I'm currently running a 3-Node Hyperconverged Proxmox/Ceph cluster. I'm in the process of transferring a large amount of data (100TB+) from an old unRAID instance to the new cluster infrastructure. Having to copy data 1HDD as at time to the new CephFS pool, then wipe the disk and add it to the OSD pool. I don't have any more space HDDs laying around or the budget to buy more drives which would make this process much easier.
Half way through the process I'm now stuck with the "ceph balancer" reporting "Too many objects are misplaced;" and "283 active+remapped+backfill_wait" has remained unchanged for over 12hrs now. The cluster is idling, but not "self healing" as I would expect it to.
Before I started this migration, I pushed and pulled Ceph and broke it a number of ways as part of testing. I was always able to get it back to Healthy_OK without any Data loss or extended downtime bar a service/server restart. I've read through the docs for this issue and haven't found anything useful as to how to kick this into gear.
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/operations/health-checks/#object-misplaced
Data migration is currently on hold.
NB: 1-There is a bit of a mismatch between my OSD sizes (the reweights) were me trying to get Ceph to spread to the larger drives. Instead of constantly filling small drives. 2-nearfull OSD is one of the 3 4TB drives (there are 16TB drives nearly empty but it's not balancing across.
