Hi!
it is unclear for us what min_size means besides what it does. i hope someone
can clear this up :)
scenario:
size is 3 and min_size is 2
2 rooms with 100 OSDs each and this crush rule
"op": "take",
"item": -10,
"item_name": "default"
"op": "choose_firstn",
"num": 2,
"type": "room"
"op": "chooseleaf_firstn",
"num": 2,
"type": "host"
"op": "emit"
so if one room goes down/offline, around 50% of the PGs would be left with only
1 replica making them read-only.
if we'd set min_size to 1 and one room goes down, user wouldn't still be able
to access all PGs - but what is the problem with only one active PG?
someone pointed out "split brain" but I am unsure about this.
i think what happens in the worst case is this:
only 1 PG is available, client writes changes to this PG, the disk of this 1 PG
dies as well - so i guess we'd need to restore the data from the 2 offline PGs
in the room that is down and we would have lots of trouble with restoring and
also with data inconsistency, right?
thank you!
