good point - so far it has been good to us!

it isn't - I'm still learning the ropes :)

ok - I have tried a simplified version (that doesn't take the OSD out) that
just "simulates" a disk failure (i.e.. stops the OSD, reformats the drive,
recreates the OSD structure and starts the process again). This (seems) to
work, but is really slow in rebuilding the disk (we see write speed of 4-20
MB/s - and it takes ages to refill around 100GB of data)
I don't dare to run this on multiple OSDs a the same time for fear of loosing
data, so the "slower/longer" process of first marking all OSDs of a server as
out, waiting for them to empty and then batch formatting all OSDs on the server
and waiting for the cluster to be stable again, might be faster in the end
cheers
