Hmmm....I've been deleting the OSD (ceph osd rm X; ceph osd crush rm osd.X) along with removing the auth key. This has caused data movement, but reading your reply and thinking about it made me think it should be done differently. I should just remove the auth key and leave the OSD in the CRUSH map. That should work, I'll test it on my cluster.
I'd still like to know the difference between norecover and nobackfill if anyone knows.

I will perhaps say something stupid but it seems to me that it's the
goal of the "noout" flag, isn't it?
1. ceph osd set noout
2. an old OSD disk failed, no rebalancing of data because noout is set, the cluster is just degraded.
3. You remove of the cluster the OSD daemon which used the old disk.
4. You power off the host and replace the old disk by a new disk and you restart the host.
5. You create a new OSD on the new disk.
With these steps, there will be no movement of data. Only during the step 5
where the data will be recreated in the new disk (but it's normal and desired).
Sorry in advance if there is something I'm missing in your problem.
Regards.
