Hi Frank, fs fail isn't ideal -- there's an 'fs down' command for this.
Here's a procedure we used, last used in the nautilus days: 1. If possible, umount fs from all the clients, so that all dirty pages are flushed. 2. Prepare the ceph cluster: ceph osd set noout/noin 3. Wait until there is zero IO on the cluster, unmount any leftover clients. 4. ceph fs set cephfs down true 5. Stop all the ceph-osd's. 6. Power off the cluster. (At this point we had only the ceph-mon's ceph-mgr's running -- you can shut those down too). 7. Power on the cluster, wait for mon/mgr/osds/mds to power-up. 8. ceph fs set cephfs down false 9. Reconnect and test clients. 10. ceph osd unset noout/noin -- Dan On Wed, Oct 19, 2022 at 12:43 PM Frank Schilder <fr...@dtu.dk> wrote: > > Hi all, > > we need to prepare for temporary shut-downs of a part of our ceph cluster.
