Hi Nikola, > yes, some nodes have stray pgs (1..5) shell I do something about those? No need to do anything - Ceph will clean those up itself (and is doing so right now). I just wanted to confirm my hunch. Enabling buffered I/O should have an immediate effect on the read rate to your disks. I would recommend upgrading to 14.2.17+, though, as the improvements to PG cleaning are pretty substantial.
