There are two meanings of degraded here. The degraded PGs are those
which don't yet have the number of active OSDs as they should (ie, the
PG wants 3 OSDs to be holding it and only 2 are). The number of
degraded objects is the number of missing replicas of objects. The
difference here is that an OSD can be an active member of a PG without
holding all the objects yet; the general sequence is that you lose an
OSD so a bunch of PGs go degraded, and then the OSDs peer and bring in
a new replica so the PG is no longer degraded but most of the objects
are until they get copied over.
Unfound objects are those which the cluster believes should exist but
can't find anywhere, either because the only copy is on a down OSD or
because there's a bug which caused them to believe in non-existent
objects.
Are you using the RADOS gateway? If you are, that's probably where
your unfound objects came from; there was a long-standing accounting
bug which had a fix merged earlier this week.

Nope; unfound objects will only block access to that specific object.
I'll have to look into whether rbd could trigger the same bug that RGW
was or not.

Those are the lists of OSDs which are heartbeating the given OSD, in
and out. The first group is OSDs which the one in question is keeping
track of; the second are OSDs which the one in question should be
reporting to.

That's the intention, but it's not a well-tested or complete solution
at this time. You shouldn't use it yet.
