Dear Rainer,
hmm, maybe the option is ignored or not implemented properly. This option set to true
should have the same effect as reducing min_size *except* that new writes will not go to
non-redundant storage. When reducing min-size, a critically degraded PG will accept new
writes, which is the danger of data-loss mentioned before and avoided if only recovery ops
are allowed on such PGs.
Can you open a tracker about your observation that reducing min-size was necessary and
helped despite osd_allow_recovery_below_min_size=true?
Best regards,

Hello Frank,
the option is actually set. On one of my monitors:
# ceph daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-mon.*.asok config show|grep
osd_allow_recovery_below_min_size
"osd_allow_recovery_below_min_size": "true",
Thank you very much
Rainer

Hi, this is odd. The problem with recovery when
sufficiently many but less than min_size shards are present should have been resolved with
osd_allow_recovery_below_min_size=true. It is really dangerous to reduce min_size below
k+1 and, in fact, should never be necessary for recovery. Can you check if this option is
present and set to true? If it is not working as intended, a tracker ticker might be in
order.
