Thanks for the post Kristaps Cudars. It was an interesting read and something to keep and eye out for.
This is the script I use to start ceph backup: echo "Starting Ceph...." echo "- Clearing OSD Flags" ceph osd unset noout ceph osd unset norecover ceph osd unset norebalance ceph osd unset nobackfill ceph osd unset nodown ceph osd unset pause for FS in $(ceph fs ls -f json | jq -r '.[] | .name'); do echo "- Setting $FS joinable" ceph fs set $FS joinable true done ceph status We have 768 OSDs and I haven't had any problem using it.
