  • I had a weird issue with a server SSD.

    6 months ahead of scheduled swap, it didn’t die, it just started reading and writing really sluggishly, making the whole server behave really weird. Disk smart statistics looked healthy and disk self tests passed with flying colors. Anyway, had to swap it early and do a re-install of the OS.

    The rest of my cluster temporarily took over running some pods and only saw downtime for a few pods that were dependent on some disks in the failing server.

    I guess the incident has restarted my interest in distributed storage.
