This scheme lets you control how and when you want the replication to occur.  If you have plenty of space and you aren’t going to replace the drive immediately, just mark the OSD “down" AND “out.".  If you are going to replace the drive immediately, set the “noout” flag.  Take the OSD “down” and replace drive.  Assuming it is mounted in the same place as the bad drive, bring the OSD back up.  This will replicate exactly the same PGs the bad drive held back to the replacement drive.  As was stated before don’t forget to “ceph osd unset noout"

Are you saying, if a disk suffers from a bad sector in an object
for which it's primary, and for which good data exists on other
replica PGs, there's no way for ceph to recover other than by
(re-)replicating the whole disk?

I.e., even if the disk is able to remap the bad sector using a
spare, so the disk is ok (albeit missing a sector's worth of
object data), the only way to recover is to basically blow away
all the data on that disk and start again, replicating
everything back to the disk (or to other disks)?

Cheers,

Chris.
