Thanks Matt! I didn't know about nobackfill and norebalance! That could be a good stop gap, as long as there's no issue having it set for weeks. We estimate our legacy bluestore cleanup to take about 3-4 weeks.
You are correct, I don't want to cancel it we just need to catch up on other maintenance items. First and foremost is our MON db growing like crazy. If this doesn't make them compact, I'll send out another email. But I'm pretty sure docs say that it won't compact while PGs are not active+clean. When the PG drop happens we do see PG status including the term premerge so you are probably right about this being caused by a PG merge.

You can set `nobackfill` and/or `norebalance` which should pause the backfill. Alternatively, use `ceph config set osd.* osd_max_backfills 0` to stop all OSDs from allowing backfill to continue. You could use this to throttle it on an OSD cadence, though that's a bit messy. Consider the recovery sleep options for that, too. However, if you want to fully cancel the rebalance, you might want to set the PG count back to where you were (if that's what you want), and unless you had a bunch of upmaps already, your cluster should be mostly balanced, minus the data that has already PG-merged. I don't think you can do something like use `pgremapper cancel-backfill --yes` (see Github) for this because of the PG merge (though maybe you can, I haven't tried it), which will add upmaps for ongoing remapped PGs to stop them from happening. Others can chime in with other options, I'm always interested in new ways to reign in lots of backfill.
