That would greatly improve the accuracy of ceph's status reports. Does ceph currently know about the difference of these states well enough to be smart with prioritizing? Specifically, if I add an OSD and ceph starts moving data around, but during that time an other OSD fails; is ceph smart enough to quickly prioritize reduplicating the lost copies before continuing to move data around (that was still perfectly duplicated)? Thanks, Erik.
