Hey all,

Hobbyist user here. I have a three node cluster with ceph and after being away on vacation returrned to find a monitor down and the following status message:

root@pve01:~# systemctl status ceph-mon@pve01
× ceph-mon@pve01.service - Ceph cluster monitor daemon

I have been looking at other posts but I may be in over my head. Not sure what logs would be helpful here? Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting this?


Thanks,

gurubert-

Thank you so much for your reply. I did have a look at the logs you referenced but failed to recognize anything as the obvious error starting point.

I have also been looking at the monitor syslog via the GUI and see the following ALOT in that log:

May 14 11:28:53 pve01 ceph-mon[1362]: ./src/mon/MonitorDBStore.h: In function 'int MonitorDBStore::apply_transaction(TransactionRef)' thread 7d24f91296c0 time 2024-05-14T11:28:53.634348-0400

This is a small snippet. Does this help in determng my next steps?

Thanks again for you help,
James
 
The /var/lib/ceph filesystem appears to be OK and disk utilization is at 1%.

Is it possible to just delete and re-create a new monitor? Will that restore quorum?
