Issue

Ceph internal cluster is "FULL", xx full osd(s)
How to delete stale / orphan cephfs clones and snapshots

Resolution

  • A ReadOnly OCS or ODF cluster can be fixed by either increasing the Storage Capacity of the cluster or by deleting unwanted data from the cluster.

Increasing the OCS/ODF Cluster Capacity

The Storage Capacity can be increased: Scaling Storage for ODF.

Deleting Unwanted Data

For CephFS: How to delete stale / orphan cephfs clones and snapshots

Increasing the Full and Near Full ratios

  • After ODF version 4.20 for increasing ratios please refer the Documentation Setting Ceph OSD full thresholds
  • For versions until 4.19 or before you can execute the commands bellow to increase the near full and full ratios. The commands will increase all ratios, remember that full ratio needs to be bigger than backfill full which needs to be bigger than near full.

NOTE: Do not increase the FULL or NEARFULL or BACKFILLFULL threshold above 88% without engaging Red Hat Support.

$ ceph osd set-full-ratio 0.88
$ ceph osd set-backfillfull-ratio 0.83
$ ceph osd set-nearfull-ratio 0.78

Fixing full error

  • To get the cluster out of FULL, delete as much unwanted data as possible:
    • Actually deleting data;
    • Running fstrim on RBD volumes and scheduling fstrim via a cron jobs;
    • Removing orphaned RBD and CephFS volumes.
  • Once the data is deleted and the OCS/ODF cluster is out of FULL state, revert the ratios to default.
$ ceph osd set-full-ratio 0.85
$ ceph osd set-backfillfull-ratio 0.80
$ ceph osd set-nearfull-ratio 0.75

Root Cause

  • The backend storage, Red Hat Ceph, is full and a capacity should be increased.
  • Lack of Monitoring and Capacity Plan
  • There are orphaned CephFS Clones and/or Snapshots.
  • Ceph RBD volumes need fstrim executed to reclaim space.

Diagnostic Steps

Check Ceph usage inside Rook Toolbox

  • Use KCS Solution #4628891 to enable rook-ceph-toolbox.
    Checking ceph status:
$ oc rsh `oc get pods -l app=rook-ceph-tools -o name` 
sh-5.1$ bash
bash-5.1$ ceph status 
  • Inside rook-ceph-toolbox pod run the commands ceph df; ceph osd df tree. Check if they are OK as the examples below:
bash-5.1$ ceph df
