The OSDs will automatically trigger an immediate scrub of the split PGs, so the window shouldn't be too long. Try doing a small split (increase pg_num by 1) and see how long it takes the PG to split and scrub. sage _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
