btw. On the host with stray daemons I find: -> $ llar /var/lib/ceph/9f4f9dba-72c7-11f0-8052-525400519d29/removed/ total 36 drwx------. 3 ceph ceph 4096 Aug 17 01:04 mon.podster1.mine.priv_2025-08-18T15:44:42.323358Z drwx------. 3 ceph ceph 4096 Aug 21 09:45 mon.podster1_2025-08-22T09:57:59.336223Z drwx------. 3 ceph ceph 4096 Aug 30 18:29 mon.podster1_2025-09-01T07:33:11.090257Z drwx------. 3 ceph ceph 4096 Sep 16 02:18 mon.podster1_2025-09-16T09:01:59.990439Z drwx------. 3 ceph ceph 4096 Nov 1 14:50 mon.podster1_2025-11-02T16:19:50.366693Z drwx------. 3 ceph ceph 4096 Nov 3 19:48 mon.podster1_2025-11-04T09:14:16.327796Z drwx------. 2 ceph ceph 4096 Nov 4 09:47 osd.6_2025-11-04T09:52:05.968466Z drwx------. 2 ceph ceph 4096 Nov 4 10:00 osd.7_2025-11-04T10:03:27.957622Z drwx------. 2 ceph ceph 4096 Nov 4 10:00 osd.8_2025-11-04T10:03:35.668456Z I removed a few prior to messaging here, in hope that might help but it did not.
