Hmmm....I've been deleting the OSD (ceph osd rm X; ceph osd crush rm osd.X) along with removing the auth key. This has caused data movement, but reading your reply and thinking about it made me think it should be done differently. I should just remove the auth key and leave the OSD in the CRUSH map. That should work, I'll test it on my cluster.
I'd still like to know the difference between norecover and nobackfill if anyone knows.
