<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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:</p>
<pre>Warning: fsck not present, so skipping root file system

</pre>
<p>I have even tried using a different image for nova rescue and we
are getting the same results. Has anyone come across this before?</p>
<p>This system is running OpenStack Mitaka with Ceph Jewel.</p>
<p>Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
