Thanks Dan. By "killed/formatted/replaced the OSD", did you replace the disk? Not an filesystem expert here, but would like to understand the underlying what happened behind the EIO and does that reveal something (e.g. hardware issue).
In our case, we are using 6TB drive so that there are lot of data to migrate and as backfilling/recovering bring latency increasing, we hope to avoid that as much as we can..
Thanks,
Guang
