Hi again, In the end recovery started, just have to wait for 5 minutes (I´m guessing the mon_osd_down_out_interval). Recovery ended with the pg inconsistent - scrub error. Afterwards we run ceph pg repair again, and got HEALTH_OK again. So we could get the broken OSD down! However, I find strange that the PG inconsistent kept on coming back when primary OSD down (it had few I/O that we guess cause the pg inconsistent). We had already performed a ceph pg repair, got HEALTH_OK, force pg scrub, and pg scrub-deep, and the PG was active and healthy. However, as soon as we took the OSD down, PG inconsistent - scrub error state got back. Just for the sake of curiosity, if anyone has debugging ideas...

HEALTH_ERR 1 pgs inconsistent; 1 scrub errors pg 2.ae is active+clean+inconsistent, acting [11,4] 1 scrub errors We have run ceph pg repair on the problematic pg and health went back to OK. I checked the two osd acting on that pg (we have 2 replicas here) and one of them had I/O errors, which we assume was the cause of the inconsistent PG in the first place. So, to avoid further problems, we want to remove the disk from the cluster. However, as soon as we stop the OSD, we get back the inconsistent PG and recovery won't start. Any ideas of what could be happening? Why do we get back to inconsistent PG? How to remove the failing disk? Can't find any ERR on the logs of the OSDs, only on monitors logs. So I can't see if there is a specific object causing the inconsistent state (doesn't seem to be the case). I attach the ceph pg query when HEALTH_ERR. Any help would be much appreciated.
