Ceph: PG stuck in "remapped" or "undersized" or "degraded" and no recovery or backfill activity.
Issue
- PG stuck in "
remapped" or "undersized" or "degraded" and no recovery or backfill activity (See the Diagnostic section forceph statusexample output).- Only 1 (or very few PGs) are in this state.
- From the
io:section of ceph status, there is no recovery activity. - The system may also be behind is scrubbing as newer versions of Ceph will not schedule scrubbing PGs unless those PGs are
active+clean.
