Hello ceph-users,
I'm trying to set up a linux cluster but it takes me a little longer then I
hoped for. There are some things that I do not quite understand yet. Hopefully
some of you can help me out.
1) When using ceph-deploy, a ceph.conf file is created in the current
directory and in the /etc/ceph directory. Which one is ceph-deploy using and
which one should I edit?
The usual workflow is that ceph-deploy will use the one in the current dir to
overwrite the remote one (or the one in /etc/ceph/) but will warn if this is
the case and error out specifying it needs the `--overwrite-conf` flag
to continue.
Aha, so the current dir is leading. And if I make changes to that file, it is
not overwritten by ceph-deploy?
2) I have 6 OSD running per machine. I disk zapped them with ceph-deploy
disk zap. I prepared/activated them with a separate journal on an ssd card and
they are all running.
a) Ceph-deploy disk list doesn't show me what file system is in use (or
'Linux Filesystem' as it mentions, is a filesystem in its own right). Neither
does it show you what partition or path it is using for its journal.
That ceph-deploy command calls `ceph-disk list` in the remote host which in
turn will not (as far as I could see) tell you what exact file system is in use.
b) Running parted doesn't show me what file system is in use either
(except of course that it is a 'Linux Filesystem')... I believe parted should
do the trick to show me these settings??
How are you calling parted? with what flags? Usually something like: `sudo
parted /dev/{device} print` would print some output. Can you show what you are
getting back?
I started parted and then used the print command... hmm but it now actually
returns something else...my bad. This is what it returns however (and its using
xfs)
root@cephnode1:/root@parted /dev/sdd print
Model: ATA WDC WD2000FYYZ-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdd: 2000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name
Flags
1 1049kB 2000GB 2000GB xfs
ceph data
c) When a GPT partition is corrupt (missing msdos prelude for example)
ceph-deploy disk zap doesn't work. But after 4 times repeating the command, it
works, showing up as 'Linux Filesystem'.
So it didn't work 4 times and then it did? This does sound unexpected.
It is. But I have to say, I was fooling around a little with dd to wipe the
disk clean.
d) How can you set the file system that ceph-deploy disk zap is formatting
the ceph data disk with? I like to zap a disk with XFS for example.
This is currently not supported but could be added as a feature.
Seems like a important feature. How does ceph-deploy determine what file system
the disk is zapped with?
3) Is there a way to set the data partition for ceph-mon with ceph-deploy
or should I do it manually in ceph.conf? How do I format that partition (what
file system should I use)
!This is however something I still need to do!
4) When running ceph status the following message is what I get:
root@cephnode1:/root#ceph status
cluster:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
health: HEALTH_WARN 37 pgs degraded; 192 pgs stuck unclean
monmap e1: 1 mons at
{cephnode1=172.16.1.2:6789/0<http://172.16.1.2:6789/0>}, election epoch 1,
quorum 0 cephnode1
osdmap e38: 6 osds: 6 up, 6 in
pgmap v65: 192 pgs: 155 active+remapped, 37 active+degraded; 0 bytes data,
213 MB used, 11172GB / 11172GB avail
mdsmap e1: 0/0/1 up
a) How do I get rid of the HEALTH_WARN message? Can I run some tool that
initiates a repair?
b) I did not put any data in it yet, but it already uses a whopping 213
MB, why?
5) Last but not least, my config file looks like this
root@cephnode1:/root#cat /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
[global]
fsid = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
mon_initial_members = cephnode1
mon_host = 172.16.1.2
auth_supported = cephx
osd_journal_size = 1024
filestore_xattr_use_omap = true
This is really strange, since the documentation states that the minimum
requirement for a config with my configuration should at least have the [mon.1]
and [osd.1] [osd.2] [osd.3] [osd.4] [osd.5] [osd.6] directives. I have set up
separate journaling for my OSD's but it doesn't show in my conf file. Also the
journaling partitions are 2GB big and not 1024MB (if that is what it means
then).
I can really use your help, since I'm stuck for the moment.
Regards,
Johannes
