Hi , As part of migration between hardware I have been building new OSDs and cleaning up old ones (osd rm osd.x, osd crush rm osd.x, auth del osd.x). To try and prevent rebalancing kicking in until all the new OSDs are created on a host I use "ceph osd set noin", however what I have seen is that if the new OSD that is created uses a new unique ID, then the flag is honoured and the OSD remains out until I bring it in. However if the OSD re-uses a previous OSD id then it will go straight to in and start backfilling. I have to manually out the OSD to stop it (or set nobackfill,norebalance). Am I doing something wrong in this process or is there something about "noin" that is ignored for previously existing OSDs that have been removed from both the OSD map and crush map?
