Ceph Cluster
Overview
- Cluster ID: 204c8171-e0b1-4f40-9de2-a7cfe4ef68d9

- Nodes: 9 Proxmox hosts, 3 MONs (proxmox5/7/4), MGR on proxmox5
- OSDs: 15 (8 SSD, 6 HDD, 1 new SSD on ms-a2-2), all up/in
- Capacity: 6.0 TiB used / 21 TiB total

CRUSH Rules
- Rule 0 (replicated_rule): default root, host-level placement
- Rule 1 (replicated_hdd): default~hdd, host-level placement
- Rule 2 (replicated_ssd): default~ssd, host-level placement
- Rule 3 (media_ec): default~hdd, OSD-level placement (choose_indep)
Known Issues
Weight Imbalance Causing Placement Failures (2026-07-24)
HDD hosts have extreme weight disparity: n5pro=10.15TB, ubuntu=5.49TB, proxmox7=0.50TB, proxmox6=0.30TB.
CRUSH host-level selection (rule 1) often picks only 2 of 4 HDD hosts → up sets with 2 OSDs instead of 3.
Result: PGs stuck in active+clean+remapped because up set < min_size.
Mitigation (2026-07-24):
- Reweighted osd.7 from 0.80 → 1.0 → fixed EC pool 8.3d (NONE → osd.7)
- Equalized pool 6 pg_num 120 → 112 + nopgchange=true
- Manual pg-upmap for stuck PGs: 5.13 → [1,6,7], 6.6c → [11,8,7], 6.58 → [11,6,7]
- All
clean+remappedeliminated. Triggered rebalancing wave (43 PGs backfilling at 26 MiB/s).
Long-term: Small HDDs (osd.7 0.5TB, osd.10 0.3TB) cause CRUSH placement failures. Replace with larger disks or create separate CRUSH root for large HDDs only.
Pool 6 pg_num/pgp_num Mismatch (Fixed 2026-07-24)
Pool hdd_disk had pg_num=120, pgp_num=112 (autoscaler reducing to 32). Equalized pg_num to 112. Set nopgchange=true to prevent further autoscaler interference.
BlueFS Spillover on osd.8
osd.8 spilled 128KiB metadata from db device (2.1GiB of 30GiB) to slow device.
Cosmetic warning, no data risk. Fix: ceph-bluestore-tool bluefs-bdev-expand --path /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-8
Slow Operations on osd.2 and osd.7
osd.2 (81% full, fragmentation 0.80) and osd.7 (small HDD) experience slow BlueStore ops. osd.2 NVMe has 92% wear — candidate for replacement.
osd.0 NVMe Wear
92% Wear, Critical Warning → Austausch planen.
EC Pool k=4+m=1 — No Rebalance Headroom
With 5 OSDs kein Rebalance Headroom. Siehe Solution Doc: docs/solutions/architecture/2026-07-12-ceph-ec-pool-no-rebalance-headroom.md
