Re: Is it possible (or meaningful) to revive old OSDs?

Resurrection usually only makes sense if fate or a certain someone resulted in enough overlapping removed OSDs that you can't meet min_size.  I've had to a couple of times :-/

If an OSD is down for more than a short while, backfilling a redeployed OSD will likely be faster than waiting for it to peer and do deltas -- if it can at all.
