According to the section of the manual on this, TROUBLESHOOTING MONITORS -> RECOVERY USING OSDS, another thing that you lose when you use ceph-objectstore-tool --op update-mon-db to recover a lost monitor database is the MDS maps. That seems like a pretty casual way of saying if your monitor database gets corrupted, you can kiss your entire cephfs filesystem goodbye. Is that what it means? Is there a way to recover the MDS maps or otherwise gain access to all the files once you've recovered access to the OSDs? -- Bryan Henderson San Jose, California _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
