On 16 july 2023 we received a mail from OVH to tell us :
- ping was lost on ovh3 at 19:31
- an intervention took place, that ended at 19:44
Content of the intervention:
Serveur 'freezé' sur "Kernel panic - not syncing". Pas de réponse clavier.
Actions : Nous avons effectué un redémarrage. Test hardware en échec : Le disque SN :5PHAUL7F est défectueux. RAM : OK. Cooling : OK. Redémarrage du serveur.
Le serveur est démarré sur disque et est sur l'écran de connexion. Ping OK et les services sont ouverts.
Recommandations : Merci de bien vouloir procéder à une sauvegarde de vos données et de contacter le support afin de remplacer le > disque défectueux.
Additional details : SMART_ATA_ERROR : SMART ATA errors found on disk 5PHAUL7F (Total : 2)
So they tell us they will replace the disk when we are ready (backups done).
Note: to find the ticket back:
- gone to https://help.ovhcloud.com/csm/fr-home?id=csm_index
- signed in
- followed entry "tickets" under search bar
- "notification services" in tickets
On 2023-07-17.
I did a backup of /etc on ovh3 and copied it to off2.
I tell OVH I was ready for the intervention through OVH console:
- added all requested informations
- I got disk serial number with
udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sdc | grep ID_SERIAL - for RAID status I put the result of
sudo zpool status - added reference of incident and PDF of it
- I got disk serial number with
- ticket CS8088256 was created
I proposed to make the change the same day between 15:00 and 17:00 UTC.
I later got confirmation for that schedule from OVH team.
At 14:30 UTC, I changed CNAME entry for images.openfoodfacts.org to point to off1.
At 17:03 (15:03 UTC) I received a mail telling the operation will take place after 15min
At 17:23 I received a mail telling me the server was rebooted in rescue mode
I ssh the server but realized rescue mode was not useful to me.
So I go in OVH console, change boot type to disk, and ask for cold reboot.
Now I ssh ovh3, and started a root session.
zpool status is as expected
# zpool status
pool: rpool
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
invalid. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

So it took about 3 days and 18 hours.
To leviate pressure on OVH3 we wanted to serve images with off2.
First I wanted to use the off container to serve images. But as I see it would take more time than expected, and also because I might need to reboot the container, I decided to go straight and do it directly on the host (as on ovh3).
Installed nginx on off2:
apt update && apt install nginx certbotCopied config and certificates from ovh3:
rsync -a [email protected]:/etc/letsencrypt/ /etc/letsencrypt/
rm -rf /etc/letsencrypt/*/ovh3.*
rsync -a [email protected]:/etc/nginx/acme.sh /etc/nginx
scp [email protected]:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/static-off /etc/nginx/sites-available/
ln -s ../sites-available/static-off /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/created a dataset for nginx logs as on ovh3:
zfs create zfs-hdd/logs-nginx
chown www-data:www-data /zfs-hdd/logs-nginxEdited /etc/nginx/site-enabled/static-off:
-
changed upstream ip:
upstream openfoodfacts { server 10.0.0.2:443 weight=100; server off1.openfoodfacts.org:443; … -
replaced every rpool by zfs-hdd (%s/rpool/zfs-hdd/g)
tested with nginx -t
restart nginx:
systemctl restart nginxTest from my machine by editing /etc/hosts:
# images transfer on off2
213.36.253.208 images.openfoodfacts.org
and going to the website… works like a charm.
I then go to OVH console to change DNS CNAME entry of images.openfoodfacts.org to point to off2.openfoodfacts.org.
