Hello Cephers,
I’m trying to understand Cephfs design and specially how file system view reflect OSD pools in order to perform a backup / restore operation (VM context). I’m able to backup and restore sucessfully OSDs but I have some issues with filesystem layer. When I create files after backup time, after OSD restoration I’m still seeing these files even if they are not usable (since osd do not have knowledge of these). I tried to shutdown/start fs before/after restoration but no change Same no luck with journal export/import I had a look at http://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/cephfs/disaster-recovery/ but since I do not really know what’s beneath all the tools/procedures, I don’t know how to start with this I know there’s a really usefull feature called cephfs snapshot (.snap) but for some reasons I could not use it here. Could someone kind enough to guide me ? My goal is to restore datas and cephfs layer. OSD restoration seems ok but how to make cephfs consistent with the OSD pool restoration ? Is there some cache files somewhere on MDS to refresh ? (did not find any) Or maybe something wrong with the OSD metadata pool linked to my cephfs fs but I don’t really know how to check I’m using Ceph Mimic (ceph version 13.2.5 (cbff874f9007f1869bfd3821b7e33b2a6ffd4988) mimic (stable)) with 3 MDS / 1 active and bluestore Thank you for your precious help ! Vincent
