I'm not sure if this is strictly true, but in the example of say a VM having a 40G rbd image as it's harddrive, it will split this into some 10000 4M pieces which will be spread across your PGs, and if you have less than 10000 PGs in the rbd pool, these pieces will end up on all PGs. So, if one or more PGs are inactive in some way, then it would only be a matter of time before reads or writes on this VM hits one of the inactive PGs and stops there. Since most of the data is spread around regardless of if you do rgw, rbd, cephfs and so on, the effect might as well feel like "one bad PG stops the pool" since all the load balancing done in the cluster will make your clients get stuck on the inactive PGs sooner or later. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
