pg 2.b not deep-scrubbed since…

Posted on by mario

With the ceph update that I nade to 19.2.3 I got warnings like

pg 2.b not deep-scrubbed since 2026-02-27T00:56:11.986819+0100
pg 2.fa not deep-scrubbed since 2026-02-27T05:32:34.264221+0100

It seems that sometimes the nightly deepscrub window is too short. I don#t like warnings in the dashboard from my proxmox cluster.
So I started to deep scrub that placement group (PG) on demand during buisness hours :D

ceph pg deep-scrub 2.b

I have 2048 PGs over 48 OSDs each 8 TiB. it took 20 Minutes to complete that one PG.

zfs snapshot sort by size

Posted on by mario

When you see your zpool exploding, but the “used” size isn’t that much, you may take a look at your snaphosts.

First find the dataset with the that has the largest snapshot

zfs list -o name,usedbysnapshots | sort -r -k2

example output

tank/mails                                  56.3G
tank/store                                   261M
tank/docker                                 2.38M

In this case the tank/mails dataset should be looked at.

Snapshots can then be listed for that filesystem by using a command

# zfs list -t snapshot -r 
zfs list -t snapshot -r tank/mails

ceph scrubbing time

Posted on by mario

When you don’t scrub your ceph pool it will scrub itself when you don’t want it to scrub: during working hours. To avoid that you can set the time in the night when scrubbing is allowed

the ceph config set is global for the cluster / all nodes.

root@pve-01:/etc/ceph# ceph config get osd osd_scrub_begin_hour
0
root@pve-01:/etc/ceph# ceph config set osd osd_scrub_begin_hour 22
root@pve-01:/etc/ceph# ceph config get osd osd_scrub_begin_hour
22
root@pve-01:/etc/ceph# ceph config get osd osd_scrub_end_hour
0
root@pve-01:/etc/ceph# ceph config set osd osd_scrub_end_hour 7
root@pve-01:/etc/ceph# ceph config get osd osd_scrub_end_hour
7
root@pve-01:/etc/ceph#

ZFS rename disk path

zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
config:

        NAME                                          STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        tank                                          ONLINE       0     0     0

            usb-SanDisk_SDSSDA-1T00_0123456789CA-0:0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            da3p4                                     ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

zpool set path=/dev/disk-by-id/sdsdsdsd tank da3p4
zpool set path=/dev/gpt/my_nice_name

just type `zpool import` and you will see the name that you can import.

if you want to change the mount path use

zpool import -R /other/path poolname

to rename the pool use

zpool import original_name new_name
