ceph-troubleshooting skillA

ceph-troubleshooting is agent-read markdown (skill) from air-gapped/skills: Diagnose and recover an unhealthy Ceph cluster, with Rook-on-Kubernetes specifics: slow or stuck recovery/backfill under the mClock scheduler (why osd_max_backfills "does nothing"), nearfull/backfillfull/full, inconsistent/unfound/incomplete/down PGs, BLUESTORE_SLOW_OP_ALERT vs SLOW_OPS, OSD OOM kills from pod memory sizing, mon quorum loss and restore-quorum, OSD removal with the kubectl-rook-ceph plugin, stale RBD watchers after node loss, and field-reported failure modes on Squid 19.2 and Ten.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# ceph-troubleshooting

Defaults below were read from `src/common/options/*.yaml.in` at v18.2.8,
v19.2.6 and v20.2.4 on **2026-09-23**; procedures from docs.ceph.com and
Rook docs at v1.20.7. On a live cluster, `ceph config show osd.N <opt>` beats
any default written here.

## First moves

1. `ceph health detail` — work from the codes, not from `ceph status`.
2. Under Rook, run Ceph commands through the toolbox or
   `kubectl rook-ceph ceph <args>` (plugin v0.9.6, 2026-03-31). If the
   toolbox fails with `handle_auth_bad_method` / errno 13 right after a
   Ceph upgrade, it is a key rotation, not an outage — see
   rook-ceph-best-practices.
3. `AUTH_INSECURE_*` codes on 19.2.6+ / 20.2.4+ belong to the CVE-2025-30156
   rotation (rook-ceph-best-practices), not to this skill.

## Recovery and backfill are slow — mClock

`osd_op_queue` defaults to `mclock_scheduler` on Quincy through Tentacle.
Under mClock, `osd_max_backfills` and `osd_recovery_max_active*` are
**locked**: `ceph config set` reports success and the value is reverted to
the profile's built-in. This is the usual "raised backfills, nothing
changed" report.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add air-gapped/skills/ceph-troubleshooting@git:20260923.3c68991
Exact content
mdr add air-gapped/skills/ceph-troubleshooting@sha256:ac40e4cc3fffffb5

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
