Hi Wout, None of the OSDs are greater than 20% full. However, only 1 PG is backfilling at a time, while the others are backfill_wait. I had recently added a large amount of data to the Ceph cluster, and this may have caused the # of PGs to increase causing the need to rebalance or move objects.
It appears that I could increase the # of backfill operations that happen simultaneously by increasing `osd_max_backfills` and/or `osd_recovery_max_active`. It looks like I should maybe consider increasing the number of max backfills happening at a time because the overall io during the backfill is pretty small. Does this seem reasonable? If so, with Ceph Octopus/cephadm, how can adjust the parameters?
