Thank you so much, Dan! 

Can you confirm for me that for pool7, which has 2048/2048 for pg_num and 
883/2048 for pgp_num, we should change pg_num or pgp_num? And can they be 
different for a single pool, or does pg_num and pgp_num have to always be the 
same? 

IF we just set pgp_num to 890 we will have pg_num at 2048 and pgp_num at 890, 
is that ok? Because if we reduce the pg_num by 1200 it will just start a whole 
new load of misplaced object rebalancing. Won't it? 

Thank you,
Ray

Hi, Thanks.

norebalance/nobackfill are useful to pause ongoing backfilling, but aren't the 
best option now to get the PGs to go active+clean and let the mon db come back 
under control. Unset those before continuing.

I think you need to set the pg_num for pool1 to something close to but less 
than 926. (Or whatever the pg_num_target is when you run the command below).
The idea is to let a few more merges complete successfully but then once all 
PGs are active+clean to take a decision about the other interventions you want 
to carry out.
So this ought to be good:
    ceph osd pool set pool1 pg_num 920

Then for pool7 this looks like splitting is ongoing. You should be able to 
pause that by setting the pg_num to something just above 883.
I would do:
    ceph osd pool set pool7 pg_num 890

It may even be fastest to just set those pg_num values to exactly what the 
current pgp_num_target is. You can try it.

Once your cluster is stable again, then you should set those to the nearest 
power of two.
Personally I would wait for #53729 to be fixed before embarking on future 
pg_num changes.
(You'll have to mute a warning in the meantime -- check the docs after the 
warning appears).

Cheers, dan
