We assimilated Ceph's ceph.conf file during our Nautilus upgrade and subsequently have a minimal configuration file. We are however now unable to remove configuration entries.

Code:
[admin@kvm1b ~]# ceph config dump | grep -e WHO -e rbd_default_features
WHO    MASK LEVEL    OPTION                             VALUE          RO
global      advanced rbd_default_features               7

[admin@kvm1b ~]# ceph config rm global rbd_default_features
[admin@kvm1b ~]# ceph config rm global rbd_default_features
[admin@kvm1b ~]# ceph config rm global rbd_default_features

[admin@kvm1b ~]# ceph config dump | grep -e WHO -e rbd_default_features
WHO    MASK LEVEL    OPTION                             VALUE          RO
global      advanced rbd_default_features               7

[admin@kvm1b ~]# ceph config set global rbd_default_features 31
[admin@kvm1b ~]# ceph config dump | grep -e WHO -e rbd_default_features
WHO    MASK LEVEL    OPTION                             VALUE          RO
global      advanced rbd_default_features               7
global      advanced rbd_default_features               31


Any ideas how I fix this?
 
Can you please share your ceph.conf? And is there anything in the ceph logs? As I it should override the config setting, not add another one.
 
Is the cluster healthy? And on which ceph versions are you?

EDIT: And is there anything in the ceph logs?
 
Ceph Nautilus 14.2.4.1,


Herewith our Ceph Nautilus upgrade nodes that we ran through on 7 separate clusters:
Code:
cd /etc/pve;
ceph config assimilate-conf -i ceph.conf -o ceph.conf.new;
mv ceph.conf.new ceph.conf;
pico /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
  # add back: cluster_network
  #           public_network
ceph config rm global cluster_network;
ceph config rm global public_network;
ceph config set global mon_osd_down_out_subtree_limit host;

Apologies, yes the cluster is healthy:
Code:

When you try to delete the config setting is there anything in the ceph logs, that indicates why there might be two entries?

Another possibility could be that the setting is locked by a service and therefore not deleted. But I guess, that would be visible in the logs.
 
Thanks. That might give it more attention.

Code:
ceph daemon mon.<id> config set debug_rbd 20/20
You can see the config set/rm with the higher debug level (/var/log/ceph/ceph-mon.<id>.log). This may hopefully shine some light on the situation.

EDIT: 0/5 is the default log value for rbd.
 
Setting this to 20/20 or 5/5 only generates the following debug information:

Enable debugging:
Code:
[admin@kvm1a ~]# ceph daemon mon.kvm1a config show | grep -i debug_rbd
  #     "debug_rbd": "0/5",
  #     "debug_rbd_mirror": "0/5",
  #     "debug_rbd_replay": "0/5",
[admin@kvm1a ~]# ceph daemon mon.kvm1a config set debug_rbd 20/20
[admin@kvm1a ~]# ceph daemon mon.kvm1a config show | grep -i debug_rbd
  #     "debug_rbd": "20/20",
  #     "debug_rbd_mirror": "0/5",

Hrm... why only 3 ceph 'config rm' references when the commands were run 4 times?

Code:
ceph config-key rm config/global/rbd_default_features
Try to remove the key like this. At least it worked on my test cluster.

I could also reproduce the issue, with having the same setting with two different values, one in the file & config db, the other only in the config db. In my case, it was two different cluster_network ranges.
 
Many thanks, that works perfectly!

Code:
[admin@kvm1a ~]# ceph config rm global rbd_default_features; ceph config-key rm config/global/rbd_default_features; ceph config dump | grep -e WHO -e rbd_default_features; ceph config set global rbd_default_features 31; ceph config dump | grep -e WHO -e rbd_default_features
key deleted
