I had an incident where a PG that went down+incomplete after some OSD crashed + heavy load + ongoing snap trimming. Got it back up again with object store tool by marking complete.

This should be irrelevant. Okay, it may be a case of me "holding it wrong", but I do see "cephfs-data-scan pg_files" trying to follow any global or local symlink in the file structure, which leads to many more files registrered than possibly could be in that PG and even endless loops in some cases. If the symlinks are not stored in data pool, how can cephfs-data-scan then follow the link? And how do I get "cephfs-data-scan" to just show the symlinks as links and not follow them up or down in directory structure?
