt to retrieve objects from the filestore on it. Like somebody else already pointed out In problem "cases like disk, use dd_rescue. It has really a far better chance of restoring a copy of your disk --WjW I have actually done this before by creating an RBD that matches the disk size, performing the dd, running xfs_repair, and eventually adding it back to the cluster as an OSD. RBDs as OSDs is certainly a temporary arrangement for repair only, but I'm happy to report that it worked flawlessly in my case. I was able to weight the OSD to 0, offload all of its data, then remove it for a full recovery, at which point I just deleted the RBD. The possibilities afforded by Ceph inception are endless. ☺ Steve Taylor | Senior Software Engineer | StorageCraft Technology Corporation 380 Data Drive Suite 300 | Draper | Utah | 84020 Office: 801.871.2799 | If you are not the intended recipient of this message or received it erroneously, please notify the sender and delete it, together with any attachments, and be advised that any dissemination or copying of this message is prohibited.

I'll have to order some hdd soon and try these out. Car battery idea is nice! I may try that.. =) Do they last longer? Ones that fit the UPS original battery spec didn't last very long... part of the reason why I gave up on them.. =P My wife probably won't like the idea of car battery hanging out though ha! The OSD1 (one with mostly ok OSDs, except that smart failure) motherboard doesn't have any additional SATA connectors available. Would it be safe to add another OSD host?

Follow advice of Ronny Aasen on hot to recover data from hard drives 4 get cooling to drives or you will loose more !

So far, HDD failures have been very rare for this environment. =) It just doesn't get loaded as much! I am not sure what to expect, seeing that "unfound" and just a feeling of possibility of maybe getting OSD back made me excited about it. =) Thanks for letting me know what should be the priority.
