Open Stack

Hi all,

We are in the process of retiring one of our old platforms and last 
night our ceph cluster went into an "Error" state briefly because 1 of 
the OSDs went close to full. The data got re-balanced fine and the 
health of ceph is now "OK" - however we have about 40% of our instances 
that now have corrupt disks which is a bit odd.

Even more strange is that we cannot get them into rescue mode. As soon 
as we try we the instances seem to hang during the bootup process when 
they are trying to mount "/dev/vdb1" and we eventually get a kernel 
timeout error as below:

Warning: fsck not present, so skipping root file system

I have even tried using a different image for nova rescue and we are 
getting the same results. Has anyone come across this before?

This system is running OpenStack Mitaka with Ceph Jewel.

Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Regards,
