If that's the case see --osd-max-backfills and --osd-recovery-max-active options, and use them like $ ceph tell osd.* injectargs '--osd-max-backfills 1' '--osd-recovery-max-active 1' but be aware that slowing down recovery makes it take longer and longer recovery mean longer dangerous state of the cluster (in case of any unfortunate event while recovering). g _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
